Implant Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a popular treatment option for edentulous patients who are looking for a more stable and permanent solution to replace their missing teeth. This treatment involves the placement of several dental implants into the jawbone, which are then used to support a custom-made denture.

Implant-supported dentures offer several advantages over traditional dentures. Because the denture is supported by dental implants, it is more stable and secure, which can significantly improve the patient’s ability to chew and speak. Implant-supported dentures also help preserve the bone density of the jaw, which can prevent the bone from deteriorating over time.

The process of getting implant-supported dentures typically involves several steps. The first step is an initial consultation with a dental professional to determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for dental implants. This may involve a comprehensive oral exam and x-rays or scans to evaluate the jawbone and surrounding tissues.

Once the patient has been deemed a suitable candidate for dental implants, the next step is the placement of the implants into the jawbone. The number of implants required will depend on various factors, such as the location and extent of the missing teeth.

After the implants have been placed, a temporary denture may be placed to allow the implants to heal and fuse with the surrounding bone tissue. Once the implants have fully healed, a custom-made denture is created to fit securely over the implants.

Implant-supported dentures require regular maintenance and care, including regular brushing and flossing, as well as routine dental check-ups and cleanings. With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last for many years, providing edentulous patients with a stable and long-lasting solution to replace their missing teeth.
