Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures preserve your jawbone and facial structure. They are anchored into the jawbone, allowing for stimulation while chewing. This prevents bone loss and helps your facile stay fuller and youthful.

You have a more stable, better bite. The attachment to the jawbone keeps your dentures secure where they don’t shift while eating or speaking. You can eat all your favorite foods without adhesives or discomfort.

Are Implant-Supported Dentures and All-on-4 Implants Different?

It may appear that they are the same because both implant-supported dentures and All-on-4 implants serve the same purpose. However, there are distinct differences. A key issue is the type of patients each serves. All-on-4 can work for those with less bone density than those seeking implant-supported dentures. All-on-4 was created for those with bone loss and the method maximizes bone density that is there.

Implant-supported dentures can use up to eight implants per arch to anchor a denture while All-on-4 uses only four. Both offer a secure solution.

Implant-supported dentures can be either fixed where only your dentist removes them or removable. This allows you to take them out for cleaning. All-on-4 implants are permanent and function like natural teeth.

All-on-4 generally offers more security than implant-supported dentures because the row is permanently attached. Implant-supported dentures offer more security than traditional dentures. Even so, they are removable so they may move some compared to All-on-4 implants.

Get Implant-Supported Dentures in Three Steps

You start with a consultation. That includes an exam, X-rays, digital scans or maybe 3D imaging. Analyzing your bone structure determines whether you make a good candidate for implant-supported dentures. Your dentist will customize a plan for you.

The implant placement surgery is next. Small titanium implants are placed into your jawbone. They serve as tooth roots. You will get temporary dentures while your gums heal and the implants fuse with the bone. This can take three to six months.
Once your gums have healed and the implants have fused with bone, you will get your final denture. It’s custom-made for you so it will look like your natural teeth. It can be either fixed or removable where it snaps onto the implants for cleaning.
