Implant-Supported Dentures

Alternative to Removable Dentures

It can be easy to forget that enjoying a delicious meal, smiling confidently, and enunciating clearly all depend on having a full set of stable, healthy teeth. However, when teeth are lost, their importance becomes all too apparent. This is why the dentists at Palmetto Family and Cosmetic Dentistry provide implant-supported dentures at their Sumter and Columbia, SC, dental offices.

While a traditional denture can make your smile look natural, it remains able to shift out of place. When implants secure the denture directly to the jaw, you can rely on your smile to function properly. To emphasize, you can eat toast, a crisp pear, or smile for a family portrait. Our dentists in Sumter and Columbia, SC can help determine if implant dentures are right for you.

Placing Implant Dentures

Our dentists can thoroughly assess your candidacy for dental implants by taking x-rays of your smile. Based on this information, they can determine how many implants you need, and where the should be placed. Once you have healed from implant surgery, we can begin creating permanent dentures that will attach to your implants and provide a comfortable, precise fit.

Many practices must refer patients to other offices in order to complete certain phases of receiving implant dentures. Fortunately, we can plan your treatment, perform surgery, and restore your implants in one convenient location.

Benefits of Implant-supported Dentures

Patients with implant dentures experience:

  • Clear enunciation: Because your dentures remain firmly in place at all times, you can speak with clarity and confidence.
  • Jawbone retention: The bone tissue in the jaw will eventually begin to shrink and change shape after teeth are lost. Implants are the only solution that can stop this from occurring, which also saves patients the hassle of constantly having to adjust their dentures.
  • Longevity: Patients who practice excellent oral hygiene and attend their six-month checkups can expect their dental implants to last the rest of their lives.
  • Fully restored chewing ability: While traditional dentures require avoiding tough, chewy, or crunchy foods, patients with implant dentures can eat anything they like without having to worry that their restorations will shift out of place.
  • Quality of life: An incomplete smile can be physically uncomfortable while taking a significant toll on your self-esteem. Dentures can help you experience greater enjoyment in your life by allowing you to speak, eat, and smile without feeling self-conscious.
