Missing full arches of teeth can make several everyday activities, such as eating and speaking, seem needlessly daunting. While traditional, removable dentures were once the go-to solution for replacing full arches, the modern dentistry world has embraced the many benefits of implant-supported dentures. Anchored to the jawbone with high-quality dental implants, our implant-supported dentures hold a number of advantages over traditional dentures, which have prompted several of our patients to switch to this newer, innovative type of restoration. Some of these advantages include:
- Significant improvement in chewing, eating, speaking, and more. A clean-cut fit with high-quality materials can make these activities seem much less of a hassle.
- No sticky gels or pastes. Unlike traditional dentures, which are held in place by adhesives, these dentures are supported by a select number of implants fused into the jawbone.Patients find this design much more comfortable and less messy.
- A more comfortable fit with no chance of slippage. Our implant-supported dentures are crafted to fit securely in the mouth. The use of implants provides support that cannot be matched by a removable denture.
- A durable material makeup. By using sturdy titanium posts for the implants and tooth-colored acrylic resin material for the denture, our implant-supported dentures can provide long-lasting, natural-looking results.
- Opportunity for healthy jawbone growth. Due to the way they sit on the gumline, traditional dentures tend to wear down on the jaw, leading to the deterioration of jawbone density. On the other hand, dental implants can stimulate the jawbone by applying a small-yet-effective amount of pressure, encouraging the teeth and jawbone to function optimally.
We are also proud to offer one of the most popular types of implant denture: All-On-4®. This advanced prosthesis is supported by four dental implants and is known for providing results that look and feel natural. We also have an All-on-6 option for patients who may need a total of six implants to secure the denture. The All-on-4® and All-on-6 treatments can be tailored to suit your needs and particular level of jawbone density to create a restoration that both fits and flatters.
