Who Is A Candidate For Implant Supported Dentures?

Implant supported dentures in Mount Prospect, IL, also known as overdentures, are a restorative tooth replacement option. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant supported dentures are supported by and attached to dental implants — typically titanium posts surgically fixed in the patient’s jawbone. 

There are various factors that can determine a person’s candidacy for implant supported dentures. Continue reading to learn more about what makes people candidates for implant supported dentures. 

What Makes Me A Candidate For Implant Supported Dentures In Mount Prospect, IL?

Ideal candidates for implant-supported dentures are individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth, but still have enough jawbone density to support the dental implants. People should also be in good general health, as surgery is required to place the dental implants. Those with chronic diseases, like diabetes or heart disease, may need to get treated with additional procedures before they can become a candidate for implant supported dentures. 

Candidates for implant supported dentures should also no longer want to deal with traditional dentures. Traditional dentures are not designed to last forever and may need to be regularly realigned and adjusted as the patient’s jawbone shrinks from a lack of stimulation. Implant supported dentures, on the other hand, are secured to the patient’s mouth with dental implants, stimulating their jawbone and giving them a long-lasting new smile.

How Do Implant Supported Dentures In Mount Prospect, IL Benefit My Smile?

After becoming a candidate for and getting treated with implant supported dentures, they can benefit the patients smile in a variety of ways. For starters, implant supported dentures give patients a comfortable new smile. This is because two or more dental implants are used to secure the denture in their mouth. With the denture securely in place, patients don’t have to worry about their new smile slipping out or causing them discomfort. 

The dental implants in an implant supported denture procedure are not just securely placed in the patient’s jawbone, they stimulate it like a natural tooth root. Through stimulation, implant supported dentures keep the patient’s jawbone strong and healthy. With a strong and healthy jawbone, patients won’t have to worry about jawbone resorption or having an aged looking appearance.  

By upgrading their smile with implant supported dentures, patients will be able to maintain a normal diet, speak clearly, and be confident in their new and improved smile.
