How do dental implant supported teeth differ from a conventional prosthesis? Compared to a conventional prosthesis,dental implant supported teeth Function, look and feel like natural teeth. Allow you to speak, smile and eat with confidence. They are comfortable and stay in place unlike removable denture .Dental Implants Do not need other teeth for support and do not require "cutting down" or preparation of other teeth. When a single tooth is missing, the two most common treatment options are the traditional tooth supported bridge, when a traditional bridge is used to replace a missing tooth, the adjacent teeth are cut down to pegs in order to fit the cemented bridge in place. This method of tooth replacement can be very esthetic and functional for a period of time. However, a tooth supported bridge does not help maintain the bone that surroundes the root. Since there is no longer a root to hold the bone in place, the bone deteriorates, or melts away. There are many advantages to replacing a single missing tooth with an dental implant supported crown: It looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth It is much more esthetic long term It does not decay There is no need to grind down the adjacent natural teeth The bone is preserved, preventing a visible bony defect It is more hygienic (easier to clean) than a tooth supported bridge

Replacing Multiple Missing Teeth
When more than one tooth is missing, there are three common treatment options: the traditional tooth supported bridge, a removable partial denture and an dental implant supported bridge. In this situation the benefits of dental implant supported teeth are even more obvious. A removable prosthesis, such as a partial denture, actually accelerates the bone melting process, resulting in more rapid bone deterioration. In addition, the clasps which hold the partial denture in place put extreme pressure on the natural teeth they hook onto, loosening them and in many cases, eventually leading to the loss of those teeth. Most patients with partial dentures state that they are uncomfortable and that they rarely wear them. The advantages of replacing multiple missing teeth with dental implant supported bridges include the following: They look feel and function like natural teeth They are much more comfortable and stable than partial dentures Natural biting and chewing capacity is restored They virtually stop the bone resorption process (deterioration) The integrity of the facial structures is maintained Adjacent natural teeth are not compromised (ground down to pegs or loosened)

Replacing all of the Teeth
In the past, people missing all of their teeth had no option but dentures. A Denture has numerous disadvantages, such as: Dentures are uncomfortable and often painful Dentures do not look natural, especially when eating As the bone continues to melt away, the dentures become loose, and can fall out when laughing, sneezing, or coughing without the use of adhesives People without their teeth and supporting bone visibly age much faster Wearing dentures usually undermines a person's self confidence (they have missing body parts and do not feel complete or natural) People with dentures cannot eat certain foods, such as steak, corn on the cob and apples People with dentures generally have bad breath These problems can be solved with dental implant supported replacement teeth, which are stable (securely fastened to the implants) and maintain the integrity of the facial structures by preserving the bone. Some of the many advantages of dental implant supported teeth include the following: They are more comfortable and stable than traditional dentures They virtually stop the bone resorption process (deterioration) Integrity of the facial structures is maintained Appearance is improved It is not necessary to cover the roof of the mouth, so food can be tasted Relines and repairs are infrequent compared to traditional dentures. Natural biting and chewing capacity is restored with several options that exist to replace the teeth that missing such as overdentures . There are two types of overdentures :

Ball and socket Overdenture
This type of dental implant supported prosthesis is held in place by ball attached on top of the dental implants and a socket inside the denture most dentures can be retrofitted or a new denture to better adapt to the ridge and ball attachments.

Bar Overdenture
This dental implant supported prosthesis utilizes the stability of a bar that is attached to the dental implants and supports the denture in a more rigid fashion than the ball and socket and more retentive, this type of restoration requires more dental implants then the ball and socket.
