Overview
How Implant Supported Dentures Work
Implant-supported dentures are an excellent alternative to traditional dentures and less invasive than full implants. Anyone with dentures will know the drawbacks — they tend to come loose from their adhesive paste and don't always perform as they should. Many people persevere with them despite their flaws. Implant-supported dentures offer the best of both worlds.
Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures clip onto a metal implant secured in the bone. This gives the dentures a secure base, reducing slippage and unwanted facial expressions. They can also be easily removed for cleaning and replacement. If you prefer dentures, why not give them an upgrade at Woodbridge Hill Dental Practice?
Benefits
What are the benefits?
When you lose your teeth and replace them with traditional dentures, you enter a new world of impracticality, frustration and problematic facial expressions. Dentures may give you some function back, but they reduce your capacity for smiling, cause your facial muscles to weaken and shrink, and they slip — and sometimes get lost.
This is not the case with implant-supported dentures. The dentures clip conveniently into the metal implants and give you a firm grip that's superior to ordinary adhesive dentures, and far less messy. They're also easy to clean: simply unclip, clean and replace. These dentures help to fill out the face and prevent bone and muscle shrinkage.
The truth about dentures
Why traditional dentures fall short
Many people opt for dentures because they are convenient and accessible, but they have several drawbacks. Dentures will not last forever — even with regular adhesive renewal. With time, your jawbone loses structure and density, causing the dentures to misfit. This is due to the jawbone not having the regular stimulation it needs.
At first your dentures may fit well, but as time passes you'll notice more slippage and mis-fitting, making the dentures uncomfortable and undependable. They also prevent people from eating certain foods, which can contribute to nutritional deficiencies and broader health issues.
Easy maintenance
Enjoy easy maintenance
Despite the obvious disadvantages of regular dentures, many people still prefer them. They offer an accessible, no-fuss option, at least for a while. Many people don't want to commit to the full implant procedure — it might feel too costly, invasive or time-consuming. For those in this position, implant-supported dentures are an excellent choice.
At Woodbridge Hill Dental Practice we have experienced dentists available to advise you on the best denture solution for your mouth. In most cases this will be implant-supported dentures — a procedure we are proud to offer. If your standard dentures cause you issues but you don't want to commit to full implants, contact us to schedule a consultation.
