Implant-Supported Dentures
When you are missing one or more teeth, you’ll find many restorative dentistry options to improve the appearance and function of your mouth. But if you are missing multiple teeth, implant-supported dentures are a secure way to get your smile back to normal!
You deserve to feel good about your smile and feel comfortable again. Personalized implant-supported dentures are a durable treatment option that looks natural and improves your quality of life. With our cutting-edge technology, we can help you achieve an active and beautiful smile that is uniquely yours once again.
Request An AppointmentWhen Are Dentures the Best Option?
Missing teeth can severely impact your life. You may have significant difficulties with tasks many people take for granted, such as eating and speaking. Dentures are the best option for solving these difficulties when you require a reliable solution to replace multiple missing teeth while also seeking affordability and ease of maintenance.
Implant-supported dentures offer an excellent alternative for those who may not be suitable candidates for full-mouth dental implants due to cost or bone density concerns. These customized dentures are anchored securely to dental implants, providing enhanced stability and comfort compared to traditional removable dentures.
Whether you’re missing teeth due to aging, injury, or dental issues, implant-supported dentures can restore your confidence and oral functionality, enabling you to smile, eat, and speak with comfort and confidence once again.
Types of Dentures
When you think of dentures, you probably think of traditional options that you must remove. But, while these do have their place, there are more advanced treatments.
At Torrey Dental, we provide two main kinds of dentures. Let’s learn a bit more about each.
Implant-Supported Dentures
With implant-supported dentures, you only need a few implants to support an entire arch of teeth. Here at Torrey Dental, we offer the All-on-X solution that can support an entire arch of teeth or as few as 4–8 dental implants.
Implant-supported dentures allow you to get natural-looking teeth that last for decades. You will get much better function with implant-supported dentures than with traditional ones.
Removable Dentures
With removable implant-supported dentures, you can still have the option of removing your dentures at night like traditional dentures but maintain the jaw support of the dental implants.
Removable implant dentures are secured in your mouth with strong snaps connecting your dentures to the dental implants.
The Benefits of Dentures
While every patient is unique, there are some overall advantages to receiving dentures when you have multiple missing or damaged teeth. These benefits include:
- Increased nutrition: With the improved ability to chew, you can eat a more balanced diet and struggle less to consume meals.
- Improved appearance: When you have many damaged teeth, you may feel self-conscious when smiling or even talking. With dentures, you can feel more confident.
- Stronger jawbone: With traditional dentures placed on top of your jaw, your jawbone can shrink and change with underuse. Dental implants keep your jaw and facial structure strong and youthful.
These are just a couple of the reasons to get dentures when you’re struggling with many missing teeth.
