Are Implant-Supported Dentures Right For Me?

If you are missing a full arch of teeth, often dentists will recommend dentures or partials. While dentures and partials will effectively replace your full arch of teeth, they may slip around in your smile if not secured in place by a dental implant. Our Virginia Beach dentist office offers implant-supported dentures. Learn more about the benefits of this treatment option below.

Are Implant-Supported Dentures Right For Me?

Implant-Supported Dentures in Virginia Beach, VA

Even the best-crafted pair of dentures will slip around in your smile while in use. Denture slippage is one of the most common complaints of denture-wearers. It impacts the confidence they have in their dental restoration, as well as the restoration’s overall functionality. Besides denture adhesives, there isn’t much that can be done to prevent denture slippage. This is why we often will recommend implant-supported dentures to our patients who wear dentures.

Implant-supported dentures utilize the support of strategically placed dental implants to anchor their dental restorations in place. This procedure is also known as the All-On-Four procedure. Because dental implants are surgically implanted into your own soft tissues and allowed to fuse together with your jawbone, they will hold your dentures securely in place so you can speak and chew with ease. Many patients enjoy the lifestyle improvements that are possible with implant-supported dentures.

Tooth replacement options of any kind should be discussed with your dentist.
