If you’ve lost all or most of your teeth, you may wonder if you’ll ever smile confidently again. The answer is yes! with dental implant treatment. Implant-supported dentures can restore your smile’s functionality and appearance, giving you a smile you can show off proudly. A visit to Dr. Ali Shahrokh from All Smiles Dental Studio in Encinitas, California, can determine if you’re a good candidate for implant treatment.
Traditional vs Implant Supported Dentures: What’s the Difference?
Losing all your teeth is tragic, but your condition doesn’t have to be permanent. There are modern solutions to major tooth loss issues.
Many people choose traditional dentures to replace lost teeth. These restorations sit on top of your gums and are held in place using denture adhesive. At night, they can be removed for soaking and cleaning.
Traditional dentures cost less than implants but aren’t as comfortable, stable, or reliable for biting and chewing. They don’t prevent bone loss, which can cause you to lose jaw support over time. They also have a short lifespan of 5 to 10 years.
In contrast, implants offer the stability and support of natural teeth because they’re inserted into your jawbone surgically and fuse with your bone system. Your dentures are supported by 4 or 6 implants placed strategically in your jaw to keep them firmly in place when you bite and chew. Additional advantages of implants include:
- Stimulate bone growth like tooth roots to keep your jawbone from deteriorating
- Complete your smile naturally to restore its aesthetic appeal
- Improve your oral health by filling gaps left by missing teeth
- Last a lifetime to save you money on future dental treatments
