If you’re exploring your options for dentures in High Point, you’ve likely come across both traditional and implant-supported dentures. While both are designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile, they differ in how they function and feel.
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and are typically held in place with suction or adhesive. They’re removable and more affordable upfront, making them a popular option for many patients. However, they can sometimes shift while eating or speaking and may require adjustments over time as your jawbone changes shape.
Implant-supported dentures, on the other hand, are anchored directly to dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. This offers a more secure, stable fit and helps preserve jawbone health by stimulating the bone just like natural tooth roots. These dentures can be fixed or removable, depending on your needs, and tend to feel more natural and comfortable than their traditional counterparts.
Choosing the right option depends on your lifestyle, budget, and oral health goals. Schedule a consultation and Dr. Bray will help you find the best fit.
