Implant Supported Dentures
While traditional dentures have undergone significant developments that have made them look more realistic, they still have major disadvantages including:
- Slipping out of place or even falling out, which can lead to embarrassing situations.
- Putting pressure on your gums, which can cause discomfort.
- Rubbing your gums and causing denture sores.
- Needing replacement every few years due to a loss of bone mass and changes in the shape of your jaw.
To ensure the best fit and stability of a patient’s denture, implant-supported dentures are a fantastic modern solution. By placing dental implants, dentures are able to lock in place, providing optimal fit and comfort for the patient. Implant supported dentures are also a great option for patients who lack sufficient jaw bone to hold a traditional denture in place. For these cases, our office works closely with highly skilled oral surgeons to help provide our patients with a newly constructed smile.
If you are struggling with your existing dentures or are missing many teeth which makes chewing difficult, give us a call to discuss this life changing solution!
