Implant Supported Dentures
What Is an Implant-Supported Denture?
An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that attaches securely to dental implants placed in the jaw. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, these dentures are anchored by implants, providing superior stability and comfort. They’re especially suitable for patients with enough jawbone to support the implants, offering a more reliable fit than conventional dentures, reducing slipping, and improving chewing efficiency.
Who Can Benefit from Implant-Supported Dentures?
- Ideal for individuals with no teeth in the jaw but sufficient bone to support implants.
- Dentures snap onto special attachments on implants, offering improved stability.
- If bone loss has occurred due to long-term tooth loss, a bone graft may be needed to rebuild the jawbone.
- Bone grafting ensures the jaw can support implants and provide a stable foundation.
- A consultation with Dr. Bazzi, including x-rays, can determine if you are a candidate for implants or mini implants.
