Implant Supported Dentures
Woodland, CA
 Many people are replacing their missing teeth with dentures. Dentures are among the best options at Beautiful Smiles that individuals opt for. Snap-in dentures are the most preferred type used for missing teeth replacement. These denture types are also known as implant-supported dentures. The horseshoe shape is created to expose the palate for improved sensations and temperature.
Implant Supported Dentures Details
The definition of implant-supported dentures is just like it is pronounced. Hence, these are unique dentures attached to implants and later placed on the jawbone. This type of denture has strong stability because they do not just hold into the gums for support. The implants hold the dentures firmly to enhance smiling, chewing, and speaking without a patient worrying about slipping dentures or the need to use adhesives.
Implant Supported Dentures Materials
The titanium screws are used by an oral surgeon in placing at least four to a maximum of six dental implants into the jawbone. Once the implant placement is completed, time for healing is required for them to fuse well and later secure the artificial teeth. Securing cannot be done before the healing process takes place because that can be painful for a patient.
Types of Implant Supported Dentures
The types of supported implants include ball-retained dentures and bar-retained dentures. The two types are made of a similar material known as acrylic base. This material enables artificial teeth to have the natural look and texture of natural gums and teeth. At least two dental implants are needed when installing single dentures to have true support and basic retention. A dentist will ask to examine your mouth to decide how many dental implants are required.
