Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a more permanent & secure option for replacing your teeth & restoring your smile. Implant-supported dentures combine the best parts of dental implants & dentures, providing a foundation for many teeth to be placed at once.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Losing all your teeth can significantly impact your quality of life. While traditional dentures offer a solution, they may lack the stability and security needed for comfortable eating and speaking, especially for lower dentures. At MyDentist, we understand these challenges and offer implant-supported dentures as a superior alternative.

Traditional dental implants may not be suitable for everyone due to bone loss in the jaw, often a consequence of tooth loss and periodontal disease. However, implant-supported dentures require fewer implants, allowing our skilled dentists to strategically place them in areas with optimal bone density. This approach minimizes the need for extensive bone grafting, making it a viable option for more patients.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures provide a stable foundation for a removable set of replacement teeth. Unlike conventional dentures that rely on suction or adhesives, these dentures securely clip onto dental implants, ensuring a firm and comfortable fit. This enhanced stability is particularly beneficial for lower dentures, which are often less stable than upper dentures. With implant-supported dentures, patients can confidently enjoy a wider variety of foods, improving both their nutrition and overall well-being.

Beyond enhanced stability, implant-supported dentures offer several key advantages:

Cost-Effective Dental Restoration

Implant-supported dentures can be a more affordable option compared to full mouth dental implants. Typically, only two to six dental implants are needed to secure a full set of dentures. Furthermore, it may be possible to retrofit your existing dentures to attach to the implants, reducing costs. If you are satisfied with your current dentures, we can often add attachments to them, allowing you to continue using them with your new implants. Alternatively, we can create new custom dentures to complement your dental implants, providing a refreshed smile.

Preventing Bone Loss with Implant-Supported Dentures

Tooth loss can lead to bone loss in the jaw due to the lack of stimulation from chewing. Natural teeth transmit the force of biting to the jawbone, promoting bone regeneration. When teeth are lost, this stimulation ceases, even with traditional dentures. Implant-supported dentures, however, restore this stimulation. The force of chewing is transferred through the dentures, into the implants, and finally to the jawbone, encouraging bone regeneration and preventing further bone loss.

Improved Quality of Life

  • Enhanced stability, especially for lower dentures
  • Greater confidence in social situations
  • Expanded dietary options, including harder foods
  • Better nutritional intake
  • More natural feel and function
