What are Implant Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a type of denture that is supported by dental implants. Dental implants are surgically implanted into your jaw and are made of a durable titanium material. They act as artificial tooth roots, providing a solid and stable footing for your remaining and replacement teeth.

Implant-supported dentures usually comprise two parts: the dental implants and the denture itself. The dental implants are placed into the jawbone, and once fully integrated with your jawbone, they are used to support the denture. The denture is then attached to the implants with special attachments or clips.

Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures

There are many benefits to choosing implant-supported dentures over traditional dentures, including:

1. Improved Comfort and Stability: Implant-supported dentures are much more stable than traditional dentures. They do not slip or move around in your mouth, preventing uncomfortable or embarrassing situations.
2. Enhanced Eating and Speaking Ability: Because implant-supported dentures are more stable, they make it easier to eat and speak confidently. You can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about your dentures slipping or falling out or tooth sensitivity.
3. Better Oral Health: Dental implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing bone loss and keeping your mouth healthy. Traditional dentures can sometimes lead to bone loss, which can cause your face to sag and make you look older than you are.
