What are the Benefits of an Implant Denture?

In this video, Dr. John Coolican, an experienced Wilkes-Barre implant dentist, explains the advantages that come with the new standard in denture technology: dental implant-retained artificial teeth.

What are the benefits of an implant denture? Many of you may very well be wearing that regular old denture for many years, perhaps two or three decades, and you know the uncomfortableness of how it fills the roof of your mouth, perhaps causing gagging, food impaction underneath, slipping and rocking. Implant denture is held in place by mini dental implants. Many times we can remove the palate on the top of the roof of the mouth from the denture relieving the gag sensation, providing stability and eliminating the need for glues and adhesives to hold it in.
