IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURES
Implant-Supported Dentures
Our dentist might suggest implant-supported dentures if you’re seeking for a reliable, long-lasting way to replace several missing teeth. Traditional dentures and implant-retained dentures seem remarkably similar, but the latter are supported by implants. Denture users frequently lament how loose dentures “float” around the mouth, making it difficult for them to properly eat and speak. An affordable alternative to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures can frequently be retrofitted onto an existing denture.
The placement is the initial step in using implants to secure your denture. In order to firmly hold your denture, the implants—which resemble screws—are surgically placed into the jawbone. Although the precise number of implants needed will vary on your personal requirements, the majority of instances call for 4-6 implants per denture. Your denture is affixed on top after the implants have been put in and have had enough time to recover. This offers outstanding stability for your denture. Actually, a lot of patients say that their implant-retained dentures feel and work more like their real teeth.
