An implant denture or implant-supported denture is a type of denture that is secured and supported by dental implants compared to the more traditional method of resting dentures on gums and applying denture adhesives.
Implant dentures provide a higher level of security and performance than do regular dentures. The following describes a few of these desirable features associated with implant dentures:
Implant Denture Stability
Implant supported dentures are more stable than traditional dentures. Therefore, they will not become loose, slip or slide. The dentures are affixed to very strong dental implants which are firmly anchored by jaw bone. Denture implants are long-term solutions that can last a lifetime when cared for properly.
Implant Denture Performance
Teeth play an extremely vital role in everyday life. Pronouncing words, eating food, singing and smiling are all reliant upon the performance of teeth. Implant dentures provide a secure and stable platform to speak and sing clearly, taste and enjoy your favorite foods and smile brightly at yourself and others.
Appearance and Confidence
The added stability and enhanced performance provided by implant dentures creates an invaluable level of confidence. People who wear implant dentures do not worry about their dentures falling out unexpectedly when talking. They consume foods they once had to avoid and they improve their overall self esteem and appearance knowing they have this added level of security.
The Preferred Choice for Many Reasons
Implant dentures have become the preferred treatment for replacing teeth. The installation of implants to support the denture is straightforward and healthier for the gums and jaw bones than a traditional denture.
While the initial cost for implant dentures is higher than traditional dentures, the cost over time is proving to be less. Implants typically last a lifetime and implant supported dentures do not usually require as much maintenance as regular dentures. People who wear implant dentures are finding them well worth the investment.
