Implant supported dentures are a type of overdenture securely attached to dental implants embedded in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, these restorations are anchored directly, providing a fixed and stable foundation for your replacement teeth. This design allows for improved function and confidence.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination, including digital imaging, to assess your oral health and bone structure. We will discuss your goals and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This stage ensures that implant-supported dentures are the right solution for you.
During this surgical phase, titanium dental implants are precisely placed into your jawbone. These small, biocompatible posts act as artificial tooth roots, providing a sturdy anchor for your future dentures. We ensure your comfort throughout the procedure with appropriate anesthesia.
Following implant placement, a healing period of several months is necessary for osseointegration, where the implants fuse with your jawbone. This crucial step establishes a strong and lasting foundation for your new dentures. Temporary restorations may be provided during this time.
Once your implants have fully integrated, custom dentures are fabricated to fit comfortably and aesthetically with your smile. These dentures are then securely attached to the implants using special connectors. You will leave with a functional and beautiful set of teeth.
