Modern dentistry allows us to replace teeth using leading-edge technologies, techniques, and materials. Unlike tooth replacements of the past, modern replacements, like implant dentures, can give you the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve––without compromising your self-confidence or comfort.
Implants have revolutionized patient satisfaction with dentures that can now fit snugly and securely in place. You will no longer have to worry about loose dentures that may cause embarrassment at inopportune times.
How Do Implant Dentures Work?
The implants are posts surgically placed in the jaw requiring the denture. Note that your jaw must have enough bone to support the implant. The denture is then fitted with a receptor that snaps right onto the implants. Et voila! You will have a perfect fit and a confident smile just like that!
5 Benefits of Implant Dentures
1. Eliminates Irritation and Slipping
A conventional denture rests on top of the gum tissue and is held in place with an adhesive or suction. On the other hand, implant dentures stay secure since they’re attached to surgically implanted posts. With implant dentures, you never have to worry about your teeth slipping or your dentures irritating your mouth.
2. Preserves Your Jawbone
When you lose teeth, and there’s nothing to replace the roots, the jawbone shrinks and deteriorates. This is common with dentures because dentures only replace the visible portion of the tooth, whereas implants replace the tooth root that fits into the jawbone. Implant dentures not only replace your teeth from root to crown, but they also promote and preserve jawbone health.
3. Long-Term Solution
Implants are biocompatible, naturally integrating with your body. Over time, the jawbone fuses with the implant to secure its place and provide a long-lasting solution to tooth loss.
4. Improves Biting Force
Due to their stability in the jawbone, implant dentures improve your biting force so you can again enjoy all your favorite foods without worry.
5. Successful Treatment
Implant dentistry has a high success rate, between 94–98 percent. People with implants and implant dentures love their new smile because it’s the closest thing you can get to your natural teeth.
