Losing teeth can be a challenging experience, often impacting confidence, health, and quality of life. At Aspen Ridge Dental, we understand the importance of a strong, beautiful smile. That’s why we offer a revolutionary solution to replace missing teeth that goes beyond traditional methods. Dr. Stuart Youmans, Dr. Nick White, and Dr. Benjamin Emery, experts in full-mouth reconstruction, are here to help you experience the life-changing benefits of implant-supported dentures.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures, specifically the All-on-4® treatment concept, are an innovative solution for individuals with extensive tooth loss. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, this approach uses just four precisely placed implants to secure a full arch of teeth. With implant-supported dentures, you get the stability and function of natural teeth in a much simpler and less invasive process compared to multiple individual implants.
The Drawbacks of Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures, while a common solution, come with significant drawbacks. Many people find them uncomfortable due to slipping and rubbing, which can cause irritation and soreness. Maintaining them often involves messy adhesives and tedious routines. Eating and speaking might also feel unnatural, and as traditional dentures don’t interact with the jawbone, they fail to stimulate it, leading to gradual bone loss. Over time, this can result in changes to facial structure and oral health concerns.
Why Implant Dentures Are a Game Changer
Implant-supported dentures address all of these issues, offering unmatched benefits. First, they provide superior comfort and stability by securely anchoring to the jaw, eliminating the slipping and movement associated with traditional dentures. This stability translates into the ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Additionally, implant dentures restore both the look and feel of natural teeth. They help maintain facial structure, bringing back a youthful appearance and a fully customized smile. Most importantly, they play a crucial role in preserving jawbone health. Unlike traditional dentures, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and ensuring long-term oral health.
The results are long-lasting, too. The implants themselves can last a lifetime with proper care, while the dentures may only require occasional updates every decade or so. Compared to the soaking and adhesives required for traditional alternatives, implant-supported dentures are easy to maintain. They’re cared for just like natural teeth with simple brushing, flossing, and tools like a Waterpik.
All-on-4® vs. Traditional Implants
Traditional dental implants typically require one post per missing tooth, a process that can be costly, time-consuming, and invasive. The All-on-4® treatment concept, however, allows an entire arch of teeth to be anchored with just four implants. This innovative approach reduces recovery time and delivers faster, more effective results. It’s also a more cost-effective option, offering excellent functionality and aesthetics without the complexity of numerous individual implants.
