Conventional partials and dentures are not fixed to the bone, and can therefore be unstable. However, Implants don’t directly rely on neighboring teeth for support, implants don’t compromise the health of your natural teeth. In fact, bridges are only expected to last seven to ten years, even less with root canals, whereas implants will typically last a lot longer if well maintained.
Implant dentures are a type of dental solution, intended for those who have lost their natural teeth. These dentures are made of high-quality materials, designed to mimic the natural look, feel and function of real teeth. Implant dentures, once installed, offer numerous benefits to the wearer such as stability, durability, and comfort, along with restored confidence and ability to eat and speak properly.
The process of implant dentures begins with a thorough dental examination and consultation with a dental implant specialist. That specialist will discuss the different types of implant dentures, and together, a plan is formulated depending on personal preferences and medical history. The actual process for receiving implant dentures is a multi-step process that includes installing dental implants and attaching the dentures in a precise manner.
Overall, implant dentures are a long-lasting, practical solution for missing teeth, giving people back their beautiful smiles and the freedom of living their life dynamically.
