Implant Supported Dentures Katy TX
What Are Implanted-Supported Dentures?
What are the Advantages of Getting Implant-Supported Dentures?
Dentures anchored directly to the jawbone provide functional and aesthetic benefits for patients that may include:
Secure And Easy To Maintain
Implant supported dentures are designed to be long lasting. Patients can speak and eat without worrying about the dentures shifting or slipping in the mouth.
Bone Preservation
The bone around the missing teeth is better preserved since the implants replicate the natural root of the tooth and stimulate its preservation. Bone loss is therefore greatly reduced.
Improved Bite
Implant supported dentures can triple the force of the bite and restore chewing ability comparable to that of natural teeth. Implant supported dentures are stronger and more secure than traditional dentures and make biting and chewing less difficult.
Palate Preservation
With implants anchoring the denture, it is not necessary to fully cover the roof of the mouth. Patients have a better appreciation for the texture, temperature and taste of food.
Adhesive Free
Implant supported dentures eliminate the need for denture adhesives to help hold the denture in place. Since the dentures are secured by the implants, they stay secure and in place.
How is an Implant-Support Denture Procedure Performed?
Bar-Retained Dentures
A thin metal bar in the shape of the jaw is attached to the implants that have been placed in the jawbone. The denture fits over the bar and is securely clipped into place by clips or other attachments.
Ball-Retained Dentures
Each implant in the jawbone holds a metal attachment that fits into another attachment on the denture. In most cases, the attachments on the implants are ball-shaped and they fit into sockets on the denture.
Implant-supported dentures are strong, secure, and help to regain nearly all the abilities patients had with their natural teeth.
