• Implant-secured dentures help wearers recover 80-90% of their normal chewing ability (as opposed to removable dentures, which only restore 10-20% normal chewing ability).
• Unlike removable dentures, implant-secured dentures will not slip or slide out and they do not require the use of special denture adhesives.
• Compared to bridges, that last an average 10-15 years, and dentures, which need readjusting and relining every few months and replacing every 3-5 years, dental implants should last a lifetime!
• Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, prompting the delivery of crucial nutrients like calcium and phosphorus that keep your jaw healthy and strong.
