Implant-supported dentures benefits
Make and place optimum-quality implant-supported dentures as they offer the best stabilization. Implant-supported dentures have many benefits:
- No need for sealants or adhesives
- Eating feels more natural for many users
- Increases your ability to chew food
- There’s nothing covering the roof of your mouth
- With implants, your jawbone is more preserved, which will help keep the gum line stable with less shrinkage of the lips and cheeks
- Pressure for chewing is distributed to the teeth as well as the gums
Bone loss can eventually cause problems for denture wearers. It can change the appearance of your face, giving it a ‘sunken’ look. But dentures anchored in place by dental implants are much more stable than regular dentures and help alleviate this problem.
Additionally, with implant stabilization you’ll discover it’s easier to talk. Plus you won’t have to fret about your denture falling out of your mouth as you chew your food!
What’s an implant-supported denture?
Implant-supported dentures are usually made for the lower jaw. However, you can get implant-supported dentures in your top jaw, too. The denture fits over a ball or bar and socket. It’s then securely snapped into place by the attachments on your implants. With six to eight implants in a jaw, you won’t need ‘pink plastic sides’ on your dentures since your dentures will emerge from your gum just like your natural teeth.
Mini implant advantages
We offer mini implants as an alternative to full implants. Mini implants are used to stabilize dentures to prevent slippage and for optimum comfort. Unlike conventional implants, mini implants do not require months of healing so they can immediately be fitted to dentures.
Another advantage is that often mini implants can be placed where conventional implants cannot because of insufficient bone. Mini implants also assist in preventing bone loss in your jaw, just like conventional implants.
Both have experience placing mini implants and in designing premium-quality dentures. They can place your implants and fit or retrofit your dentures in just one visit with little pain or discomfort. This means that existing dentures and retrofitted dentures can be used immediately.
Benefits of Denture Stabilization
Whether you choose removable or fixed dentures supported by implants in the jaw, you’ll enjoy many benefits. First and foremost, you won’t ever have to worry about your dentures slipping out of place when you bite or chew, which is a common concern for traditional dentures affixed by temporary denture adhesives.
You still have to take some measure of care with your diet. Hard foods like ice and candy can still damage dentures. However, you should be able to eat almost anything else. You no longer have to avoid biting firm foods like carrots or apples that could cause traditional dentures to come loose.
With implant-supported dentures, you can also speak normally. You’ll never have to worry about slipping or chafing. In addition, the implants in your jaw bone will help to prevent bone loss that can change the shape of your jaw and lead to ill-fitting dentures and the need for adjustments and even replacement over time.
