The Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures


Posted on 2/15/2025 by Dr. Shea

Do you find it difficult to eat and speak comfortably with your current dentures? If so, you may be a candidate for implant-supported dentures.

Implant-supported dentures are a type of restoration dentistry that provides a secure and stable foundation for your dentures. They are anchored to dental implants, which are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone. This provides several benefits over traditional dentures, including:

Improved Stability and Security


Implant-supported dentures are much more stable than traditional dentures. This is because they are anchored to dental implants, which are fused to your jawbone. This means that you will not have to worry about your dentures slipping or falling out, even when you are eating, speaking, or laughing.

Enhanced Comfort


Implant-supported dentures are also more comfortable than traditional dentures. This is because they do not put pressure on your gums, which can cause soreness and irritation. Additionally, implant-supported dentures are designed to fit your mouth more precisely, which reduces the risk of chafing and irritation.

Improved Oral Health


Implant-supported dentures can help to improve your oral health in several ways. First, they help to preserve your jawbone, which can be lost over time when you wear traditional dentures. Second, they make it easier to clean your mouth, which can help to prevent gum disease and other oral health problems.

Improved Appearance


Implant-supported dentures can also improve your appearance. This is because they look and feel more natural than traditional dentures. Additionally, they can help to restore the shape and volume of your face, which can make you look younger and more confident.

Improved Speech and Eating


Implant-supported dentures can also improve your speech and eating. This is because they are more stable and secure than traditional dentures, which allows you to speak and eat more clearly and comfortably.

Increased Confidence


Overall, implant-supported dentures can help to improve your quality of life by giving you back the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

If you are considering implant-supported dentures, it is important to talk to a qualified prosthodontist. They will be able to assess your individual needs and determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you.
