Find Security and Comfort With Implant-Supported Dentures

Dentures have come a long way over the past few decades, and one of the better options is implant-supported dentures. Implant-supported dentures feel more natural than traditional dentures and offer other advantages. Avero Dental in Kitchener, Ontario, can perform implant-supported denture procedures, allowing you to smile and eat as you did before losing teeth.

The Differences in Dentures

The crucial difference between implant-supported dentures and traditional dentures is that implant-supported dentures are a permanent fixture in your mouth. Traditional dentures are taken out for cleaning every night.
There is another variation of implant-supported dentures in which the dentures snap onto implants, allowing easy removal for cleaning.

Cleaning Dentures

Clean removable dentures by rinsing them under lukewarm water after meals to remove food debris.
Implant-supported dentures are cleaned much like your natural teeth. The difference is the type of cleaning paste used. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, just like you would for your natural teeth, and a non-abrasive toothpaste to brush both the tooth surfaces and along the gum line.
Use dental floss, special implant floss, or a threader to complete the cleaning. Carefully clean between the denture teeth, around abutments, around locator caps, and under bars.

How Implant-Supported Dentures Differ from Dental Implants

Dental implants are devices used to replace single teeth. Implant-supported dentures include partial dentures and full denture sets. Both versions are customised to fit your mouth and gums with teeth matching natural teeth in shape, size, and colour.

How many implants are needed?

Commonly two to four for a lower denture and four or more for an upper. The number depends on your bone and the design we choose.

Can I take them out?

Some designs snap in and out for cleaning, others are fixed and removed only by the dentist. We will explain the trade offs.

Will they help me eat better?

Most patients find biting and chewing significantly easier than with conventional dentures, and can return to foods they had given up.
