If you’re struggling with missing teeth, you’re not alone. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers more reliable solutions than ever before. At La Costa Dental Excellence, we help patients find the best option to restore their smiles and confidence. For many, implant-supported dentures are a life-changing alternative to traditional dentures, offering stability, comfort, and functionality previously unimaginable.
Traditional Dentures: What to Expect
Traditional dentures are a well-known option designed to replace missing teeth and improve appearance. These removable prosthetics rest directly on your gums and are held in place using adhesives. While effective at restoring basic functions like chewing and speaking, traditional dentures come with certain limitations. They can slip during meals or conversations, irritate your gums, and require nightly removal for cleaning. Regular adjustments and replacements are also needed as your jawbone changes over time, which can lead to facial sagging.
Why Implant-Supported Dentures Are Transformative
Implant-supported dentures represent a technological leap forward in dental restoration. Secured by titanium posts embedded in the jawbone, these dentures mimic the function of natural tooth roots, helping to maintain bone density and preserving your facial structure. Compared to traditional dentures, implant-supported solutions deliver unmatched stability, eliminating the embarrassing slips and discomfort of their predecessors. They provide a more secure fit, improve speech clarity, and allow you to enjoy a full range of foods without hesitation. With the advanced All-on-X system, you can restore an entire arch of teeth in just one day, offering immediate transformation to your smile and lifestyle.
A Practical Comparison
Implant-supported dentures outshine traditional options in every way. They offer superior anchoring for stability, greater comfort, and a more natural feel while eating or speaking. Additionally, they promote jawbone health by stimulating bone growth, a feature that traditional dentures cannot provide. Their longevity also surpasses traditional dentures, with the implants themselves lasting a lifetime and the dentures lasting up to 15 years with proper care. Unlike traditional dentures, which need soaking and frequent adjustments, implant-supported dentures are maintained just like natural teeth, making them a more practical and hygienic option.
How Implant-Supported Dentures Work
The process of getting implant-supported dentures is straightforward and carefully planned. First, titanium implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. As they heal, temporary dentures are worn while the implants integrate fully with the bone. Once healed, abutments are attached to the implants, serving as connectors for the final set of dentures. These permanent dentures are custom-made to ensure a perfect fit, providing you with a secure and comfortable long-term solution. By the end of the process, you walk away with a restored smile and the confidence to eat, speak, and smile freely.
