Screw-Retained Dentures/Arches
If you’re looking for a stable, long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures, our dental implant dentists in Lexington, KY, offer implant-supported dentures designed to restore your smile with exceptional comfort and function. Unlike removable dentures that rest on the gums, attach to titanium posts placed in the jawbone. These posts act like natural tooth roots, preventing slippage and providing the strength needed for confident chewing and speaking.
How Do Screw-Retained Dentures Improve Comfort and Stability?
Implant-supported dentures eliminate many of the frustrations associated with traditional dentures. Since they are anchored to implants, they won’t shift, wobble, or require adhesives. This increased stability allows you to enjoy a wider range of foods and speak clearly without worry. Patients often describe them as feeling more natural, secure, and comfortable than conventional options.
Are Screw-Retained Dentures Better for Jawbone Health?
Yes—one of the biggest advantages is their ability to preserve jawbone density. When teeth are missing, the jawbone naturally deteriorates over time. Dental implants stimulate the bone just like natural roots, helping prevent bone loss and facial collapse. This support keeps your facial structure looking youthful and enhances the long-term fit of your denture.
What Is the Process for Getting Screw-Retained Dentures?
The treatment typically involves an initial consultation, placement of the , healing time for the bone to integrate with the implant posts, and the attachment of your custom denture. Many patients qualify for same-day temporary teeth so they never go without a smile during treatment.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Screw-Retained Dentures?
Ideal candidates are those with multiple missing teeth who want a more secure, functional solution than traditional dentures. Adequate jawbone health is beneficial, but bone grafting may be an option for patients with bone loss.
