Implant-retained dentures are a type of denture that is securely anchored to the jawbone using dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, implant-retained dentures are attached to small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for the dentures. Implant-retained dentures can be used to replace a full arch of teeth (in the case of full dentures) or just a few missing teeth (in the case of partial dentures). They offer greater stability and comfort, reducing the risk of dentures slipping or moving while eating or speaking.

Implant-retained dentures differ from traditional dentures in several key ways. The most significant difference is that they are anchored to dental implants, which are surgically placed into the jawbone. This provides a much more secure fit compared to traditional dentures, which rely on suction and adhesive to stay in place. Implant-retained dentures are less likely to slip or shift while eating or speaking, offering greater comfort and confidence. Additionally, the implants help preserve the jawbone and prevent the bone loss that typically occurs with traditional dentures. This bone preservation helps maintain your facial structure and reduces the sunken appearance that can result from tooth loss.

Implant-retained dentures can last many years, often over a decade, with proper care and maintenance. The implants themselves are made from durable materials like titanium, which are designed to integrate with the jawbone and provide a strong foundation for the dentures. With good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and proper care of the dentures, implant-retained dentures can provide a long-lasting solution for tooth replacement. However, the denture part may need occasional adjustments, relining or replacement due to normal wear and tear. Regular visits to your dentist will help promote the longevity of both the implants and the dentures.
