Why Switch to Implant-Supported Dentures?

In today’s oral health world, the benefits of implant-supported dentures are widely thought to outweigh those of their traditional counterparts.* The advanced restorations differ dramatically from removable dentures in that they are anchored into the jawbone with dental implants. Patients frequently consider implant-supported dentures to be the better solution for a variety of reasons, not limited to:

• A more comfortable fit with no opportunity for slippage 
• Improved chewing ability
• Enhanced aesthetics 
• Prevention of facial collapse 
• Durability 
• Much less involved maintenance (i.e., no adhesives or special cleaning solutions)
• An easier cleaning process 

To conclude, although traditional dentures are still the best option for some patients, we’ve found that the above factors make implant-supported dentures the preferred choice for most. If you currently have regular dentures and are considering upgrading to this more advanced option, schedule your consultation with Dr. Newkirk today!
