Implant-Supported Dentures
Having a smile you’re uncomfortable showing can have a significant effect on your quality of life. Additionally, if you’re missing teeth, you may have difficulty eating and speaking. While full dentures are a popular choice, they may not fit as securely as you like, or they may cause rubbing and discomfort over time. Implant dentures from our state-of-the-art practice is an alternative that offers a wide range of benefits for many patients.
What are implant-supported dentures?
Implant-anchored dentures are dental appliances that are secured into place with dental implants. Essentially a cross between a denture and a full set of dental implants, implant dentures can provide the advantages of both treatments with often fewer drawbacks of either. Implant dentures can restore a quadrant of missing teeth on the upper or lower arch, or both, or they can replace all missing teeth on an arch. The right technique for you will depend on your individual anatomic characteristics and desired outcome. Our extensively trained Mississauga dentists are dedicated to providing exceptional care, and they will assist in you in finding the ideal method for your needs.
What are the pros and cons of implant dentures?
If you have missing teeth, implant-anchored dentures can provide a number of benefits over traditional dentures, including:
- Increased stability
- Greater comfort
- No pastes or adhesives needed
- Natural-looking and long-lasting results
- Improved jawbone preservation
- Easier maintenance
You may also notice that you can more comfortably eat a wider variety of foods than with traditional conventional dentures. Additionally, implant dentures typically cost less than one-for-one replacement of missing natural teeth with dental implants.
