Implant-retained dentures are an advanced and more stable alternative to traditional dentures. These dentures are securely anchored onto dental implants that are surgically placed into your jawbone. Unlike regular dentures that rest on the gums, implant-retained dentures snap onto these implants, providing a firm and reliable fit.
Increased Stability and Comfort: Because they are anchored to implants, these dentures minimize movement and slippage, offering a comfortable and secure fit.
Improved Functionality: Implant-retained dentures improve your ability to chew and speak compared to traditional dentures, allowing for a more natural and confident lifestyle.
Preserves Bone and Facial Structure: The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that is common with the use of traditional dentures.
Enhanced Confidence: With a secure fit, there's less worry about dentures slipping or falling out, boosting your confidence in social situations.
Implant-retained dentures are ideal for those who seek a more permanent and secure solution than traditional dentures can provide. They are especially beneficial for patients who have experienced significant bone loss and require the additional support that implants offer. This solution is both functional and aesthetic, significantly enhancing the quality of life for denture wearers.
Getting implant-retained dentures typically involves several steps:
Initial Consultation and Planning: A thorough examination and imaging to evaluate your oral health and bone density.
Implant Placement: Surgical insertion of titanium implants into the jawbone, performed under local anesthesia.
Healing Period: A period of healing is required for the implants to integrate with the bone, which may take several months.
Denture Fabrication and Fitting: Once the implants have integrated, your custom dentures are created and fitted. They are designed to snap securely onto the implants.
