If you are missing one or more teeth, you may benefit from dentures. There are multiple types of dentures available, and we may recommend implant-supported dentures.

If you are looking for an affordable option that can help you improve your ability to chew and smile, implant-supported dentures might be the best choice for you. Learn more about the benefits of this treatment option, and count on us to restore your beautiful smile!

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are anchored to your mouth using implants. Titanium screws and posts are implanted in the jaw. Then, the dentures are customized to attach to the implants.

When you are ready to chew, speak, or smile, all you have to do is snap in dentures onto the implants. Then, when you are ready to take them out, you can snap them off again. 

Therefore, implant-supported dentures are just as easy to clean as traditional dentures. You can remove them when you want to clean them, and pop them back in when you are done.

What Are the Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures?

There are several benefits of implant-supported dentures:

• They are an affordable option that can make it easier to chew and smile.
• They function like natural teeth.
• They stay in your mouth more easily because they snap onto implants.
• You can remove implant-supported dentures to clean them easily.
• Because you have implants in your jaw, you can protect your gum tissue and bone. 
• They are durable enough to stand up to routine wear and tear as long as they are taken care of appropriately. 

At South Dayton Smiles, it would be our pleasure to help you customize your implant-supported dentures to meet your needs.

How Do I Get Implant-Supported Dentures?

There are several steps involved in this process. First, the dentist will talk with you about your goals to see if implant-supported dentures are right for you. Other options to consider include dental implants, full dentures, and partial dentures.

If implant-supported dentures are right for you, the dentist will refer you to an oral surgeon who will place the implants in your mouth. It will take a few weeks for the titanium implants to mesh with the jaw.

Then, the dentist will show you models of different dentures so you can select which ones are right for you. Finally, once the dentures are made, you can snap them into place and start using them.
