A natural tooth is made up of a root and a crown. When you lose a tooth, you lose both.
Dental implants, made from medical-grade titanium, are a substitute for teeth’s absent roots. Functioning similarly to natural roots, these implants are stable anchors for replacement teeth or dentures.
For those missing multiple teeth, two or more dental implants may be used to secure a removable denture or support a permanent full-arch prosthesis in the upper or lower jaw. This offers a long-term solution to restore your smile.
Implant-retained dentures—also known as implant-supported dentures—offer a major upgrade from traditional removable dentures. Surgically anchored into the jawbone, these denture implants provide superior stability, minimizing the risk of shifting or slipping.
An added benefit is that the implants stimulate the jawbone, which prevents the bone loss typically associated with missing teeth. This stimulation preserves your facial structure and helps avoid the sunken appearance often resulting from long-term tooth loss.
As a result, implant-supported dentures offer aesthetic and functional benefits, helping maintain jawbone health while improving chewing, speaking, and confidence.
Implant-supported removable dentures are ideal for patients seeking the perfect balance between security and convenience. Dental implants are strategically placed to create a secure foundation for the removable prosthetic, minimizing discomfort and preventing slippage.
These dentures are easy to remove for cleaning, distribute biting forces evenly, reduce pressure points, and enhance long-term comfort.
The jawbone is essential to supporting your teeth. Here’s why:
Implants restore this vital stimulation and prevent bone resorption, maintaining facial structure and dental health.
Choosing implant-supported dentures offers life-changing results:
