Implant-Supported Partials: When You Only Have Partial Knowledge

Who Is Implant Support For?

We remind you that support provided by dental implants, whether in the form of an implant-supported partial, implant-supported denture, implants and crowns, etc., is for just about anybody. So, why select implants over traditional support, then? Does everyone qualify, you ask? Let’s clear the details up very quickly:

  • Implants replace tooth roots, which means amazing stability, full tooth replacement, and some important protection for your jaw tissue
  • Candidacy is based on multiple factors! Primarily, this includes your desire for implants, as well as a sufficiently healthy jawbone that can support implants.
  • To learn more, all you have to do is schedule a consultation!

What’s An Implant-Supported Partial All About?

This is easy! An implant-supported partial is just like a partial denture … only it’s placed over dental implants that you have placed in the open spaces in your smile, where your roots previously resided. The implants will bond with the tissue of your jawbone. The partial they support will allow you to replace partial tooth loss. This may include one tooth or multiple teeth in a variety of patterns. The one thing you cannot address with an implant partial is complete tooth loss. For that you need a full implant-supported denture!

Does It Rely On Remaining Teeth Like A Traditional Partial?

Nope! This is one of the major benefits of selecting and implant-supported partial denture. It’s going to rely solely on the implants that you have placed within your mouth. Otherwise, if you choose a traditional partial, it requires support from your soft tissues like your gums and palate, as well as your remaining nearby teeth.

Does It Help My Jaw Health Like Other Treatments?

Yep! As mentioned, the implants placed to support your implant partial will offer necessary stimulation to your jawbone that helps keep it safe and sound!
