Implant supported dentures are more comfortable and stable than conventional dentures. They give you the ability to retain a more natural biting and chewing capacity. In addition, your bone structure is strengthened and remain in place. Implant supported dentures will integrate with your jaw bone providing more stability and strength.
With conventional dentures, your jaw bone can recess or even collapse with the loss of bone bringing about an unattractive smile. Conventional dentures can also make it very difficult to eat certain foods.
A specific size hole is drilled into the bone and these implants are placed into the jaw. The implants and bone bond together over the next 2 to 6 months period they become the anchor for your dentures.
During the healing period, the patient wears temporary dentures. Once the implants have been integrated into the bone, the implant crowns are attached to the implant. These create a new foundation on which your new denture will be placed.
