Overview
Denture implants are a modern solution designed to enhance the stability and functionality of traditional dentures. Unlike standard dentures that rest on the gums, denture implants are anchored into the jawbone through a series of titanium posts. These implants provide a secure foundation for dentures, reducing the risk of slipping or discomfort. By mimicking the function of natural tooth roots, denture implants offer improved chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and overall comfort. This innovative approach not only restores the appearance of a full set of teeth but also promotes better oral health and a more natural feel.
What are implant-supported dentures?
An implant-supported denture is an oral appliance that replaces several teeth at once. It’s similar to a traditional denture. But instead of resting on top of your gums, an implant-supported denture attaches directly to your jawbone using dental implants. Dental implants are tiny threaded posts that replace missing teeth roots. Implant-supported dentures offer improved stability for chewing, eating and speaking.
What Are The Different Types Of Implant-Supported Dentures?
Here are 4 different types of denture implants:
Implant-supported Fixed Dentures
Implant-supported Removable Partial Denture
Implant-supported Upper Denture
Implant-Supported Overdenture
What are implant-supported dentures?
Who requires dentures supported by implants?
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, your healthcare professional might suggest implantsupported dentures. Implant-supported partial dentures are beneficial for those who are missing many teeth in different regions. The best course of action for your circumstances can be advised by your dentist.
In order to be eligible for implant-supported dentures, you need to have enough jawbone to support the implants. Dental bone grafts can frequently help restore volume and density to parts of your mouth where bone has been lost.
Who Qualifies for Implanted vs. Denture Dentures?
Who Qualifies for Implanted vs. Denture Dentures?
Dentures and implants are frequently the best options if you have one or more missing teeth, as well as broken or damaged teeth that cannot be repaired. You might wish to think about dentures with implants if you don't feel comfortable wearing bridgework, partial dentures, or full dentures.
Implant candidates were formerly excluded from consideration if they had particular medical disorders, habits, or insufficient bone. With the progress in diagnosis and bone grafting, the majority of patients can now obtain implants.
