Implant Supported Dentures
Implant-Supported Dentures Can Restore Your Smile
If you’re curious whether implant-supported dentures could help you eat, speak, and smile with more confidence, the best first step is a simple consultation. No pressure - just answers. We’ll examine your situation, explain your options, and help you decide what’s right for you.
Missing teeth or using loose and ill-fitting dentures may keep you from enjoying the foods you love and from feeling comfortable while dining. Communicating confidently with others may even be difficult and you may feel embarrassed. People who are able to eat and chew a normal range of foods have also been known to live an average of 10 years longer.
When you have missing teeth, the remaining teeth begin to tilt and drift into gaps created by missing teeth, endangering those teeth as bone support is lost or compromised. Food can become trapped in open spaces, increasing the risk of decay. Over time, the jawbone in the area of the missing teeth begins to recede. This can cause changes in the shape of your face and premature aging as your cheeks collapse into the missing spaces.
Dental implants can actually stimulate bone growth and preserve your facial structure. The more bone you have, the stronger your dental implants and the rest of your teeth will be. Bone loss may limit the types of dental restoration that might be possible to restore your chewing ability, your comfort, and your smile. So it is best not to wait!
Implant-Supported Dentures Offer Several Advantages Over Traditional Removable Dentures:
Implant-supported dentures provide several benefits compared to traditional removable dentures. Implant denture options include All-on-X, All-on-4, and TeethXpress. These advancements in denture implants offer a more stable and comfortable solution for those needing tooth replacement:
- Stability: Implant-supported dentures are anchored securely to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. This provides stability and prevents slipping or shifting, allowing for greater confidence when speaking and eating.
- Bone Preservation: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to preserve its strength and density. Traditional dentures, on the other hand, can accelerate bone loss over time due to lack of stimulation.
- Improved Comfort: Because implant-supported dentures are securely attached to implants, they typically feel more comfortable and natural than traditional dentures, which can rub against the gums and cause discomfort.
- Better Chewing Efficiency: With implant-supported dentures, you can bite and chew more effectively since the dentures are anchored securely in place. This allows for a more varied diet and better nutritional intake.
- Long-Term Durability: Implant-supported dentures are designed to last for many years with proper care. Traditional dentures may need to be replaced or adjusted more frequently due to wear and changes in the jawbone.
All-on-4 Implant Dentures
All-on-4 is a minimally invasive solution for replacing an entire arch of teeth using just four carefully-placed dental implants. Our dentists angle two dental implants in the rear of the mouth where the jaw is densest, this approach often reduces the need for additional procedures like bone grafting. All-on-4 also shortens treatment time, delivering immediate stability. Additionally, this stability means that your implant dentures will be secure and comfortable long-term. This advantage eliminates the need for constant replacements for worn out dentures, lengthy adjustments, and other complications which other solutions may introduce. With All-on-4 implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy a secure smile that looks natural, feels comfortable, and functions like real teeth. Also, the procedure is incredibly efficient—many pages are able to get their new smile in just one day!
