If you are tired of dentures that slip or gaps that make it hard to eat, implant-supported prosthetics are the modern solution. Unlike traditional options that sit on top of your gums, these are anchored directly into your jawbone using titanium posts that act like natural tooth roots.
Choosing Between Implant Dentures and Bridges
The main difference comes down to how many teeth you need to replace and the level of stability you want:
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These are ideal if you are missing most or all of your teeth. We typically use four to six implants to lock a full set of teeth into place. This eliminates the need for messy adhesives or frequent relines.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: If you only have a few teeth missing in a row, a bridge can be secured with as little as one or two implants. This protects your remaining natural teeth from shifting.
Because the titanium posts bond with your bone over a few months, these prosthetics stay permanently in place. You get a bite strength that feels remarkably like your original teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without worry.
