Implant Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer a stable and comfortable solution for patients who have lost multiple teeth or an entire arch of teeth. Unlike conventional dentures that rest primarily on the gums, implant-supported dentures are secured to dental implants placed within the jawbone, helping provide greater stability when eating, speaking, and smiling. Implant-supported dentures can be used to replace missing teeth while providing a more secure alternative to traditional removable dentures. Depending on your individual needs, the dentures may be removable for cleaning or designed as a fixed implant-supported restoration.
What you can expect
Your implant-supported denture journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, and jawbone. Digital imaging may be used to evaluate your bone structure and help determine the most suitable positions for your dental implants.
Depending on your individual circumstances, your dentist may recommend placing a number of dental implants to provide support for your denture. Once the implants have healed and integrated with the surrounding jawbone, your custom-made denture can be attached to the implants.
Your dentist will explain each stage of treatment, expected healing times, maintenance requirements, and available options before treatment begins.
