Implant Supported Dentures

February 18, 2020

If you are in search of a stable and comfortable solution to replace your missing teeth, you may want to consider implant-supported dentures. These durable, custom-made restorations come as close to having a new set of natural teeth as possible. Talk to your trusted team at Hebron Family Dentistry to find out if implant-supported dentures are right for you.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are oral devices designed to restore missing teeth, similar to conventional dentures. What sets them apart is that they are secured in place by titanium dental implants. A dental implant fuses to your bone over time, and eventually, it becomes part of the jawbone, providing a secure, stable, and long-lasting foundation for your new replacement teeth. Implant-supported dentures deliver incredibly natural results and unparalleled comfort.

All-On-4 Implant Supported Dentures

You don’t have to get implants for every lost tooth to restore your smile. All-on-4 implants only require four precisely placed implants on the top jaw and four on the bottom to provide the needed support for your dentures.

What Are the Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures?

The most significant health benefit of restoring missing teeth using implant-supported dentures is the stimulation they provide to your jawbone. When tooth roots are missing, the jawbone begins to deteriorate. Dental implants mimic the function of natural roots and halt bone atrophy, allowing your jaw to maintain its shape and strength. Traditional dentures will likely require adjustments and relining to accommodate the changes that occur in the shape of your jaw with time. Implant-supported dentures, on the other hand, may never need adjustments, saving you time and money down the road.

With implant-supported dentures, you’ll get fully functional new teeth and a long-lasting smile. You’ll be able to speak with clarity and can enjoy your favorite foods once again. Implant-supported dentures maintain your facial structure, restoring your youthful appearance. With proper care, your new restorations can last a lifetime!

Caring for Your Implant-Supported Dentures

Just like your natural teeth, implant-supported dentures need daily care. Make sure you remove any detachable parts and carefully clean around the attachments, restorations, and your gums. Follow the care instructions we provide to ensure the longevity of your restorations. Don’t forget to schedule your periodic dental exams to allow us to monitor your oral health and to ensure your dentures remain fully functional.
