Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant- supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a more permanent & secure option for replacing your teeth & restoring your smile. Implant-supported dentures combine the best parts of dental implants & dentures, providing a foundation for many teeth to be placed at once.

Not everyone who has lost their teeth is eligible for regular dental implants. That’s because tooth loss (& dental diseases like periodontitis) leads to bone loss in your jaw. If too much of the bone in your jaw has dissolved away over time, there may not be enough bone structure left to anchor a full set of implants. However, because implant-supported dentures only require a few implants, the dentist can place them where bone density is best able to support them.

Are implant-supported dentures effective?

Implant-supported dentures are a lifelike and effective solution to tooth loss. Unlike their traditional counterparts, implant-supported dentures won’t shift, slip or wobble when you chew, eat or speak. In fact, many traditional denture wearers eventually upgrade to implant-supported dentures because they’re more comfortable and secure.

Advantages of implant-supported dentures:

• More affordable
• Help stop or prevent bone loss
• More secure fit than ordinary dentures
