Implant Dentures
Are you tired of struggling with ill-fitting dentures? While traditional removable dentures have improved over the years, some patients still find it difficult to achieve a comfortable and reliable fit. Dentures that slip out of place can negatively affect both well-being and quality of life. At ConfiDENT, we offer modern solutions to improve denture stability using dental implants. Implant denture treatment at our Alpharetta office is led by Dr. Cesar Tapia, who holds two Master’s degrees in Implantology from the International Congress of Oral Implantology and the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics. Implant-supported dentures, also known as overdentures, are an ideal option for patients who need to replace a full arch of teeth and want to maintain confidence in everyday life.
Implant Supported Dentures
Unlike traditional dentures that rely on adhesives to remain in place, implant-supported dentures are secured using a series of dental implants. These implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they function much like natural tooth roots to anchor the denture securely. One of the greatest advantages of implant-supported dentures is the confidence that they will not slide or shift while eating, speaking, or laughing. At ConfiDENT, we offer advanced implant denture options, including the All-on-4® implant system, which may allow overdentures to be completed in as little as one day.
Benefits of Implant Retained Dentures
Implant retained dentures offer a significant return on your investment. They offer benefits that improve your health and your quality of life. Beyond the improved confidence in knowing your dentures won’t slip or fall out in social situations, implant retained dentures also provide the following:
- Dietary freedom. You won’t have to avoid the foods you love or the fiber-rich fruits and vegetables that are harder to chew but critical to your long-term health.
- Convenience. They can be cared for just like natural teeth, without the need for messy adhesive creams or special cleaning regimes at night. Overall, patients find that this type of denture is the closest replica to real teeth that is available.
- Bone Loss Prevention. Since dental implants are used to support the denture, your jawbone can receive the stimulation it needs to retain its density and form. Patients who wear traditional dentures may experience bone loss over time, which can impact the way you look and cause premature facial aging.
