What’s a denture, you ask yourself? What’s an implant, you wonder? Aren’t these two different things? If you’re unfamiliar with prosthetics and are looking for suggestions and solutions, so you can get back to a life with comfortable and effective chewing and speaking, then you have come to the right place. Today, let’s cover dental implants and dentures for individuals dealing with complete tooth loss, so your education can begin!

So, What Is A Denture?

A denture is a prosthetic. It will allow you to replace not just one or a few teeth. Instead, it is one solid, continuous unit that replaces an arch missing all of its teeth. You may select a denture if you are missing your top teeth, bottom teeth, or you may select two dentures if you are missing all of your teeth. Traditionally, they are supported with mouth suction.

And, What Are Implants Exactly?

Dental implants are posts. You might think of them as something that replaces your teeth but they actually only replace your roots. Then, we “restore” them. This means that we finish the tooth replacement process by putting a restoration (or prosthetic) on your implant or implants that replaces the rest of your tooth or teeth. Implants are anchored permanently into your jaw.

How Do They Work Together?

Instead of relying on your mouth for support (natural suction), the denture will rely on implants. The denture will fit securely over your dental implants because the denture has been made for this fit. This gives you great stability, when compared with simply placing a denture over your dental ridge.
