The Implant-Supported Denture Process

The most important part of receiving implant-supported dentures is seeing Dr. Patel for an examination and jawbone scan to see if it has enough density to support the dentures. While deciding if it is dense enough, he will also determine exactly where the implants will need to be placed to provide maximum support.

Before implant placement, Dr. Patel will work closely with you to develop certain details of your customized dentures. Each set of dentures at Thayer Dental Care are created personally for each patient’s wants and needs. 

Four implants will then be surgically placed into your jawbone in the designated areas. The bone will grow around each implant as it heals, sealing it into place providing more support. Before your dentures can be attached to the implants, the bone and surrounding tissues must heal completely. This will prevent any pain or other issues from arising after denture placement. 

Once healed, Dr. Patel will fit your dentures and permanently place them onto the implants. Caring for your implant-supported dentures is easy; brush and floss as you usually would. 

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Renewing your smile is an integral part of your life, so it’s essential to make the right decision when deciding on treatment. Please read all the significant benefits of implant-supported dentures below to see why they are the best option for you. 

Stability

Implant-supported dentures, unlike ordinary dentures, are attached to the jaw bone directly, just like natural teeth. This implies you can stop eating solely soft meals and start eating any foods you like. Traditional dentures also tend to slip out of place, making it difficult to communicate clearly. Speaking clearly and slippage won’t be a worry with implant-supported dentures. 

Bone Atrophy Prevention

One of the major benefits of implant-supported dentures is that they stimulate the jaw bone, preventing atrophy. When there is a lack of stimulation due to missing teeth, the bone will start to deteriorate. Dental implants help your jaw maintain its shape and strength.

Beautiful Smile

Each set of dentures is completely fabricated to fit your mouth in every way while bringing extra beauty. Dentures are made out of artificial teeth and gums that present almost exactly to natural teeth and tissues. Each tooth is created with porcelain making it have a pearly white sheen.
