Implant-supported dentures are usually referred to as fixed full bridges. With a normal denture, there is nothing but suction keeping them in. A fixed full bridge is sturdily anchored in place by the implants, and allows for normal eating and speaking. And because the dental implants are placed directly into your jawbone, they keep it stimulated. Without this active stimulation, the jaw bone below would start to dissolve into the body. This occurrence can result in a sunken face. Dental implants prevent this from happening. Alternately, some patients enjoy the removable aspect of dentures, but still desire the support provided by implants. Removable dentures that are supported by implants provide this option.
Getting the implants placed will likely require a couple of surgeries with our expert in tooth implants in Beverly Hills. These surgeries can take several months from which to recover.
