Implant Supported Dentures Process
Our implant supported dentures process is designed to meet your smile goals, while improving the functional and health concerns that accompany missing teeth or denture wear. Our areas of specialty lie both with providing technology-guided implant placement and crafting a custom and aesthetic restorations. After a comprehensive examination and x-rays, we begin your implant supported dentures process by completing any preliminary procedures, including tooth extractions or bone grafting. When a strong, stable foundation is able to support dental implants, we place two or more in your jaw using advanced surgical guides to ensure the highest level of precision. Next we meticulously design your new denture or prosthesis, and once you are satisfied with the restoration, our accredited partner dental lab will create your new denture. When ready, we will attach your new set of teeth to your dental implants and you will walk out of our office with a beautiful, functional new smile!
Why Do Patients Choose Implant Supported Dentures?
Implant supported dentures significantly improve the stability of dentures, especially on the lower arch, solving many problems associated with removable dentures, including slipping, clicking, loosening, or falling out. Aesthetically, our custom restorations or dentures look and feel like natural teeth secured in lifelike artificial gum tissue. Functionally, dental implants provide stimulation to the jaw bone and give dentures the strength and stability to withstand normal biting and chewing pressure without shifting around. Overall, implant supported dentures provide you with an enhanced quality of life from a secure, aesthetic smile that is uniquely yours!
