Implant-supported dentures are dentures that are secured in place with implants. They are also called implant-secured dentures. The implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and firmly secured into place with the help of dental adhesives. Once the implants have healed, the prosthetic denture may be secured onto the implants.
Dental implants are an excellent choice if you are missing most or all of your teeth. But not every individual is the right candidate for dental implants. Here are a few factors that you should consider when deciding whether or not you are a good candidate for implant-supported dentures.
Ideal candidates:
One of the biggest benefits of implant-supported dentures is their improved ability to eat. A traditional removable denture provides only 10% to 15% of normal chewing function. You can chew soft foods, but anything with crunch or texture like apples or steak should be avoided. With implant-supported dentures, you will be able to eat a greater variety of foods. Also, the dentures would stay in place without getting dislodged, unlike traditional dentures.
An implant-supported denture has two parts. The custom-made denture has an outer layer of acrylic or porcelain and an inner layer that looks like gum tissue. The dental implant, which is a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed in your jaw.
The dental implant acts as an anchor for the denture, snapping into place on the implant. The implant-supported denture is designed so that it will not shift or move when the patient speaks or eats.
