Advantages of Implant Anchored Dentures
Implant anchored dentures are a good choice. Compared with conventional removable dentures, they are stronger and patients feel comfortable while wearing them.
When your dentist replaces all or most of your teeth with removable full-mouth dentures, it may feel uncomfortable, especially during the early few weeks. It’s because the way dentures are installed. They rely on suction to stay in place. That’s the reason some people don’t want to wear their dentures.
Individual implants replace each tooth individually. Despite being a better option compared to conventional implants, many people are unable to have them due to the cost.
Implant-anchored dentures offer many advantages over conventional and individual implants. You can read about some of them below.
Cheap and Convenient
Implant anchored dentures are cheaper compared to conventional and individual implants. However, the cost may vary with your individual requirements. These may include extractions, x-rays, and dental checkups.
When considering the cost for dentures, it’s important to know that Medicare doesn’t cover dentures. However, you should check with your state’s Medicare to know if some special plan with dental benefits is available.
Comfortable and Secure
They are comfortable to wear compared to traditional implants. It’s so because implant-anchored dentures don’t rely on suction to hold in place. Instead, they are anchored on permanently placed implants.

Types of Implant Anchored Dentures
When it comes to implant anchored dentures, you can choose between two types.
1- Removable Dentures
Removable implant anchored dentures are easy to snap in and out. Your dentist will place two strong titanium implants inside your jaw. The dentures will attach to these implants when you snap them in. They don’t use any adhesive to stay in place instead they make use of a small locator attachment.
Since these dentures are removable, they are easier to clean compared to permanent dentures. Additionally, they are more comfortable to wear and provide more flexibility.
2-Placing Implant Anchored Dentures
These dentures rely on implants to stay in place. Your dentist can install implant anchored dentures for lower as well as upper jaw. When a patient has lost too much of bone, these dentures are the only practical option.
Removable and permanent dentures are made of acrylic material that looks similar to your gums. Artificial teeth that will be attached to the dentures will match your natural teeth.
Implants are usually placed in the jawbone at the front. It’s due to the fact that this area has more bone as the back area of your jaw will suffer from the bone loss when you lose teeth. As a result, the front side often has more bone and makes it easy to fix implants.
At 7 Day Dental, you can regain your confidence with implant anchored dentures. We believe every patient deserves to smile again.
