What are Implant Retained Dentures?
Implant retained dentures may be a good treatment option for patients who are missing one or multiple teeth and are looking for a less time consuming and more cost affordable solution compared to implant supported dentures, but would also prefer a solution that provides greater stability and improved comfort compared to traditional dentures.
Unlike traditional dentures, which rest directly on one’s gums, implant retained dentures provide enhanced stability and bite force to a patient but should still be removed at the end of each day for cleaning and general maintenance. While implant retained dentures do not provide the same level of chewing force and stability as implant supported dentures, they are less expensive and provide a great deal more support and are far less likely to slip out of place or cause discomfort compared to traditional dentures.
Another important benefit of implant retained dentures compared to traditional dentures is that implant retained dentures do not require the use of adhesives and will maintain the health of your jawbone. Traditional dentures do not provide the necessary stimulation to your jawbone that your natural teeth or implant retained dentures will, which will result in the continued deterioration of your jawbone. As you jawbone continues to deteriorate, other oral and physical health issues are likely to develop, such as the loss of additional teeth and your face becoming sunken, making you look older than you actually are.
