What Is An Implant-Supported Denture?
Many who wear dentures know that keeping them in place is often difficult, especially with lower dentures. Dental Implants can stabilize existing dentures, putting an end to dentures that slip out-of-place, or move while you are eating or speaking. Implant-Retained Dentures are anchored in place, feeling and action more like your natural teeth. An Implant-Supported Denture is a type of denture that is supported by and attached to Implants, while a regular denture rests on the gums. An Implant-Supported Denture attached to Implants fits firmly, while the regular denture tends to fit less firmly in the mouth. Also, a regular denture will need to be constantly ‘relined’ as the jaw bone continues to deteriorate.
