The Advantages of Implant-Supported Dentures - California Dental Care Blog

Until the introduction of dental implants, the only option for several missing teeth was traditional dentures, which came with plenty of drawbacks. One successful and trusted solution for several missing teeth is implanted-supported dentures. Dental implant restorations have the highest success rate and help recreate the smiles cherished by many. Below, we list the key advantages of implant-supported dentures and how they could benefit you.

Top Advantages of Implant-Supported Dentures

Traditional dentures have an acrylic base that looks like the gums and a set of replacement teeth. Your dentist will fabricate the denture to fit your jawline, which is held in place by adhesives. Traditional dentures require occasional modifications as the jaw form changes. They are removable and can be cleaned outside the mouth.

Implant-supported dentures use implants embedded inside the jawbone to anchor the dentures in place. They usually are not removable without the assistance of the dentist. Some of the benefits of choosing them over regular ones include the following:

Better Stability

Implant dentures are connected to the jawbone directly, like your natural teeth. Because of this, they are more stable and allow patients to eat their favorite foods, including those that cannot be eaten with traditional dentures. The stability also enables patients to enjoy speech clarity without their dentures shifting. Implant-supported dentures make it possible to laugh and speak confidently without worrying about the dentures moving. Since the dentures are fixed, they won’t come out, reducing the risk of breaking or losing them.

Prevents Bone Atrophy

Implant dentures are much stronger and do not rub over the gums while stimulating the jawbone to help prevent atrophy. Regular dentures are not attached to any bone, so the jawbone starts to deteriorate due to the lack of stimulation. Bone shrinkage occurs, causing changes to the shape of the jaw. Regular dentures must be adjusted to fit the changes, which can be bothersome. Patients with implant-supported dentures do not have to worry about changing facial structure or smile.

Convenience

It is much easier to maintain implant-supported dentures. Patients can brush and floss as usual while keeping their regular schedule at the dentist because implant dentures can survive several years of use. Those with regular dentures must take them out for cleaning and soaking in a denture solution. There is no need for extra appointments for denture repair or adjustment.

I absolutely adore this dentistry! Everyone is so kind and friendly. They are honest and concise with their patients. They handle the new Covid procedures on top of their own exceedingly well. Their attention to detail is impeccable. They are very flexible and work with your schedule. They understand pain levels and also give advice as well on treatment for your teeth. I will continue to be a loyal customer to them. If you don't have a dentist I highly suggest this one! And if you do I still suggest this one!

The dentist Dr. Imam and staff at CA Dental are not only good at what they do, but they take their time to get the procedure right. I don’t know about you, but past dentists I have had don’t do extra x-rays to show you where exactly is the crack in your tooth or how much of the decay they drilled below the old filling they removed. This is the first time I have ever looked at the tooth after work done to it. Maybe new technology made this available in dentistry or maybe it is the attention to customer service that is the difference at CA Dental. I am definitely a happy patient with this new dentist. Happy with their competitive rates, the one stop shop select services they offer, and great bed side manner. So happy I finally switched dentists. I can’t say enough about CA Dental. They’re great.

One of the BEST dental clinic I've ever experience. First, the expertise and professional skill of the dentist, Dr.Nahreen Imam is beyond compare-2 tooth extraction in one sitting without pain whatsoever. Same positive experience goes for the front office personnel, particularly Ms. Charo. She is well versed, not only in handling the smooth functioning of the front office, but also the financial aspect. The insurance queries that patient's will always have is handled expertly and thoroughly. I highly recommend trying this dental clinic for a no pain, no worries experience. This is my experience today, April 17th year 2021. The kindess and expert care of the dental assistant Sharon is also worth mentioning and very highly commendable

I’ve been going here for years now and Dr Imam is such a joy! Everyone who works here is kind and helpful, and I always feel like I’m in good hands. I’d love to point out a couple rockstars - Lorena (hopefully I got her name spelling right) gives a killer cleaning. Efficient, thorough, talks just enough to make you feel comfortable, then focuses on her task. She really pays attention to you as the cleaning goes on. I think she’s awesome. Also have to say Dawn up front is wonderful. So sweet and kind, makes you feel at home and gets you checked in and out quickly. I definitely recommend this dental practice!

I came in here based on my friends recommendation to get invisalign treatment. I have had some crooked front teeth that really hurt my confidence since childhood. After getting treatment for 1.5 years Dr. Imam gave me a perfect smile and my confidence has never been better. I can't stop smiling now! I even sent the office a gift basket because I was so happy with their service.

Dr. Nahreen Imam and her staff are amazing!. I have never had a dentist explain to me so well about what is going on and why we need to do something about it. She did not pressure us to do anything that was not necessary which is usually the case at a lot of other places. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dentist.

Had a tooth ache that was keeping me up for multiple nights. I came in as a new patient and the team at California Dental Care discovered I had a cracked wisdom tooth. They were able to extract it within a week and I have been pain free since then.I have definitely been neglecting my teeth and going to dentist appointments my whole adult life. The team at California Dental Care, did such a good job that I routinely go now.
