Finding a dentist near you who can provide you with implant-supported dentures in Concord, MA, can make a huge difference. At Concord Woods Dental Group, most of our patients are familiar with implants, bridges, and dentures. The difference between regular dentures and implant-supported dentures, however, is huge.

Regular Dentures

Regular dentures are used to replace missing teeth. They can replace a few consecutive missing teeth or an entire row. They’re preferred by many people because they’re removable. Dentures that are used to replace a few missing teeth usually attach to surrounding healthy teeth using metal clasps.

On the other hand, regular dentures that are used to replace entire rows often attach through suctioning. Regular dentures are removable. Patients take them off before going to bed and put them back on in the morning. One of the main issues of regular dentures is that they can fall off and aren’t very durable.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures can replace entire rows of teeth. Instead of attaching through suctioning, an implant-supported denture relies on screws. These are the same screws found in implants. Instead of using a single screw with a crown to replace a missing tooth, we can place multiple screws in the jawbone. These screws are used to support the denture and keep it in place.

No doubt, using titanium screws rather than other mechanisms like suctioning is more effective at stabilizing dentures. Patients need to understand that implant-supported dentures are permanent, unlike regular dentures. You won’t be able to remove your implant-supported dentures.

The only way to remove implant-supported dentures is by going to the dentist’s office. Implant-supported dentures are more durable and last longer than regular dentures.
