More on Dental Implant Dentures

The dental implant surgery, which may include bone grafting or tooth extraction, may not be suitable for all patients, especially those with certain medical conditions or compromised jawbones.

Despite these considerations, many denturists recommend implant supported dentures like the following due to the long-term benefits and improved quality of life. Dental implants are more than false teeth. The following implant denture systems improve oral health and give patients their confidence and function back.

Snap-On Dentures

Snap-on dentures, also known as implant-supported dentures or overdentures, provide a secure and comfortable fit for patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth. This implant supported denture attaches to dental implant abutments, offering improved stability compared to traditional dentures. Utilizing two to four dental implants, snap-on removable dentures offer enhanced stability, comfort, and functionality.

These denture implants eliminate the need for adhesive powders or pastes, provide a natural look and feel, and allow patients to enjoy a wider variety of foods and better speech.

Locator Fixed Dentures

Locator fixed dentures provide unmatched stability and comfort by utilizing multiple dental implants placed within the jawbone. Unlike conventional dentures that rely on the underlying bony ridge for support, these fixed implant supported dentures ensure a stable and comfortable fit.

Pre-planned implant placement optimizes support, and once the implants heal, abutments are fitted to allow the dentures to snap into place. This system offers exceptional stability, enhanced comfort, a natural look and feel, improved functionality, jawbone preservation, and simplified maintenance.

Screw-In Implant Dentures

Screw-in dentures, supported by all-on-X dental implants, offer a long-lasting, secure, and comfortable dental solution that functions like natural teeth. Unlike removable dentures, screw-in dentures are permanently attached to dental implants, providing a natural look and feel that fully replaces missing teeth, better functionality, preserved jawbone density, and longevity.

These advantages enable patients to enjoy a wider variety of foods, improved speech clarity, and a more confident smile without the need for denture adhesives.
