Why implant-supported dentures are worth it

Traditional dentures are an economical solution for replacing one or multiple teeth. Unfortunately, conventional dentures become wobbly and uncomfortable over time as your jawbone shrinks. Implant-supported dentures combine the aesthetics of dentures and the stability of dentures to create the ultimate tooth loss solution. The dentist anchors your denture on 4-6 implants strategically placed in the jawbone. Because of its unique design, implant-supported dentures offer numerous life-changing benefits. 

Some include:

1. Stability: When your teeth are unstable, they can slip or fall out when eating or talking. With implant dentures, there are no more embarrassing moments with ill-fitting restorations. Your restoration is firmly anchored in the jawbone, remaining stable when eating, talking, or smiling. This way, you can enjoy life to the fullest without worrying about your teeth.
   
2. Aesthetics:  Our office uses life-like dentures to restore your implants. Our implant-supported dentures look and feel more like natural teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which sometimes appear bulky or unnatural, implant-supported options are custom-made to fit seamlessly with your gums and facial structure. They provide better support for your lips and cheeks, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with bone loss and ill-fitting dentures. As a result, patients often look younger and feel more confident in their smiles.
   
3. Jawbone preservation: One of the most significant advantages of implant-supported dentures is their ability to preserve the jawbone. When natural teeth are lost, the underlying jawbone begins to “shrink” because it no longer receives the stimulation from chewing and grinding forces. Dental implants act like artificial tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone. This process maintains the bone structure and density, preserving the natural shape of the face—no more sunken look associated with traditional dentures and long-term tooth loss.
   
4. Durability: Dental implants are designed to last for life. Once the biocompatible titanium implants fuse with the jawbone, they form a lifetime union. Unless traditional dentures or bridges need replacement every 8-10 years, dental implants can last 20 years or more. This longevity makes dental implants an economical solution despite their high upfront costs.
   
5. Easy maintenance: Implant dentures are maintained like natural teeth. They don’t require special soaking solutions, as they are securely anchored in the mouth. Cleaning involves brushing and flossing, similar to caring for natural teeth. Also, visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. That’s it about maintaining implant-supported dentures. You don’t need to learn new teeth-cleaning skills or invest in special dental detergents.
