This includes replacing missing teeth with restorations such as dental implants. In addition to using dental implants to replace a single tooth or support one or both sides of the dental bridge, dental implants can also be used to support a full denture. This can provide patients with a restorative solution that functions properly and offers the best stability and strength. If you are considering implant-supported dentures near me, now is the time to contact our practice to learn more.
How Do Implant-Supported Dentures Work?
Implant-supported, or “implant-retained,” dentures are an outstanding solution for patients unhappy with traditional full or complete dentures. This method uses dental implants instead of using the ridge of the gums and denture adhesives to hold the dentures in place. Dental implants are titanium, small posts placed during oral surgery to act as a tooth root replacement and can hold dentures in place. This provides the ultimate stabilization and function.
What are the Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures?
There are many benefits to implant-supported dentures. First and foremost, they are much more stable than traditional dentures. This means that you can eat and speak with confidence, knowing that your dentures will not slip or move around in your mouth. Additionally, because dental implants fuse to the jawbone, they help to stimulate bone growth and prevent deterioration. This keeps the face looking youthful and prevents wrinkles caused by bone loss. Finally, implant-supported dentures are an excellent long-term solution for tooth replacement. With proper attention, they can last a lifetime!
