Implant Dentures

Some of the major disadvantages of typical traditional dentures, which are not secured by dental implants:

• Unsecured dentures are uncomfortable and often painful
• Loose-fitting dentures do not look natural, especially when eating
• As the bone continues to melt away, the dentures become loose and can fall out when laughing, sneezing or coughing without the use of adhesives
• People without their teeth and supporting bone visibly age much faster
• Wearing unstabilized dentures usually undermines a person’s self confidence.
• People with unsecured dentures cannot eat certain foods, such as steak, corn on the cob and apples

These problems can be solved with implant-secured dentures, which are stable (securely fastened to 2-6 implants) and maintain the integrity of the facial structures by preserving the bone.

Some of the many advantages of dental implant retained dentures and dental implant supported dentures:

• They are more comfortable and stable than traditional dentures
• They diminish the bone resorption process (deterioration of jaw)
• Integrity of the facial structures is maintained
• Appearance is improved
• It is not necessary to cover the roof of the mouth, so food’s texture, temperature and taste can be better appreciated
• Relines and repairs are infrequent compared to traditional dentures
• No need for adhesives inside the mouth to help hold dentures in place
• Natural biting and chewing capacity is restored
