Implant Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a type of denture that is supported by dental implants rather than resting on the gums like traditional dentures. The implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone and provide a secure foundation for the dentures, which are attached to the implants using special connectors. Implant-supported dentures are a more stable and comfortable option than traditional dentures because they do not shift or move around in the mouth. They also help to preserve the bone density in the jawbone, which can deteriorate over time with traditional dentures. Implant-supported dentures can be either fixed or removable, depending on the patient’s needs and preferences. If you are considering implant-supported dentures, talk to your dentist to learn more about the procedure and whether it is a suitable option for you.
