IMPLANT-SUPPORTED DENTURES
A Secure, Comfortable Alternative to Traditional Dentures – Weston Family Dental Center
If you’re tired of the slipping, discomfort, and daily hassle of traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures may be the ideal solution. At Weston Family Dental Center in Weston, FL, Dr. Pratik Patel offers implant-supported dentures to help patients regain the stability, function, and confidence of a complete smile—without the bulkiness or mess of adhesives.
Unlike removable dentures that rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures are anchored to the jaw using titanium dental implants, which function like artificial tooth roots. These implants prevent your dentures from shifting during meals or conversations and help preserve your jawbone by stimulating natural bone growth through the osseointegration process.
