If you are one of the millions of people who wear dentures and you struggle with them slipping or causing discomfort, you are not alone. Fortunately, there is a solution that can provide a new level of denture security and comfort: implant-supported dentures.
Implant-supported dentures are a type of dental prosthesis that attach to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable and secure base for the dentures to attach to. The result is a natural-looking and functional smile that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
At Morning Star Dentistry, Dr. Justin Liggett has helped many patients achieve a better smile with implant-supported dentures. Here are some of the advantages of this innovative dental solution:
- Improved Comfort: Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and can cause discomfort and soreness, implant-supported dentures distribute the force of biting and chewing evenly across the jawbone. This helps to reduce pressure points and discomfort, making them more comfortable to wear.
- Better Stability: One of the most significant benefits of implant-supported dentures is their stability. Because they attach to dental implants that are securely anchored in the jawbone, they are less likely to slip or move around. This means that you can eat, speak, and laugh without worrying about your dentures falling out or shifting around.
- Enhanced Functionality: Traditional dentures can make it difficult to eat certain foods, such as apples or corn on the cob. With implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy a wide range of foods without worrying about your dentures slipping or causing discomfort.
- Long-Lasting Solution: Implant-supported dentures are designed to last for many years with proper care and maintenance. This makes them a cost-effective and long-lasting solution compared to traditional dentures, which may need to be replaced every few years.
