St. Louis, Missouri, area patients who are considering their options for tooth replacement have many choices available to them at The DentaLink with Drs. Allan and Andrew Link. This includes using implant-supported dentures to replace the entire arch of teeth. Implant-supported dentures use four to six implants along the arch to hold a complete denture in place for optimum stability, strength, and function.
What are the benefits of implant-supported dentures?
If you are seeking tooth replacement options such as implant dentistry, it is best to fully understand their many advantages. Some of the benefits of our implant-supported dentures include:
- Improved stability. Implant-supported dentures are much more secure than traditional dentures. The dental implants will anchor the denture and prevent movement, so you don’t have to worry about them slipping or falling out of place
- Enhanced chewing ability. With implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about difficulty chewing food
- Enhanced facial features. The implant-supported denture option helps to maintain the structure of your jaw and gives you a more youthful appearance by restoring your full facial contours
- Improved durability. Dental implants are highly durable and often last for years with proper care and maintenance. Our team performs the dental implant procedure in a single appointment and does require some time to heal before placing the dentures
- Affordability. Compared to traditional dentures that fail to stay in place, implant-supported dentures may be more reliable and affordable in the long term. Dental implants can last decades, so even if implant dentistry costs more upfront, patients save money over time thanks to their longevity and durability
How do I know if I am a good fit for the dental implant procedure and implant-retained dentures?
The dental implant procedure does require patients to have sufficient bone for the implant procedure to be successful. To determine this, our team will perform several dental X-rays to look at the structure of the smile and plan the procedure.
