Implant-Supported Bridges and Dentures In Centreville VA
As dental implants become more widely used, the number of ways they can be utilized increases. They are not just for individual tooth replacement any more. Now, they are often used to support either bridges or dentures.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Utilizing dental implants as supports for bridges means that we do not need to file down any healthy teeth for a bridge. Normally, we would be reshaping teeth on either side of a gap, meaning that our patient would lose a considerable amount of healthy tooth tissue. Using dental implants to support a bridge eliminates this step.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures with implants strategically placed improves a patient’s experience with dentures. Patients report the following improvements:
- No more slipping dentures
- They can finally eat chewy or crunchy foods
- Their gums don’t develop sore spots
- These dentures don’t require adhesives
- The patient can speak more clearly
For tooth replacements, implant-supported dentures offer a superior result. Please talk to us if you need to replace missing teeth.
