Implant supported dentures or “snap on dentures” are similar to traditional dentures. However, rather than the appliance resting on top of the gums, the denture is retained by 3-4 dental implants that are screwed into the jaw bone. For patients with an uncomfortable or loose-fitting denture, stabilizing it with implants can be a more comfortable and functional solution. 

Benefits of Dentures Supported By Dental Implants

  • People who opt for implant-supported dentures are more confident when they talk, laugh, and eat in public. You'll never have to worry about your false teeth slipping or falling out while you eat or are engaged in conversation.
  • Implant dentures are far more comfortable because they are secure and feel like natural teeth. There is also less irritation of gum tissue; patients who have conventional dentures often suffer pain and canker sores.
  • Implant-supported dentures look more natural than conventional dentures because less plastic is needed for retention. Wearing implant dentures can also help your appearance in the long term by preventing jaw shrinkage and bone loss.
  • Patients with conventional dentures have difficulty with speaking clearly. Slurred speech and clicking noises are common problems. Implant-supported dentures can help you relax and talk easily with a more clear and natural voice.
  • Best of all, with implant dentures, there is no need to use denture adhesives.
