Implant-Supported Dentures FAQs
Implant-supported dentures offer greater stability, making it easier to eat and speak without them shifting excessively. If you need dentures, implant-supported dentures are a popular, excellent option.
Implant-supported dentures require implants to be installed before the dentures can be worn, allowing the appliance to attach to the implants. The implants provide greater stability while wearing dentures. In contrast, traditional dentures fit over the gums.
Implant-supported dentures are designed to replace most or all of your missing teeth. You are typically better off with getting an implant-supported bridge or partial denture if you still have natural teeth.
Healing after implant-supported dentures may involve some swelling, bruising, and light bleeding. You may feel discomfort and pain, but that can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain medication. It may take several months for you to be fully healed.
Implant-supported dentures can last between 10-20 years when proper oral hygiene practices are maintained.
