Whether you are already a denture wearer, or you need a partial or full denture to replace missing teeth, an implant-supported prosthetic will make your dentures more comfortable, more secure, and more natural looking replacment option for missing teeth. Traditional dentures rest on top of the gums and are held in place by suction, the muscles of your tongue and cheeks, and, if necessary, a denture adhesive. As the name implies, implant dentures are firmly held in place by dental implants.
With implant dentures from our Dublin, OH dentist, you’ll never have to worry about your dentures slipping, clicking, or falling out of your mouth. Moreover, the implants not only secure your dentures but also stimulate healthy new bone growth, so you are less likely to experience the bone deterioration that often happens to people who wear traditional dentures. Dr. Buck will determine how many dental implants are appropriate—usually two to five—depending on whether you’ll be wearing a partial or full denture.
