Stabilize Your Dentures with Implants

Implant-supported Dentures Los Algodones

Wearing traditional dentures can be uncomfortable and frustrating, especially if they cause irritation to the gums, shift around in the mouth, or make audible clicking noises. Also, denture adhesives can be messy and slippery. Often denture-wearers experience problems over time with fit, as bone and gum may degrade without the support of natural teeth. Implant-supported dentures permanently eliminate these problems, while allowing the wearer to speak, chew, and smile confidently and comfortably. Learn more about implant-supported dentures, and contact our Los Algodones dental practice to speak with Dr. Jose Valenzuela about this option.

What Are Implant-supported Dentures?

Traditional dentures sit on top of the gums and are held in place by over-the-counter adhesive products, whereas implant-supported dentures are attached to dental implant posts anchored in the jawbone. Dr. Valenzuela and the team at Dental Implant Center place several dental implants in the jawbone to support the dentures. The dentures for the top and/or bottom set of teeth have special attachments that snap onto the implant posts for full stability and optimal comfort.

Benefits of Implant-supported Dentures

Dentures remain locked in place in your mouth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile normally. Implant-supported dentures are considerably more comfortable than dentures not supported by implants. You will no longer have to bother with messy denture adhesives, or worry about the apparatus sliding around in your mouth or making audible noises. The titanium posts also help the health of your jawbone by stimulating it and preventing disintegration of the bone, which can lead to facial structure deformity. You’ll avoid the gum irritation that is commonly associated with dentures, and also the possibility of food particles becoming trapped under dentures.
