Understanding Implant-Supported Dentures

An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that is securely supported by and attached to dental implants. This option is ideal for individuals who have lost all their teeth in the jaw but still have enough bone to support the implants. The implant-supported denture features special attachments that snap onto corresponding attachments on the implants, providing a stable and secure fit. This type of denture offers several benefits over traditional dentures, including improved stability, enhanced chewing efficiency, and better preservation of jawbone structure. If you’re considering implant-supported dentures, consult with our experienced dental team to determine if you are a suitable candidate and to discuss the best treatment plan for your needs.

Benefits of implant-supported dentures: 

1. Natural Appearance: Implant-supported dentures look more natural compared to traditional dentures. The secure fit and design closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth, enhancing your smile and boosting your confidence. 

2. Stable and Secure Fit: Because the dentures are supported by implants, there is no movement. This stability eliminates the common issue of dentures slipping or shifting in the mouth, providing a more comfortable and secure fit. 

3. No Sore Spots: Traditional dentures rest on the gum tissue, which can cause rubbing and sore spots. Implant-supported dentures, however, are anchored to implants in the jawbone, preventing discomfort and irritation. 

4. Improved Chewing Ability: With the enhanced stability of implant-supported dentures, you can chew more effectively and enjoy a wider variety of foods. This improved chewing ability can lead to better nutrition and overall health.
