Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-Supported Dentures

Dentures supported by implants are a type of over-denture that is affixed to the gums through the use of mini implants. This solution proves particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing discomfort or instability with their dentures, offering a more comfortable and functional alternative.

The mini implants are strategically placed in the jaw, securely anchored in the surrounding bone. Attachments on the underside of the denture connect to these implants, allowing the denture to snap onto them when placed in the mouth. This mechanism ensures stability and security for the denture.

WHAT ADVANTAGES DO IMPLANT-SUPPORTED DENTURES PROVIDE?

Opting for implant-supported dentures enhances confidence during public activities such as talking, laughing, and eating. Concerns about dentures slipping or falling out while eating or engaging in conversation become a thing of the past.

The comfort level of implant-supported dentures is significantly higher, as they feel secure and mimic the sensation of natural teeth. Additionally, there is reduced irritation of the gum tissue, alleviating the pain and canker sores often experienced by individuals with conventional dentures.

The natural appearance of implant-supported dentures is enhanced, as less plastic is required for retention compared to conventional dentures. Wearing these dentures can also contribute to long-term improvements in appearance by preventing jaw shrinkage and bone loss.

Patients using conventional dentures often face challenges in clear speech, with issues such as slurred speech and clicking noises. Implant-supported dentures promote relaxation and easy, clear communication with a more natural voice.

A notable advantage of implant-supported dentures is the elimination of the need for denture adhesives, providing a hassle-free and secure solution.
