Dental implants have become so popular these days, not only because they look so natural but also because they are so versatile. They replace the whole tooth structure, including the root, so they are as close to natural teeth as possible in form, function, and appearance. Dentures that are conventionally made are not ideal for real teeth, which is why dental implants are a blessing for denture wearers.  

Benefits
In comparison to conventional dentures, implant-supported dentures have many advantages, including:

1. Stability: Traditionally, dentures move out of place. On the other hand, implant-retained dentures are firmly anchored onto the jaw by a small titanium post. These posts or implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone and therefore provide a level of stability and security that cannot be matched with adhesives or clasps.
2. Easier to bite, chew, and speak: Since dentures are held in place tightly, patients can bite, chew, and speak with ease as they did when they had their natural teeth. 
3. Look like real teeth: Implant retained dentures give a more natural look than conventional dentures because they are secured beneath the gum line instead of on top.
4. Halt bone loss: When teeth are lost, the surrounding bone and soft tissue begin to wither because they are not being used. A conventional denture cannot prevent this from occurring. In contrast, dentists use techniques to halt bone loss in the same way as a natural tooth root to stop bone loss and stimulate the growth of new bone and soft tissues.

Overdentures, also called implant-retained dentures, is the closest you can come to having real teeth in your mouth. As a result, patients are more confident and can smile and speak with more ease. Additionally, they can eat whatever they like and enjoy a more diverse diet.
