Implant-Supported Dentures in Rockville Centre, NY
Advances in dental technology have changed what dentures can do. With implant-supported dentures, also called implant-supported overdentures, Dr. Richman and our team can replace your missing teeth without the loose, shifting dentures of the past. The denture snaps securely onto dental implants, so you can chew comfortably, speak clearly, and stop worrying about your teeth moving.
An implant-supported denture typically needs only two to four implants, which lowers the cost and shortens treatment time compared to other full-arch options. Because so few implants are needed, many patients can avoid extensive bone grafting. The implants also stimulate your jawbone, which helps slow the bone loss that causes traditional dentures to fit worse over time. In most cases, you can wear temporary teeth while the implants heal. Once healing is complete, we attach your final denture.
Advantages of Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer benefits that traditional dentures cannot match. They stay in place while you eat, so you can enjoy foods you may have been avoiding. They remove easily for cleaning, which makes daily care simple. With fewer implants and less need for bone grafting, they are often the most cost-effective way to upgrade from traditional dentures.
