Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a type of denture that’s securely attached to dental implants placed in your jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures, which rely on adhesives or suction, implant-supported dentures offer more stability, comfort, and a natural fit. They’re an excellent option for patients who want a more permanent solution for missing teeth.

Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. These implants act like natural tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for the dentures. Unlike regular dentures that may shift throughout the day, implant-supported dentures stay securely in place, offering more confidence and comfort.

Yes, implant-supported dentures are removable, but they are not like traditional dentures. While traditional dentures can slip or require adhesives, implant-supported dentures are firmly attached to dental implants and offer a more stable fit. They can be removed for cleaning and maintenance, but they will not shift or become loose during regular use.

Implant-supported dentures are far more stable and comfortable than traditional dentures. Traditional dentures can slip, move, or irritate the gums, whereas implant-supported dentures are anchored to the jaw with dental implants, preventing them from shifting. This provides a more secure fit, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile with greater confidence.

With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last many years, often 10-15 years or longer. The implants themselves can last a lifetime, while the dentures may need to be replaced or adjusted over time. Regular check-ups with your dentist will ensure your dentures continue to fit properly and function well.
