What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures combine the reliability of dental implants with the functionality of traditional dentures. Instead of resting directly on the gums like conventional dentures, these dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This creates a secure fit, eliminating the need for adhesives and preventing slippage.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

This innovative solution offers numerous advantages over traditional dentures, including:

  • Improved Stability: The implants provide a secure foundation, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
  • Natural Appearance: Implant-supported dentures are designed to look and feel like natural teeth.
  • Enhanced Comfort: The secure fit reduces gum irritation and the need for adhesives.
  • Preservation of Jawbone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
  • Long-Term Durability: With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last for many years.

What to Expect During the Process

The treatment involves several steps to ensure the best results:

  1. Initial Consultation: Our dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your needs and determine your candidacy for implants.
  2. Implant Placement: A specialist places the implants into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure.
  3. Healing and Integration: The implants integrate with the jawbone over a few months to create a strong foundation.
  4. Denture Attachment: Once healed, your custom dentures are securely attached to the implants.
