Replacing all Your Teeth with Implant Supported Dentures
If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full denture can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost teeth and some of the roots.
Dental implants provide several advantages over other replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like natural teeth, implant supported dentures are designed to be long lasting. Implant supported full dentures are more comfortable and stable than conventional tissue supported dentures, allowing you to retain a more natural biting and chewing capacity.
Because implant supported dentures will replace some of your tooth roots, your bone is much better preserved. With conventional dentures, the bone that previously surrounded your teeth roots begins to deteriorate (atrophy). Dental implants integrate with the jawbone, keeping the bone healthy and intact. The loss of bone that accompanies conventional gum supported dentures leads to recession of the jawbone and a collapsed, unattractive smile. When this happens wrinkles on the face near the mouth become deeper and many times are continually cracked and red from the moisture of the lips. Conventional dentures make it difficult to eat certain foods as they tend to move or float within your mouth. Implants allow the dentures to be "snapped" into place eliminating movement which in turn eliminates the need for adhesives. Implant dentures are extremely stable and comfortable providing improved digestion. In many cases an implant denture will eliminate the need for the roof of your mouth to be covered by the plastic of old fashioned dentures. You will be able to taste your food much better and speak much more naturally.
Implants also provide a non-surgical facelift. Implant dentures restore lip support minimizing wrinkles around the mouth which many denture wearers suffer from.
