What Are Implant Dentures?

While traditional dentures simply sit on top of the gums, implant dentures are actually anchored in the jawbone via small prosthetic tooth roots (dental implants). The implants actually bond with the surrounding tissue and provide an incredibly sturdy base for the teeth that rest on top of them. As a result, implant dentures are much stronger and sturdier than traditional ones.

There are a few different types of implant dentures. Depending on your circumstances, we might recommend that you get one of the following:

Fixed/Permanent Implant Dentures

These are permanently attached to the implants that support them; they can only be removed by a dental professional. Many patients enjoy the convenience of always having their teeth in their mouth. It typically takes 4 – 6 dental implants in Branford per arch to support a permanent denture.

Removable Implant Dentures

Sometimes called overdentures or “Snap-On” dentures, these are easy for patients to remove on their own. They are held in place via ball sockets or bar-shaped attachments and typically require fewer dental implants than a permanent denture. Many patients who have lost some bone density in their jaw opt for removable implant dentures.
