Implant-supported dentures are a type of denture attached to dental implants, which act as anchors for the artificial teeth. The dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and then allowed to fuse with the bone over several months. Once the implants have fully integrated into the jawbone, they provide a sturdy and stable foundation for the dentures to be attached to.
- Increased Stability: One of the main advantages of implant-supported dentures is their superior stability compared to traditional dentures. Dental implants act as anchors, eliminating the risk of slipping or shifting, commonly associated with conventional dentures. This allows for a more comfortable and secure fit, making it easier to eat and speak without any concerns.
- Better Aesthetics: We customize implant-supported dentures to closely resemble natural teeth, giving you a more natural-looking smile. They also help preserve your face’s natural shape, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with traditional dentures.
- Improved Oral Health: Dental implants help to stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and deterioration. This helps to maintain the structure of your face and prevents any changes in your bite. Implant-supported dentures also do not require adhesives or pastes, which can often cause irritation and discomfort in the mouth.
- Long-Lasting: With proper care and maintenance, implant-supported dentures can last for many years, making them a cost-effective option in the long run. They also do not require frequent adjustments or replacements like traditional dentures, saving you time and money.
Our experienced and skilled team will guide you through getting implant-supported dentures. It typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, we will assess your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for implant-supported dentures. We will also discuss your treatment goals and address any concerns or questions you may have.
- Implant Placement: If you are deemed a suitable candidate, our team will schedule the surgical placement of the dental implants. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
- Healing Period: After placing the implants, they need time to integrate into the jawbone. This process, known as osseointegration, can take several months to complete.
- Attachment of Dentures: Once the implants fully integrate with the jawbone, we will attach your customized dentures. Our team will ensure a perfect fit and make any necessary adjustments for your comfort.
