If you are missing multiple teeth and looking for a more stable alternative to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures may be the right solution for you. Unlike conventional dentures, which rest on the gums and rely on adhesives for stability, implant-supported dentures are anchored by dental implants placed directly into the jawbone. This provides superior support, improved function and a more natural feel.
How Implant-Supported Dentures Work
The process begins with the surgical placement of dental implants into the jawbone. These implants, which resemble small screws, act as artificial tooth roots and provide a secure foundation for the denture. Depending on your needs, four to six implants are typically placed per arch. Once the implants have integrated with the bone, a custom-made denture is attached, ensuring a snug and stable fit.
Implant-supported dentures can be either removable or fixed. Removable options snap onto the implants and can be taken out for cleaning, while fixed dentures remain securely in place and function more like natural teeth. Dr. Krista Farr, Dr. Jessica Bains or Dr. Eric Mack will help determine which option is best for your situation.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
One of the most significant advantages of implant-supported dentures is their enhanced stability. Traditional dentures often shift or slip, making it difficult to eat or speak comfortably. When supported by implants, your denture remains securely in place, allowing you to enjoy a wider range of foods without worry.
Additionally, dental implants help preserve jawbone density by stimulating bone growth. Traditional dentures can accelerate bone loss over time, leading to changes in facial appearance and a less secure fit. Implant-supported dentures help maintain facial structure and provide long-term oral health benefits.
Patients also report a higher level of comfort and confidence when wearing implant-supported dentures. Because they do not rely on adhesives or suction, they eliminate common issues such as gum irritation and discomfort.
