Secure Your Smile with Implant Dentures
Implant-supported dentures utilize a set of implants to securely hold the denture in place within your mouth. Numerous individuals who wear dentures often experience issues such as slippage, discomfort, and an unnatural appearance. To address these concerns, we can place multiple implants and create an overdenture that easily snaps onto them. This overdenture offers a fantastic solution to restore your smile and eliminate the need for creams, gels, and adhesive strips that you may have relied on for years.
Why use Implant Supported Dentures?
Having an ill-fitting denture is a common issue that can be caused by factors such as weight gain, weight loss, and aging. If you find yourself relying on strips and adhesive gels to keep your denture in place, it's time to consider a more effective solution. Implant-supported dentures are a great alternative because the implants are permanent, eliminating the need for frequent replacements.
Who qualifies for Implant Supported Dentures?
In order to assess your eligibility for implant-supported dentures, we will carefully evaluate your oral condition and examine your current dentures. This assessment will help us determine whether implants would be beneficial for you. If you have experienced bone loss, it may affect the healing process of the implants. In such cases, we suggest considering bone grafting before proceeding with any implant placement.
What happens during implant-supported denture placement?
During your consultation appointment, we will discuss the sedation or anesthetic options available for your comfort during the procedure. Following that, we will make incisions through the gums and carefully insert the long, thin implant deep into the jawbone. The healing process typically takes three to six months, depending on your individual healing ability. Once the implants have healed, we will create a removable overdenture for you using impressions. This denture will securely snap in place over the new implants.
