The Benefits of Implant Dentures
In this video, Dr. Robert Harvey discusses the benefits of implant-supported dentures over traditional ones, focusing on enhanced comfort and the ability to taste food.
One significant benefit of implant-supported teeth over conventional dentures is the enhancement in comfort and functionality that they offer. Traditional dentures rely on a large palate section that creates a suction effect to keep them in place. This design can be problematic because the suction can easily break, leading to dentures that may slip or fall out.
With implant-supported dentures, the structure of the denture is modified to improve the overall experience. Notably, the palate portion is eliminated because it is no longer necessary for retention. The implants provide a secure snapping mechanism that holds the dentures firmly in place without relying on suction. This change not only enhances comfort by reducing the amount of material in your mouth but also significantly improves your ability to taste food. By removing the palate, implant-supported dentures open up the taste buds, allowing for a more enjoyable eating experience. This modification marks a departure into a completely different world of dental prosthetics, focusing on both functionality and patient satisfaction.
