They are better in terms of functionality and aesthetics.
You will be able to function better as you donot have to rely on denture adhesive to aid in retention.
The major con is they are expensive byt worth the money!!!
The biggest benefit is denture retention. They stay in. If you opt for removable implant-supported dentures, they will snap to special attachments on the implants. They are very secure, but the snap portion in the denture has a silicon ring that will need to be replaced from time to time because of wear. If you opt for fixed, non-removable implant-supported dentures, you cannot remove them. Your dentist will determine how often they need to be removed professionally. It is a bit of a lengthy process, but necessary to determine how well you are cleaning them and how healthy the gums and implants are under the dentures. Implant-supported dentures give you confidence that your dentures will not slip. Since they don't move, they are more comfortable. They do not cause sore spots. They are usually smaller than conventional dentures and the palate is usually open and not covered. For some patients that is especially necessary due to gagging problems. Michael A. Conrad, DDS, PC
The biggest benefit is the fact that they will stay put and will not be dislodged while you're chewing also you would not require the use of adhesive paste. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> Sent using Microsoft Dictation
The most important health benefit of implant-supported dentures is the stimulation they provide to the jawbone. When tooth roots are missing, the jawbone will shrink unless an alternative form of stimulation is provided. Dental implants halt bone atrophy, helping your jaw to maintain its shape and strength.
