Understanding Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are a modern and advanced solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike traditional removable dentures, which rely on adhesives or suction for retention, implant-supported dentures are secured in place by dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. This innovative approach provides unmatched stability, comfort, and functionality, allowing patients to enjoy a natural-looking smile and improved oral health.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
- Enhanced Stability: Dental implants integrate with the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for dentures and preventing them from slipping or shifting during eating or speaking.
- Improved Comfort: Implant-supported dentures eliminate the need for bulky denture adhesives or clasps, offering a more comfortable and secure fit that feels natural in the mouth.
- Optimal Functionality: With implant-supported dentures, patients can enjoy a wider range of foods without restrictions, as the dentures remain firmly in place while chewing and speaking.
- Preservation of Jawbone Health: Dental implants stimulate the underlying jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure over time.
- Long-Term Durability: Implant-supported dentures are designed to last for many years with proper care, providing a durable and reliable tooth replacement solution.
Our Implant-Supported Denture Process
- Comprehensive Consultation: Our experienced dental team will assess your oral health and discuss your tooth replacement goals to determine if implant-supported dentures are the right option for you.
- Implant Placement: Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone during a minor oral surgery procedure. The number of implants and their precise positioning will depend on your individual needs and the type of denture being used.
- Healing Period: After implant placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implants to fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
- Denture Fabrication: Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, custom-made dentures are fabricated to attach securely to the implants.
- Attachment of Dentures: The dentures are attached to the implants using special connectors or attachments, providing stable and reliable support.
