Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures are anchored by dental implants. These implants are titanium posts placed surgically into the jawbone, where they act as artificial tooth roots. Over time, the implants fuse with the bone and create a stable foundation for the dentures, which means better function and a more comfortable fit.
The process of getting implant-supported dentures involves several steps:
- Consultation and Evaluation: A thorough examination, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to determine whether implants are suitable for you.
- Implant Placement: Surgical insertion of the dental implants into the jawbone.
- Healing Period: A few months for the implants to integrate with the bone.
- Attachment of Dentures: Once the implants have fully healed, your custom-made dentures are securely attached.
Benefits of implant-supported dentures include:
- Enhanced Stability: Implants provide a secure fit that keeps dentures from slipping or moving.
- Improved Comfort: Less irritation and discomfort than traditional dentures.
- Better Functionality: A greater ability to chew and speak with confidence.
- Long-Term Solution: With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last many years.
