If you are seeking a more stable solution for multiple missing teeth, implant-supported dentures may be the right option for you. Unlike traditional dentures that rely on adhesives or suction to stay in place, implant-supported dentures are anchored securely by dental implants. This provides a significant improvement in stability and comfort, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with greater confidence. Many patients who previously wore traditional dentures find that implant-supported dentures feel much more natural and reliable.
The process of getting implant-supported dentures begins with the placement of dental implants. These implants, made of titanium, act as artificial tooth roots. They are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone over time. This fusion, known as osseointegration, creates a strong foundation for your dentures. Depending on your needs, four to six implants are typically used to support a full arch of dentures.
Once your implants have fully healed and integrated with your jawbone, our dentist will attach your dentures securely to the implants. This connection provides superior stability compared to traditional dentures, which can slip or shift during everyday activities. With implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy a wide variety of foods without worrying about your dentures moving out of place.
In addition to improved stability, implant-supported dentures also promote better oral health. Since the implants stimulate the jawbone, they help prevent the bone loss that often occurs with traditional dentures. This can preserve the natural shape of your face and prevent the sunken appearance that can result from bone deterioration.
