Implant Supported Dentures
What Are Implant Dentures?
For those with traditional dentures, it may get tiring having to worry about them slipping so often. Or there may be a reaction to the adhesive used, making it more difficult to chew or speak. But did you know that there’s an alternative?
Implant-supported dentures are secured to the gumline through the use of dental implants. These are often considered an upgrade from traditional dentures, and are designed to be a more comfortable and functional alternative. They are situated on a few very carefully placed implants, and can be snapped in and out of place with ease when necessary. That means no need to worry about loose dentures, slippage, or reliance on oral pastes.
What are the benefits of Implant Dentures?
- Greater Stability
- More natural look and feel
- No gels and glues
Implant-supported dentures generally offer freedom from the limitations that traditional dentures pose. One of the greatest assets is the ability to eat tougher foods that may have been off the menu for a long time; the greater support from anchoring the dentures avoids the slipping or discomfort that comes from eating with traditional dentures. They also tend to lead to less bone loss than when dealing with alternative dental treatments, like traditional dentures or bridges.
