Implant Supported Dentures

4 Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures

If you are thinking of getting dentures, you may want to consider implant supported dentures. These dentures offer many benefits, including good stability and even a boost of self-confidence. These types of dentures allow you to easily eat your favorite foods. Read on to learn more.

What are implanted supported dentures?

Implant supported dentures rest on a set of implants that have been surgically placed in the patient’s jawbone. Each implant in the jawbone holds an attachment that can snap into the dentures. These attachments may be sockets or dentures with bars to support the dentures. These dentures can be easily removed for cleaning and during the night while the patient is sleeping.

1. Good stability

Because implant supported dentures are anchored to the jawbone, rather than resting on the gums, implant supported dentures offer better stability than traditional dentures. This allows patients to enjoy greater freedom in their diets, with foods such as steak and corn on the cob. Chewy or crunchy foods are easier for patients to eat when the dentures are not in danger of sliding around the mouth.

Traditional dentures can also cause problems with speaking when the dentures shift. However, dentures with implants allow the patient to speak on the phone, give a speech or spend time with friends with ease.

2. Implant supported dentures prevent bone loss

After teeth have been removed from the patient’s mouth, the roots of the teeth are also missing. Without these roots to stimulate the bone of the jaw, the jaw will gradually lose bone density. However, implants act as replacement roots for the teeth and can work to stimulate the jawbone. Preventing bone loss can preserve the patient’s facial structure.

Another benefit of preventing bone loss is that the dentures will not need to be adjusted as often as traditional dentures. Because the jaw will retain its shape, the implant supported dentures will continue to fit properly.

3. Improve patients’ quality of life

Having a set of dentures that will fit properly can improve a patient’s quality of life because it boosts patients’ self-esteem. These dentures allow patients to have smiles that are attractive and comfortable. The dentures also provide a functional smile, allowing patients to eat a wide variety of different types of foods.

4. Improve oral health

Over time, traditional dentures can begin to wear down the gum tissues in a patient’s mouth. Because implant supported dentures are not supported by the gums, they will not wear down parts of the patient’s mouth.
