Implant-supported dentures offer a stable and comfortable solution for individuals seeking to restore their smile. At Titus Dentistry in Middletown, Indiana, Dr. Jonathan Titus and his team provide various implant-supported dentures tailored to individual needs. Below are answers to common questions about these options.
What are fixed implant-supported dentures?
Dental implants inserted into the jawbone hold fixed implant-supported dentures firmly in place. Unlike traditional dentures, the patient cannot remove them and function similarly to natural teeth. This option provides enhanced stability and eliminates the need for adhesives, offering a more natural feel and improved chewing efficiency.
Other types of implant-supported dentures can include bar-retained dentures or ball-retained dentures.
What are removable implant-supported dentures?
Overdentures, sometimes referred to as removable implant-supported dentures, are made to snap onto dental implants but may be taken off by the patient for upkeep and cleaning. They offer improved stability over conventional dentures while allowing for easier hygiene practices. This option is beneficial for patients seeking a balance between stability and convenience.
How do I choose the right type of implant-supported denture?
A number of variables, such as budget, lifestyle choices, bone density, and oral health, influence the choice of implant-supported denture. Dr. Titus will carry out a thorough assessment to assist in identifying the best choice suited to your unique requirements and objectives.

The procedure typically involves several steps:

- Denture Fabrication: Creating custom dentures that fit securely onto the implants.
