While dentures are an affordable way to replace a large number of teeth, there are certain disadvantages to this type of restoration. Because they rest on the gums and rely on suction and dental adhesive to stay in place, dentures often move around in the mouth when patients chew or speak. The resulting lack of security often leaves patients feeling uncomfortable when eating or smiling in social situations. Some patients find dentures affect the way they speak, as well, as punctuating their words with clicking and other noises that interfere with conversation.

In contrast, implant-supported dentures are attached to small titanium posts, which are in turn embedded in the jawbone. Consequently, you do not have to worry about your restoration sliding around. Dental implants provide unparalleled stability and security for large restorations, allowing you to move through the world with confidence.
