What are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are dentures that snap onto dental implants that your dentist has placed in your jawbone. Rather than simply resting on top of your gums, like traditional dentures, these dentures are connected firmly, resulting in no slipping while talking or chewing.
There are two main types of Implant-supported dentures:
- Removable (snap-on): Can be removed for cleaning but connected securely throughout the day.
- Fixed (non-removable): Can only be removed by your dentist, making them feel the most like natural teeth.
Both removable and fixed dentures provide similar comfort and function, particularly when placed and maintained by an experienced dentist in Edmonton, such as Dr. Michael Webster and the team at New Teeth Today Dental Implant Centre.
