Implant Supported Denture

An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that is supported by and attached to dental implants. Unlike regular dentures that rest on the gums and may rely on adhesives to stay in place, implant-supported dentures are anchored to the jawbone through dental implants, providing more stability and comfort.

Here's a brief overview of how they work and their benefits:

  • Dental Implants: Small titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots and provide a stable foundation for the denture.

 

  • Attachment: The denture is then attached to these implants through special connectors, known as abutments. The denture can be either fixed (permanent) or removable, depending on the type of attachment system used.

 

  • Stability: Because the dentures are anchored to the implants, they are more stable and less likely to shift or move while eating or speaking.

 

  • Bone Preservation: Dental implants help stimulate and preserve the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs with traditional dentures.

 

  • Comfort and Function: Implant-supported dentures generally feel more natural and comfortable compared to conventional dentures and allow for better chewing and speaking.

Overall, implant-supported dentures offer a more secure and effective solution for tooth replacement compared to traditional dentures.
