Over time, the shape of your jaw can change, causing the dentures to loosen and shift. This can lead to embarrassment or discomfort in social situations, and it may affect your ability to enjoy your favourite foods.
Implant-supported dentures offer a modern solution to these common issues by using dental implants to anchor the dentures securely in place. With the added stability of implants, you’ll experience a more comfortable fit and improved confidence in your smile.
Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives to stay in place, implant-supported dentures are anchored by implants, providing a much more secure and stable fit.
This option is especially beneficial for patients who have lost all of their teeth in the upper or lower jaw and want a more permanent and reliable solution than traditional removable dentures.
There are several key benefits to choosing implant-supported dentures:
The process of getting implant-supported dentures begins with a consultation to assess your oral health and determine if you’re a candidate for implants. We will take X-rays and possibly 3D scans to evaluate your bone density and ensure there is enough bone to support the implants.
If implants are a suitable option, the next step is surgically placing the dental implants into the jawbone. After the surgery, there is a healing period of several months during which the implants fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Once the implants are fully integrated, the custom-made dentures are attached to the implants, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
Caring for implant-supported dentures is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintaining the health of your dentures and the surrounding gum tissue. Our team will provide specific care instructions to help you keep your dentures in great condition.
With proper care, implant-supported dentures can provide many years of comfort and functionality, improving your quality of life and restoring your confidence.
