The holiday season is a wonderful time to celebrate family and friendships, not to mention a time for eating lots of delicious foods. But if you wear dentures, you may already be worried about how you’ll cope during the next few months. Without stable, strong teeth, it can be difficult to feel confident talking and laughing, or be worried about eating in front of others. Now is the perfect time to upgrade your dentures with dental implants!

What Are Implant Supported Dentures?

Implant supported dentures combine the reliability of traditional dentures with the stability of dental implants to create a more secure and comfortable tooth replacement option. Unlike removable dentures that rest on the gums, dentures secured by dental implants are anchored with two or more implants, offering a stable and secure fit. This combination of dental implants and dentures offers enhanced functionality, especially for lower dentures, making it easier to bite, chew, and enjoy your favorite foods with greater confidence.

These dentures combine the full coverage of traditional dentures with the superior stability that dental implants provide. Patients enjoy enhanced comfort and improved functionality by securely anchoring the denture to implants. If you're wondering which option is best for you, be sure to check out our detailed guide on What Should I Get: Full Arch Dental Implants or Dentures? to make an informed decision.

How Implant Supported Dentures Work

Your current dentures rest over your gums and rely on natural suction or pastes and adhesives to stay in place. This often causes painful sores as your dentures slip and move. Over time, as your jaw shrinks, your dentures may no longer fit properly and will require relining or replacement. Alternatively, dentures supported by dental implants offer a more secure and comfortable solution. These implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, providing natural stimulation similar to tooth roots.

Implant supported dentures provide the stability and strength that traditional dentures lack. Secured onto dental implants, they allow you to enjoy a wider range of foods without worrying about dentures slipping. This stability boosts your confidence, making it easier to enjoy time with loved ones. For more on the importance of replacing missing teeth, visit our blog, The Importance of Replacing Teeth.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant supported dentures offer numerous advantages over traditional dentures, enhancing both functionality and quality of life.

Secured in Place for Eating and Chewing

Secure, implant-retained teeth allow you to enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about slipping or discomfort. Whether it's corn on the cob, steak, or a crisp apple, you can bite and chew with total confidence.

No Need for Pastes or Adhesives

If you've ever dealt with messy denture adhesives, you know how frustrating they can be. Implant dentures lock into place without needing glues or creams. Just snap them on and go.

Better Comfort for Talking and Laughing

Loose dentures can cause slurred or mumbled speech. When dentures are secured to implants, they remain in place while you talk, helping you speak more clearly and confidently.

Boost Your Confidence and Well-Being

Whether it’s taking photos with family, meeting with clients, or simply enjoying dinner with friends, feeling confident in your smile makes a big difference. Secure, natural-looking tooth replacements help restore that confidence.

Improve Oral and Overall Health

Tooth loss leads to bone loss. Traditional dentures sit on the gums and do nothing to stop the jaw from shrinking. Implants, on the other hand, stimulate the bone like natural tooth roots, keeping your facial structure intact.
