What Are Implant Dentures?
Traditional dentures remain secure in the mouth with the help of natural suction or an adhesive. Implant dentures, on the other hand, are held in place via prosthetic tooth roots (dental implants). They are therefore much sturdier and longer lasting than their traditional counterparts.
Depending on your unique situation, your implant dentist in Bedford might recommend one of the following types of implant dentures:
Fixed/Permanent Implant Dentures
These are permanently fixed to the implants that support them; they can only be removed by a dental professional, a fact that makes them incredibly convenient. It usually takes 4 – 6 implants to support a permanent implant denture.
Removable Implant Dentures
Removable implant dentures, also called overdentures, are easy for patients to remove on their own. They usually require fewer implants than permanently fixed implant dentures. In some cases, a patient’s traditional denture can be retrofitted to work as an overdenture.
The Implant Denture Procedure
The exact implant denture procedure can vary from case to case, but it usually goes something like this:
- You attend a consultation, during which we will welcome you as a patient and plan your treatment.
- After any necessary preliminary treatments, we will surgically place the implants into your jawbone.
- Following a healing period, we’ll secure attachments to the top of your implants; they will hold your prosthetic teeth in place.
- We design and place your permanent, beautiful, and functional implant denture.
Am I a Candidate for Implant Dentures?
Some common traits of implant denture candidates include:
- Fair oral and overall health (for example, you should be free of active gum disease)
- A desire to be free of the hassles of traditional dentures
- Adequate jawbone density to support dental implants
- Excellent oral hygiene habits
If you are unsure whether dental implants in Bedford are right for you, we encourage you to come in for a consultation. Most adults are candidates, either right away or after some preliminary treatment.
Benefits of Combining Dentures & Dental Implants
Some of the primary benefits of implant dentures include:
- They provide a bite force that is much stronger than what traditional dentures can offer.
- Dental implants help to prevent the jawbone deterioration that normally occurs after tooth loss.
- Implant dentures look and feel quite natural.
- You can expect your new restoration to last for many years, a fact that makes them a better monetary value than traditional dentures.
