Implant Supported dentures: The Ultimate Solution for Missing Teeth

By Monarchy Media LLC on March 27, 2023 at 3:22 PM

Are you tired of traditional dentures that slip and slide around in your mouth? Do you want a more comfortable and secure solution to replace your missing teeth? Look no further than implant supported dentures! Implant supported dentures are the ultimate solution for those with missing teeth. They provide a permanent, natural-looking and feeling solution that can improve your quality of life. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of implant supported dentures and why they may be the right choice for you. If you are considering replacing your missing teeth, we’re here to help you learn more. Implant supported dentures are a type of dental restoration that are held in place by dental implants. Dental implants are small titanium screws that are surgically placed into the jawbone. These screws act as a foundation for the dentures, which are then securely attached to them. Unlike traditional dentures, implant supported dentures do not rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place. This means that they are much more stable and secure, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. In fact, implant supported dentures are so secure that many people forget they are even wearing them! One of the great things about implant supported dentures is that they can be customized to match your natural teeth. This means that they will look and feel just like your own teeth, giving you a more natural appearance and restoring your self-confidence. Implant supported dentures can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch of teeth. They are a versatile solution that can be tailored to meet your individual needs and preferences.

With proper care, implant supported dentures can last a lifetime! Unlike traditional dentures, which typically need to be replaced every five to seven years, implant supported dentures are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth. The dental implants that support the dentures are made from high-quality, durable materials that can withstand the normal wear and tear of daily use. In addition to their durability, implant supported dentures also offer several other advantages over traditional dentures. For example, because they are securely anchored to the jawbone, they help to preserve the bone and prevent further bone loss. This means that implant supported dentures can actually improve your oral health over time. To ensure that your implant supported dentures last as long as possible, it is important to practice good oral hygiene habits. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. If you notice any issues with your implant supported dentures, such as looseness or discomfort, be sure to contact your dentist right away. With prompt attention, many problems can be easily resolved, helping to prolong the lifespan of your implant supported dentures.

While implant supported dentures offer many benefits, they are not suitable for everyone. Here are a few factors to consider when deciding if implant supported dentures are right for you:

  • **Oral health: **To be a good candidate for implant supported dentures, you must have good oral health. This means that your gums and jawbone should be free from infection and disease. If you have periodontal disease or other oral health issues, you may need to address these problems before getting implant supported dentures.
  • Jawbone density: Implant supported dentures rely on the jawbone to support the dental implants. If you have significant bone loss in your jaw, you may not have enough bone density to support the implants. In this case, you may need to undergo a bone graft procedure before getting implant supported dentures.
  • **Lifestyle: **Implant supported dentures require a commitment to good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. If you are not willing or able to maintain proper oral hygiene habits, implant supported dentures may not be the right choice for you.
  • Budget: Implant supported dentures are generally more expensive than traditional dentures. You will need to consider the cost of the procedure, as well as any follow-up care or maintenance that may be required. If you are unsure if implant supported dentures are right for you, talk to your dentist. They can evaluate your oral health and help you determine if this dental restoration is the best choice for your needs and budget.

Implant supported dentures are a valuable investment in your oral health and overall well-being. To ensure that they last as long as possible, it is important to take good care of them. Here are some tips on how to care for your implant supported dentures:

  • **Brush and floss regularly: **Just like natural teeth, implant supported dentures require regular brushing and flossing to stay clean and healthy. Brush your teeth twice a day, and floss daily to remove any food particles and plaque.
  • Use a soft-bristled brush: To avoid damaging your dentures, use a soft-bristled brush when cleaning them. You can also use a special denture brush, which is designed to clean the nooks and crannies of your dentures.
  • **Use a non-abrasive toothpaste: **To avoid scratching your dentures, use a non-abrasive toothpaste when brushing them.
  • **Avoid hard or sticky foods: **While implant supported dentures are more stable than traditional dentures, they can still be damaged by hard or sticky foods. Avoid chewing on ice, hard candy, or other hard objects, and stay away from sticky foods like caramel or taffy.
  • Visit your dentist regularly: Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining the health of your implant supported dentures. Your dentist can check the fit and condition of your dentures, and make any necessary adjustments or repairs. By following these tips, you can help ensure that your implant supported dentures stay in good condition for years to come. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy a beautiful smile and improved oral health with your implant supported dentures.

If you’re interested in implant supported dentures, it’s important to find a dental provider who can offer this type of restoration. Not all dental clinics offer implant supported dentures, so it’s important to do your research and find a provider who has experience and expertise in this area. When looking for a dental provider for implant supported dentures, consider the following factors:

  • Experience: Look for a provider who has experience in implant dentistry and has successfully placed implant supported dentures for many patients.
  • Reputation: Read online reviews and ask for referrals from friends and family to find a dental provider with a positive reputation.
  • Technology: Look for a provider who uses the latest dental technology to ensure the best possible results.
  • Cost: Consider the cost of the procedure, as well as any follow-up care or maintenance that may be required. At Akemi Dental Specialists, we offer implant supported dentures and have helped many patients achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile with this type of restoration. Our experienced team of dental professionals uses the latest technology and techniques to ensure the best possible results.
