Once you lose your teeth, one of the options you have is to get implant-supported dentures. Dentures attached to the jaw surpass conventional dentures both in functionality and appearance. Many people wear implant-supported dentures and they say that these restorations help them chew properly and make it easier to maintain their oral hygiene.
What are Implant-Supported Dentures?
A dental implant is basically a titanium post placed in the jaw. This post fuses with the bone. You may receive a single post that supports one artificial tooth or multiple posts that support and hold a set of dentures. Primarily, implant-supported dentures are fabricated for the lower jaw because it is this jaw that tends to be more problematic. Usually, the upper jaw is more stable and may not need extra support that is offered by implants. That being said, both the upper and lower jaws can get implant-supported dentures.
Implant-supported vs. Traditional Dentures
Many people choose implant-supported dentures over traditional dentures because they are more stable. Attaching them to a titanium post means that you have greater chewing and biting power. Another advantage is that implant-supported restorations appear more natural. They look more like natural teeth. Also, they are easier to take care of. Implant-supported dentures are built to last since they attach to the jaw, where they integrate with the bone.
Most importantly, these restorations prevent bone recession. Traditional dentures do not provide the stimulation needed to allow the bone to continue growing. As a result, bone loss occurs around the missing tooth' root even when you have these dentures, hence the need for implant-supported dentures.
