Georgia patients find support with implants for dentures.

Dentures have been used for years to replace missing teeth. With continually advancing dental technology, dentures have dramatically improved. They now appear and function as natural teeth. Patients in Georgia are turning to implants for dentures to gain additional support and to maintain bone health.

Implant supported dentures

One of the biggest patient complaints with dentures is movement. Patients do not like the feeling of their dentures slipping or moving in their mouths. With implant-supported dentures, that is no longer an issue. Dental implants are small cylinders that are surgically inserted into the jaw. The bone and gums heal around the implant which mimics a tooth root. The implant has an abutment or attachment that allows it to connect to the denture holding it in place. This dental device is suitable for patients who have lost a full arch of teeth, yet have enough bone to support the implants.

Advantages of implant supported dentures

Patients who are missing teeth may lose confidence or hide their smiles. Dentures can restore their beautiful smiles. Implant-supported dentures have many benefits.

• The teeth stimulate and maintain the health of the jawbone. Without a tooth in place, that bone can begin to deteriorate. Implants mimic tooth roots and stimulate the bone.
• Implants give support and stability that is not found in traditional dentures.
• Dentures are custom-created based on photos, impressions, x-rays, and notes to ensure a beautiful, healthy smile.
• The top arch covers less of the palate with implant supported dentures because the device is held in place with implants rather than suction.
• Dentures allow the patient to speak and chew naturally.
• With dentures, the face regains fullness and looks more youthful.
