Traditional Dentures vs. Implant Dentures
In this video, Dr. Vahid Bashi explains why implant-supported dentures are an upgrade from standard dentures, establishing a secure fit and natural feel.
Traditional dentures have been a reliable solution for missing teeth for many years, functioning effectively when there is sufficient bone structure for support. They primarily stay in place through suction. However, if bone deterioration is significant, to the point where there’s insufficient bone for the dentures to achieve suction, simply replacing the dentures won’t resolve the issue. In such cases, the dentures lack a solid foundation to adhere to.
Introducing dental implants into the equation offers a solution by providing the dentures with something to latch onto. Implants serve as stabilizers for the dentures, creating a secure attachment that ensures retention. This connection prevents the dentures from dislodging while eating, drinking, or speaking, offering peace of mind and confidence in social situations.
