If you’ve made the
decision to get dentures, it’s important to make sure that you’re picking the
option that makes the most sense for you and your lifestyle. Thanks to modern dentistry,
there are many options to choose from today. One popular option is dental
implant supported dentures. Your Scottsdale Implant Dentist, Dr. Marcia Blazer,
DDS, has more than 20 years of experience in denture work and can help you make
an informed decision.
Dental implant supported dentures differ from traditional dentures in that
they are supported by two or more implants.
This takes much of the pressure off of the gums, making them much more
comfortable. Additionally, since the
parts in the denture snap in place to the implants in the jaw, the denture will
be much more retentive than traditional dentures. Existing dentures may even be
able to be retrofitted to attach to new implants in the jaw. If there is enough bone in the jaw to support
implants, they can be placed as easily as having a tooth removed. Implants are more commonly placed in the lower
jaw, since lower dentures tend to be less retentive than upper dentures. While your denture options in Scottsdale may
be many, implant supported dentures should be at the top of your list due to
their effectiveness, natural appearance, and reconstructive
abilities.
What Are the Benefits?
There are many benefits
associated with dental implant supported dentures. Aesthetically, this type of
denture looks natural, and patients report increased self-esteem and confidence
from showing off their new, glowing smile. In addition to an improved smile,
dental implant supported dentures can improve facial structure, replacing lost
tissue and restoring balance to your face, making you look years younger.
Better yet, you will experience no speech impairments or diet limitations with
your dental implant supported dentures- you can eat what you want and happily,
and clearly, tell everyone about it.
In addition, this type
of denture is easy to maintain, as the parts that attach the denture to your
jaw are easily replaceable as needed. And you’ll live pain-free as the implants stop
denture movement and protect your soft, sensitive gum tissue.
