Traditional dentures can often be uncomfortable, unstable, and require frequent adjustments. They can slip or shift when eating or speaking, and over time, due to the lack of stimulation, they can contribute to bone loss in the jaw.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for implant dentures?

Candidates for implant dentures include individuals with sufficient bone density to support the implants and looking for a long-term solution to missing teeth. A thorough assessment with Dr. Hill will determine the best treatment plan.

How do implant dentures differ from traditional dentures?

Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant dentures are anchored to dental implants in the jawbone. This provides greater stability, prevents bone loss, and offers a more natural look and feel.

What is the process for getting implant dentures?

The process typically involves a few stages: initial consultation and planning, placement of the implants, a healing period for the implants to integrate with the bone, and finally, attaching the custom-made dentures.

How long do implant dentures last?

With proper care, implant dentures can last many years, often over a decade, making them a durable and cost-effective solution.
