For decades, traditional removable dentures were the only option for replacing a full arch of missing teeth. Today, patients in Harleysville, Skippack, Norristown, and Eagleville have a vastly superior alternative: implant-supported dentures (also known as overdentures). At Dental Implant Studio of Montgomery, we help patients understand the dramatic differences these dental implants make.
Key Differences in Stability and Comfort:
| Feature | Traditional Dentures | Implant-Supported Dentures |
| Retention | Held in place by suction and adhesives. | Snaps securely onto 2-4 dental implants. |
| Chewing Power | Only 10-20% of natural strength; prone to slipping. | Up to 50-70% of natural strength; very stable. |
| Bone Health | Accelerates bone loss and causes facial aging. | Preserves jawbone structure due to implant stimulation. |
| Comfort | Can cause sores, rubbing, and gagging. | Significantly smaller and more comfortable. |
Implant-supported dentures are a highly popular and affordable dental implant solution for many patients from Harleysville to Norristown, offering dramatically improved confidence and function without the commitment of the fully fixed All-on-X bridge.
