Implant-Supported Dentures

As technology advances, dental implant-supported dentures are the clear and popular choice for more comfortable and more stable dentures. Traditional dentures may shift and move in your mouth while you are wearing them, but implant-supported dentures “snap in” to implant anchors in your jaw, which keeps them steady and sturdy while you wear them. As few as 2-4 dental implants are needed to anchor a denture. These secure and stable denture implants allow patients to have confidence while eating, chewing, and speaking. Implants also help preserve the jaw bone, which maintains support for the denture and also preserves the full appearance of your smile and the lower half of your face. Without teeth or implants, your jaw bone dissolves, leading to a “collapsed” appearance of your mouth and face. Which option is right for you will depend on your health, the type of denture you require, how many teeth are missing, and the condition of your jawbone. We are here to help you make the best decision when it comes to your dentures. Dental implants require some healing time before we attach the denture to them, so keep that in mind if you choose this option!

What You Need to Know About Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures are available through W Dentistry and are a great option for replacing your missing teeth, but it is essential to know that with the advantages of traditional dentures come some disadvantages. Traditional dentures take a lot of time to adjust to and can be a hassle for some, and many patients do not like to deal with messy adhesives and nightly cleanings. Speaking, chewing, and swallowing will all take some time to master with a new set of dentures because they are much less stable than natural teeth and rely on your mouth muscles and suction or gravity for retention. However, conventional dentures are a great and affordable denture option that allows you to have that perfect smile you’ve wanted after the loss of your natural teeth.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are an excellent option for patients that are missing some teeth but still have some natural teeth remaining. Unlike dental implants or a bridge, a partial denture is removable. It uses metal or flexible rubber-like clasps to grasp onto your natural teeth for stability.

If you choose dentures to replace your missing teeth, W Dentistry will be right by your side through the process, explaining financing options and creating a custom oral health plan for you to take back your smile. It may take some time to get used to wearing your new dentures, but over time they will come to feel natural and allow you to speak and eat more comfortably. Dentures are a great way to restore the quality of life you deserve, so contact us today for more information on our denture options and find which choice might be best for you!
