What are Implant-Supported Dentures?
An overdenture is attached to implants that are inserted directly into your jaw. These do not shift as other dentures do and will make you feel the difference because you can be eating what you want or talking freely.
Advantages of Implant-Supported Dentures
- They are stable and secure, with no movements that cause slippage.
- More Comfortable: The implants give you a solid foundation that will not irritate your gums compared to traditional dentures.
- Better Function: You are able to chew and talk with more confidence because of the stability implants provide you.
- Preservation of the Bone: Implants stimulate the jaw bone, preventing its loss and thus keeping your face intact.
- Long-term Solution: With proper care, the implant-supported dentures will serve for many decades, which is definitely worth your while.
Types of Implant-Supported Dentures
- Bar-Retained Dentures: A metallic bar connected to the implant. This bar has clipping on areas where the dentures would be attached, making it stable.
- Ball-Retained Dentures: The attachments are ball-like on the implant so that a socket in the denture takes the ball, securing it with a strong clasp
The Procedure: What to Expect
- Consultation and Planning: At your first consultation, our team will assess your dental health to determine if you are a candidate for implant-supported dentures.
- Dental Implant Placement: The placement of dental implants is a painless surgical procedure under local anesthesia.
- Healing Time: After the placement of the dental implants, it is then allowed to undergo a healing period. The healing period will be essential for osseointegration, whereby the dental implants will start fusing with the jawbone to form a proper base for your dentures.
- Denture Fitting: We will attach your denture to the implant site and make it a snug fit; hence, they will be optimal for functioning after the healing period is complete.
