What You Should Know About Implant-Supported Dentures

If you have missing teeth, we know how troublesome it can be when eating and speaking. If you are a denture-wearer who is dissatisfied with the way dentures slip and slide while you are eating and speaking, you might want to consider implant-supported dentures in our Gasport, NY dental office. Implant-supported dentures are essentially a hybrid between dental implants and dentures, providing patients with the best of both worlds. As the name suggests, implant-supported dentures are essentially dentures supported by dental implants, providing more stability for eating, speaking, and smiling.

Patients of our Gasport, NY dental practice who have opted for implant-supported dentures, including our system called Teeth Now®, are happy with their decision. If you don’t know much about this denture option, we invite you to give us a call to find out more!

How Patients Benefit from Implant-Supported Dentures

They are more affordable than having a mouth full of dental implants to replace many missing teeth.

They are more comfortable than traditional dentures because they have the stability of dental implants.

People who have implant-supported dentures do not have the food restrictions of those who wear traditional dentures because they can chew more comfortably.

They are still removable so that implant-supported dentures can be taken out every day for easy cleaning.

The Different Types of Implant-Supported Dentures

Patients have two choices for implant-supported dentures: those held in place with a bar and those anchored in place with ball clasps. With those held in place with a bar, it is attached to four or five dental implants. The bar itself is made to follow the curve of your jaw. Your denture will fit on this bar using clips or attachments. With dentures retained by ball clasps, your denture will clip directly to the implant via a ball-shaped attachment.
