If you currently wear a full upper or lower denture to replace all of your natural teeth then using dental implants might be the best solution for you. Wearing a traditional full denture may cause gum irritation, as well as leave you feeling less than confident while eating or in social situations, due to the denture movement. Implant-supported dentures secure your dentures in place so you can smile, laugh, and chew with confidence. Eliminating the need for a messy sticky paste that must be re-applied throughout the day. It also reduces sore spots and gum irritation because your dentures are now stable and no longer rock in your mouth. Implant-retained dentures will give you the confidence to eat all the foods you love.
Here are some additional advantages to wearing dentures secured by implants:
- Hold your dentures in place reducing movement
- Helps eliminate sore gums
- Helps prevent bone loss in the jaw
- Helps preserve facial features
- Increases bite force and ability to chew
- Improves appearance and confidence in social situations
