Why Should You Choose Implant Supported Dentures Over Regular Dentures?

Ana Receptionist

Many people seek dentures for several reasons, such as damaged teeth, tooth decay, or tooth loss from gum disease. No matter the reason, dentures are an important treatment option so that patients may feel confident and continue to eat and speak as they normally would. That’s why investing in a reliable and durable set of dentures is important so you can continue to enjoy life with little to no maintenance needed. If you’re considering dentures, discover why implant supported dentures are the best choice.

What Are Implant Supported Dentures?

Like natural teeth, implant-supported dentures are directly connected to the jawbone. This is done using dental implants, which are titanium posts that are implanted into the jaw and act as anchors. The top part of the implant provides structural support for the dentures to be placed.

On the other hand, traditional dentures are placed on top of the gums. This mechanism is meant to use precise fit and suction to remain secure. However, they often end up slipping.

Traditional dentures can make it difficult to eat since it’s difficult to chew properly since the dentures are not secure enough. Those who wear dentures are likely to feel insecure and embarrassed since traditional dentures tend to slip out when speaking or chewing.

Advantages of Implant Supported Dentures

Implant supported dentures provide patients with numerous benefits, including:

Improved Stability

With traditional braces, a patient may not be able to enjoy some of their favorite foods. However, since implant supported dentures are supported by implants in the jawbone, they are much more stable and are less prone to slipping when chewing or speaking.

Prevent Atrophy

Implants stimulate the jawbone and prevent bone atrophy, which does not take place with traditional dentures since they rest on top of the gums.

Convenient

Traditional dentures must be soaked in a cleaning solution regularly, as well as regular appointments for adjustments and repair. Implant supported dentures allow you to brush and floss your teeth as you usually would in addition to regular dental appointments. They are also much more durable and can last for several years.
