What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
If you’re missing a few teeth in an arch or even an entire arch, you may benefit from implant-supported dentures. An implant-supported denture is precisely what it sounds like – instead of using adhesives, the denture stays in place by snapping onto the implants that have been placed into the jawbone. They can be removable or fixed in place, and we will work with you to determine the best option for you.
Implant-Supported Dentures vs Traditional Dentures
There are some key differences between traditional dentures and implant-supported dentures. It’s important for patients to discuss their needs and goals with our team in order to understand which option is best for them.
- Implant-supported dentures are secured in place using implants, while traditional dentures use adhesives. This makes the implant-supported dentures more secure than the traditional option.
- Because they are more secure, implant-supported dentures also provide more stability when eating and talking. Traditional dentures tend to shift around, making them inconvenient and uncomfortable to many wearers.
- Implants help preserve the jawbone’s integrity, meaning that patients who opt for implant-supported dentures are less likely to experience bone loss or facial collapse in the future.
The Long-Term Benefits Of Choosing Implant-Supported Dentures
When you choose implant-supported dentures as your smile restoration option, you can expect to experience a variety of benefits.
- Experience a denture that stays in place with no slipping, shifting, or clicking, thanks to the secure implants.
- These implants not only serve as replacement roots but also stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
- Enjoy the natural look, feel, and functionality of your dentures, maintaining your bone structure and preventing facial sagging.
- With proper oral hygiene, you can keep the same dentures for many years, ensuring long-lasting satisfaction.
When you come in for a consultation, our team will go over your health history, take images, and help you decide if this implant option is what’s best for your oral health.
Maintenance For Your Implant-Supported Dentures
Caring for your new implant-supported dentures is a very straightforward process. Clean your dentures regularly by brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste. If you have removable dentures, you will need to soak them overnight in a denture solution. We’re happy to recommend our favorites. It is important to also maintain your oral hygiene to keep your gums and any remaining teeth healthy.
If you ever have questions about keeping your implants and dentures clean, call our office. Our team is always here to walk you through the care recommendations.
