Implant-supported dentures offer the latest in denture stabilization through permanent implant posts, so you can enjoy treatment that improves your everyday life and minimizes the time you spend on making your prosthetics work for you. Dr. Dogra and his team provide implant dentures as a way to help patients enjoy better dental health, improved overall wellness, and enhanced quality of life.
For patients with tooth loss, implant dentures provide the following benefits:
No More Denture Paste - The goop you use to apply traditional dentures is messy and, while it may work well enough initially, wears down its grip throughout the day. Dentures that affix into implants do not require the application of paste, helping to cut down on mess and time spent on your daily oral hygiene routine.
Strong, Functional Dentures All Day Long - Because your dentures are firmly held in place by implants that are rooted in bone, you can expect that your teeth won’t slip or slide throughout the day. With implants, your dentures will be strong enough so that you can enjoy your favorite meals and won’t slip out to slur your speech.
Improved Comfort - When traditional dentures become loose, they can rub on soft tissue which causes gum irritation and discomfort. This inconvenience can be one of the many reasons why patients choose to forgo wearing their dentures in the first place. However, implant-supported dentures rest on implant posts, not on gums, so there is no painful rubbing or slipping.
As Close as Possible to your Natural Teeth - Dentures held in place with dental implants posts are the next best treatment available to having your own, real teeth. Your dentures will feel like a natural, seamless part of your smile, instead of a bulky, uncomfortable addition. With implant dentures, you can forget that you’re wearing dentures at all and enjoy having a beautiful smile.

The Long-Term Affordability of Dental Implants
As a restoration, dental implants are one of the most cost-smart choices you can make. Dental implants’ affordability in large part is due to their ability to act as independent replacement teeth that nurture better overall health. In this way, implants prevent many secondary healthy issues related to missing teeth, and keep costs for maintain the health of your smile lower over time.
Implants promote affordable maintenance of your oral health by:
Protecting Bone Health – A loss of teeth can, over time, weaken the health of the jaw bone. Natural teeth have roots that, through natural biting and chewing movement, stimulate bone so that it remains healthy. Deteriorating jaw health, however, creates a sunken-in look as bone loses stimulation and becomes thinner. Thinner bone density also weakens the position of existing tooth roots, increasing the likelihood that other teeth may loosen and need to be extracted. The traditional way to treat these issues is through surgical processes to graft donor bone to depleted areas. Dental implants are the only treatment that includes a replacement tooth root to stimulate bone health, preventing the need for additional care and protecting facial aesthetic and remaining teeth.
Preventing Damage to Teeth – Restorations like traditional dentures and standard dental bridges can work well for many, but they can also create collateral damage to teeth that requires attention, repair, restoration, and ultimately additional cost. Bridges utilize caps (or crowns) to attach replacement teeth. In placing a crown, a tooth must first be prepared – a process where much of its natural structure is removed. This process is perfectly applicable for decayed teeth that require restoration, but when placing a crown on a healthy tooth, you open the door to additional complications on compromised tooth structure below the crowns. Removable partial dentures are held in place through a metal framework that hooks over other teeth. Over time, this can damage dental enamel or encourage teeth to shift. Dental implants are the only completely independent teeth replacements that do not damage healthy enamel or soft tissue, requiring additional fees for restorations of eventually damaged teeth.
Negating Larger or Additional Restorations – Of an implants’ three main components – the post, abutment, and top prosthetics – only the prosthetic would require replacement through the course of normal wear and tear. Notwithstanding instances of health issues that prevent the implant post from bonding with jaw phone, your implant and abutment can remain in place for many years and are made to be a natural substitute for lost teeth.
