IMPLANT-SUPPORTED DENTURES
Implant-supported dentures are a remarkable advancement in dentistry that offer a secure and long-lasting solution for individuals with missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and are prone to slippage and discomfort, implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. This innovative approach provides stability, functionality, and a natural-looking smile. Make an appointment with our dentists if you’re curious to learn more about tooth replacement.
The process of getting implant-supported dentures typically involves two main stages. In the initial phase, dental implants are inserted into the jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots and fuse with the bone over time through a process called osseointegration. This integration ensures a solid foundation for the dentures. Once the implants have integrated, the second phase involves attaching the custom-made dentures to the implants. The dentures are designed to fit securely and comfortably, providing patients with enhanced chewing ability and speech clarity.
Implant-supported dentures offer numerous advantages over traditional dentures. Firstly, they eliminate the need for messy adhesives, which can be inconvenient and unreliable. Secondly, they prevent bone loss in the jaw, which is a common side effect of missing teeth and can lead to facial sagging and changes in appearance. By stimulating the jawbone, implants help maintain its integrity. Additionally, implant-supported dentures restore the ability to bite and chew effectively, enabling individuals to enjoy a wider range of foods and improving their overall quality of life.
