Top 5 Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures

Have you been researching options to replace your missing teeth? If so, you’re among company. Around 5% of the population has no teeth at all, and, according to the CDC, this number jumps up to 25% for those aged 60 or older.

There are a lot of different routes you can take to restore your smile. At Rose Wang Dental and Associates, one of the services we offer to replace missing teeth is implant dentures. It’s a straightforward procedure that has become very popular throughout the United States. Although there are a lot of reasons why implant supported dentures are a great choice, these five rise above the rest.

1. The Stability of Your Dentures Will Improve

If you already have dentures, you’re probably familiar with their shortcomings. Sometimes they wiggle, don’t fit right, and require adhesives. With implant supported dentures, the implants literally anchor the denture in place permanently, so there’s no movement, and no need for adhesives.

2. They Feel Better

Some people avoid wearing a removable prosthesis entirely if it causes discomfort. Because implant dentures fit better, they feel superior to traditional ones, too. There’s no rocking back and forth, and there aren’t any sore spots from rubbing or uneven pressure.

3. You’ll Be Able to Eat the Foods You Love Again

A lot of people have to give up the foods they love as the result of an ill-fitting apparatus, or because it’s difficult to eat most foods with missing teeth. Sometimes, it’s just plain uncomfortable to eat certain foods.Other times, there’s fear that the false teeth might fall out or shift and cause embarrassment. With implant dentures, the appliance stays firmly in place, so you can eat comfortably and confidently. This can also have a huge impact on your overall health if you’ve been avoiding wholesome foods, like fruits and vegetables, because they’re too tough to eat.

4. You Can Maintain a Youthful Appearance

Have you ever noticed how older people sometimes have a mouth that puckers inward? That’s not a normal part of aging. When a person has a missing tooth, the bone surrounding the area begins to deteriorate. As more teeth are lost, the jaw begins to take on the concave look that most people associate with aging. This is also why a traditional prosthesis requires relines and adjustments every few years- the shape of the jaw is literally changing. Because implants are designed to function much like natural teeth, they can slow this process of bone loss and sometimes stop it altogether.

5. You Can Return to Your Normal Life Faster and Save Money

Implant supported dentures utilize just a few implants to provide you with improved form and function over a traditional prosthesis. Compared to replacing all of your missing teeth with implants, it’s a much more economical solution. It’s also less complicated, as well as less invasive, so you can return to normal activities sooner.
