Implant-Supported Dentures
Experience the Future of Dentures
We understand the importance of a stable and functional smile. Implant-supported dentures provide a reliable solution for individuals missing multiple teeth, offering both comfort and confidence. This page outlines what implant-supported dentures are, their benefits, and the process of getting them.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are removable or fixed dentures that are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This innovative solution provides enhanced stability and a more natural feel compared to traditional dentures.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
Enhanced Stability: Implant-supported dentures are securely anchored, eliminating slippage and discomfort while eating and speaking.
Bone Health Preservation: The dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.
Improved Comfort: These dentures fit more like natural teeth, reducing irritation and discomfort associated with traditional options.
Longevity: With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last many years, making them a valuable investment.
The Process of Getting Implant-Supported Dentures
1. Consultation and Planning: We will perform a thorough examination and discuss your goals. This includes X-rays and scans to evaluate your jawbone.
2. Implant Placement: If you are a suitable candidate, we will surgically place dental implants into your jawbone, usually under local anesthesia.
3. Healing Period: After the implants are placed, a healing period of a few months is required for osseointegration, during which the implants fuse with the bone.
4. Abutment Placement: Once healed, abutments will be attached to the implants to support the dentures.
5. Denture Fabrication: Impressions will be taken to create custom dentures that fit securely over the abutments.
6.Final Fitting: We will ensure that the dentures fit comfortably and securely before finalizing your treatment.
Aftercare for Implant-Supported Dentures
- Oral Hygiene: Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing your dentures and cleaning your gums and remaining teeth regularly.
- Regular Check-Ups: Schedule routine visits to monitor the condition of your dentures and overall oral health.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that could damage your dentures.
