Transform Your Smile With Implant Supported Dentures

For those who are missing some or all of their teeth, implant supported dentures can be the one-stop solution for smile restoration. Implant supported dentures are a vast improvement on traditional dentures, offering heightened support and stability while maintaining a lifelike appearance and feel.
While conventional dentures rely on the mouth muscles and gums for support, implant supported dentures attach directly to posts that are strategically placed in the jawbone. These prostheses can be used both on the top and bottom of the bite, although dentists recommend replacing the bottom row of teeth at the very least, as traditional dentures are not as stable there.
A lifelike solution to missing teeth
Implant supported dentures have many benefits that can keep patients both happy and healthy. When tooth loss occurs due to advanced age, injury or decay, the jawbone begins to shrink away from disuse. The longer a patient waits to replace those teeth, the more jawbone density is lost.
Traditional dentures sit on top of the gums, using mouth muscles for support and allowing the jawbone to disintegrate underneath it. With implant supported dentures, the jawbone is utilized, preserving the bone. Jawbone preservation is crucial for patients who wish to maintain a youthful appearance. As the jaw deteriorates, as it will with traditional dentures, the face can take on a sunken look. Therefore, traditional dentures can add years to the appearance of a patient.
How do implants work?
Implant supported dentures, as the name suggests, are attached directly to strategically placed implants in the jaw. Dental implants have long been used for teeth replacement and are revered as the best method for smile restoration.
These titanium, screw-like posts are inserted directly into the jawbone. The oral surgeon will use anywhere from four to six implants in order to secure an implant supported denture. Once the implants are successfully placed, they can remain functional for decades, even a lifetime. The whole time, these implants will constantly be keeping the jawbone in use, saving it from deterioration.
Implant supported dentures not only work better than conventional dentures, but they also look and feel better. The method of attaching implant supported dentures allows for a more realistic appearance, along with increased confidence when speaking, eating or smiling. Due to the use of implants, implant supported dentures are just as secure in the mouth as natural teeth. That means implant supported denture-wearers can eat whatever they want and smile effortlessly in photos without worrying about the appearance of traditional dentures.
