Implant-supported dentures are an excellent solution for patients seeking improved stability and comfort compared to traditional removable dentures. This method combines the benefits of dental implants with the functionality of dentures, providing greater support and a more natural feeling during chewing and speaking. 

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures? 

These dentures are designed to fit onto titanium implants that are surgically placed in the jawbones. The dentures “snap” onto the implants via special attachments, ensuring stability and comfort during use. This technique can be applied to both the upper and lower jaw. 

Advantages

1. Increased stability: Implant-supported dentures do not shift or move, offering better performance during chewing and speaking. 

1. Improved comfort: Unlike traditional dentures that may irritate the gums, implant-supported dentures are gentler on the soft tissues. 

1. Prevention of bone loss: Implants stimulate the bone and help prevent bone resorption and loss over time. 

1. Better aesthetics: They provide a more natural appearance compared to conventional dentures.
