Implant dentures represent a revolutionary dental solution that combines the stability of dental implants with the comprehensive coverage of traditional dentures. Unlike conventional removable dentures that sit on the gums, implant dentures are securely anchored to surgically placed titanium posts in the jawbone, providing patients with a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option.
The process begins with strategically positioning dental implants—typically two to six titanium posts—into the jawbone. These posts act like artificial tooth roots, creating a solid foundation for the denture. Once healed, a custom-designed denture is attached to these implants, creating a stable and natural-looking restoration that functions remarkably similarly to the original teeth.
The Advantages of Implant-Supported Dentures
Patients choosing implant dentures in Elroy enjoy significant advantages, including improved chewing ability, enhanced speech clarity, and greater confidence. The implants help preserve jawbone density, preventing the facial structure changes common with traditional dentures. Furthermore, they eliminate the movement and potential discomfort associated with removable appliances.
Ideal candidates include individuals with substantial tooth loss, those experiencing difficulty with traditional dentures, and patients seeking a long-term dental restoration solution. At Wojtowicz Dental, our experienced team can evaluate your specific needs and determine whether implant dentures are the right choice for your dental health journey.
