To understand more about the benefits of implant-supported dentures, we need to take a quick look at what happens when teeth are lost or extracted. Over time the bone that once supported the tooth is resorbed into the body, and this causes the jaw to shrink and change shape, which is why dentures have to be constantly adjusted for a tight fit. Implants are surgically inserted into the jaw and fuse with the surrounding bone to become a permanent fixture in the mouth that prevents any further bone loss. Once the implants have stabilized your dentures can be adjusted and attached to the implants to prevent them from wobbling and keep them securely in place.
