Implant Supported Dentures
Having multiple missing teeth makes it difficult to chew properly, not to mention enunciate words succinctly. Missing teeth can also have a negative impact on the mouth’s structure. Dentures help replace missing teeth, let patients continue eating as they normally would and allow them to smile confidently. Unfortunately, traditional dentures may shift or move while talking or eating, which is why we offer implant-supported dentures. Patients who visit us in Pittsburgh, PA often choose to get our implant-supported dentures, called SnapTite Dentures.
SnapTite are dentures that are secured to the gums with multiple titanium post implants. The process of getting SnapTite implant-supported dentures begins with the patient visiting our office and having titanium posts implanted into their jaw bone. For each row of dentures, four implants are placed. This helps keep the dentures secure on the posts when they are worn. After the implants are healed, the dentures are fabricated and Dr. Michael Corsello shows the patient how to snap them in. That’s all there is to it!
Implant-supported dentures snap in and come out easily, though they are secure once they are snapped in. We recommend patients remove the dentures daily for proper cleaning and maintenance. They are an excellent alternative to traditional dentures or implants with crowns. Call us today at 412-367-7400 to find out more about our SnapTite implant-supported dentures.
