Are you trading your traditional dentures for implant-stabilized dentures?
Implant-retained or implant-stabilized dentures both provide various merits over traditional dentures.
Secure in the mouth—no slipping
Offers up to 100% natural chewing function
Upper denture doesn’t cover as much of the palate
This helps wearers taste food more easily. (Hooray!)
More comfortable
When dentures are fixed in place, they don’t slip around, allowing the wearer to feel more confident in social or professional situations.
Little or no gum irritation
Mouth sores lower the quality of life and can make eating painful.
Doesn’t impair speaking power
Denture wearers understand how frustrating it is to not be able to speak properly. With implant-stabilized dentures, you can regain the ease of talking and laughing.
Stronger
Implant-retained dentures are strong and long-lasting.
Prevents bone loss
When bone recedes, you can get that “sunken face” look. Nothing ages a person more than hollowed-out cheeks.
Allows the wearer to eat any type of food
Has it been a while since you’ve taken a bite of a juicy steak or crisp, red apple? It’s time to enjoy your favorite foods again!
No adhesive required
You won’t miss gluing your dentures into your mouth.
What Are The Differences Between Fixed and Removable?
Fixed implant-retained dentures (sometimes called screw-in) necessitate more implants than the removable type. However, they can restore 100% chewing capacity.
Removable implant dentures (sometimes called snap-in) may necessitate just 4 implants to stabilize the upper arch and just 2 for the lower denture. Removable implant-stabilized dentures can restore up to 90% of chewing ability.
Should I get removable or fixed implant-anchored dentures?
The following factors will impact your choice.
Bone Health
Implants require the patient to have a sufficient amount of healthy bone structure for placement. The condition of your jawbone impacts whether it can support implants and where the posts can be inserted.
Price
Fixed implant dentures cost more but some people believe the advantages outweigh the extra expense.
Convenience
Fixed implant-stabilized dentures don’t have to be taken out for cleaning. Patients who have found it inconvenient to clean standard dentures would face the same issue with removable implant-retained dentures.
Preferred Foods
Fixed dentures are stronger than removable dentures. Patients who choose foods that are harder to chew should consider this.
Sleep Conditions
People with TMJ or sleep apnea may find it more difficult to manage these conditions if they have to remove their dentures at night.
Now, denture wearers have an amazing new tooth replacement option.
