Implant retained dentures provide a more comfortable, stable fit for those who need teeth replacement. One of the most common problems when it comes to removable dentures is that they tend to slip and click when the wearer eats or speaks.
Patients also complain that removable dentures can be uncomfortable, resulting in them not wearing the dentures as often as needed. While traditional dentures rest on the gums and often require the use of a dental adhesive, implant retained dentures are attached to implants in the jaw. These dentures are securely connected to implants, making them more comfortable and stable than traditional dentures.
One of the main reasons patients find traditional dentures uncomfortable is that they have large parts that go over the gums and cover most of the palette. This causes the dentures to feel uncomfortable and can alter the way the person speaks. Implant retained dentures, however, are less bulky than traditional dentures, as the extra material that goes over the gums and palette is no longer needed.
For patients, that means the dentures are more comfortable, allowing the wearer to speak properly.
Since implant retained dentures are anchored onto implants, they are inherently more stable than their traditional counterparts. Patients with traditional dentures usually complain about how the dentures are constantly slipping while they are eating or talking, despite applying adhesive, Implant retained dentures completely eliminate slippage, which gives the patients more confidence when speaking and eating, knowing that the dentures will no longer slip.
The process of installing implant retained dentures requires intensive measurements of the mouth and gums. During the process, impressions of the gums and remaining teeth are taken. The impressions are used to create the artificial teeth, giving them a natural look.
Simply put, implant retained dentures are just more comfortable. Since the implants are anchored directly on the jaw, there is no longer a need to apply adhesive to the gums. Dietary restrictions are significantly reduced, since these dentures are much more stable than traditional dentures. People with these prosthetics can eat more types of food than those with traditional dentures. And since implant retained dentures appear more natural than traditional ones, people are less concerned about how they look while wearing their dentures.
There are many benefits of getting implant retained dentures. For many dentists and patients, they have become the gold standard for dentures because of the increased comfort and natural look. They offer better aesthetics, a more pleasant eating experience and a more stable denture.
