Tired of Slipping Dentures? Comparing Traditional Dentures to Implant-Supported Solutions

Featured Answer: Why upgrade from traditional dentures?

Implants anchor your prosthesis, reducing slipping and improving chewing. They help preserve bone and protect facial structure—delivering better function and confidence than adhesive‑dependent dentures.

Problems with Traditional Dentures

Movement and sore spots
Adhesives and dietary limits
Ongoing bone loss and changing fit

Implant-Supported Solutions

Overdentures: Removable prosthesis that snaps onto implants
Fixed full‑arch: Non‑removable bridge supported by multiple implants

E‑E‑A‑T: Full‑arch planning requires advanced surgical and prosthetic training. Dr. Fatima’s FICOI/FAAIP background supports precise outcomes.
