Dental Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures are an effective solution for replacing missing teeth and can be either fixed or removable. This dental implant solution requires the placement of two or more implants. If a removable denture is selected, the denture will “snap” on to the implant rather than requiring the use of denture paste or adhesives. Traditional removable dentures can be taken out for cleaning at night.
This technique offers many advantages over traditional dentures. Implant supported dentures offer numerous benefits for patients seeking a permanent tooth replacement solution. Many patients choose implant dentures as the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, whether in the upper or lower jaw.
Easy to care for, this solution can simulate the look and feel of natural teeth and stay fixed in place with the implants acting as anchors. Patients will not experience the typical rocking and movement or gum irritation associated with dentures, allowing them to eat and smile confidently. Supported dentures also promote healthy gums and improved oral health. The implant supported design provides exceptional stability, eliminating discomfort and enabling patients to speak clearly and enjoy their favorite foods.
Dental implant placement can also help alleviate the sunken look that can occur with bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area around the implant. This process is called osseointegration and can also help prevent future bone loss, in the jawbone, protecting against tooth loss and maintaining facial structure. In some cases, bone grafting may be recommended to support dental implants and ensure long-term success.
Our dental implant services provide implant supported dentures tailored to each patient’s unique needs. During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health, take impressions, and determine if you are an ideal candidate for this treatment. The procedure involves placing titanium implants that heal and integrate with the jawbone over time, creating a stable foundation for your natural looking prosthetic teeth.
Whether you’re missing several teeth or need a complete restoration of your upper or lower arch, implant supported dentures can replace traditional bridges and dentures with a beautiful smile you can maintain with regular checkups and proper care.
