Ideally, everyone keeps their natural teeth throughout their lives without any issues. Unfortunately, trauma, illness, and poor hygiene can lead to tooth loss. Without teeth, you may experience functionality issues with the speech and chewing surface or you could experience bone loss. Dentures allow patients to have functional, aesthetically pleasing smiles. With a location in Woodbridge, ON, Dr. Vageesh Sabharwal offers full, partial, and implant supported dentures.
Implant supported dentures
Implant supported dentures offer patients additional stability because the dentures are secured to the jaw with dental implants. To be a good candidate for these dentures, patients must have a healthy jawbone that can support dental implants. These implants are small cylinders that are surgically placed into the jawbone. The dentures are then connected to the implants with fittings or attachments.
Advantages of dentures
Without teeth, patients often hide their smiles and their confidence levels may decrease. Dentures help restore a natural, beautiful smile. There are a number of benefits of implant supported dentures.
- Without a tooth, the bone in the jaw can start to deteriorate. A dental implant is designed to mimic the tooth root which helps maintain the health of the jawbone.
- Dental implants add a level of security and stability not found with other dentures or dental restorations.
- Implant supported dentures are custom created to fit, look, and act as natural teeth giving you a beautiful, functional smile.
- Routine functions such as chewing and speaking become natural.
- The upper jaw of implant supported dentures does not cover the roof of the mouth making it more comfortable for patients.
- Dentures help your face regain fullness and a more youthful look.
- Implant supported dentures can be removable or fixed depending upon the patient’s need.
