How are implant-supported dentures different from traditional dentures?
What are the benefits of implant-supported dentures?
- More stability and security: No slipping or moving around, enabling you to eat, smile, and talk with confidence.
- Better eating experience: You can enjoy a wider range of foods since your dentures won’t fall out or move around while eating.
- Improved oral health: Implant-supported dentures provide better support to the jawbone, reducing bone loss and preserving oral health.
- Improved facial appearance: Since implant-supported dentures are more stable, they help maintain the facial structure, preventing the sunken or shrunken appearance associated with traditional dentures.
How are implant-supported dentures installed?
- Dental implant surgery: The dental implants are placed in your jawbone, and you’ll need several months to heal before moving on to the next step.
- Abutment placement: Once the implants have fused with your jawbone, abutments (small connecting devices) are attached to them.
- Denture fitting: Finally, your custom-made dentures are attached to the abutments, creating a secure and comfortable fit.
