Implant-Supported Dentures

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?  

Implant-supported dentures are a modern dental solution that combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on your gums and rely on adhesives, these dentures are securely anchored to dental implants surgically placed into your jawbone.  

Here’s how they work:

• The Implants act as sturdy, long-lasting anchors, similar to natural tooth roots.  
• The Denture is custom-made and designed to clip onto the implants, providing a secure and comfortable fit.  

This combination creates a dental restoration that offers increased stability and an appearance much closer to natural teeth.  

Are Implant-Supported Dentures Right for You?  

You might wonder if Implant-Supported Dentures are the best solution for your dental situation. Here’s a quick checklist of who could benefit most from this treatment option:

• Those who experience frequent issues with traditional dentures, such as slipping or discomfort.  
• Patients are looking for a more natural appearance and feel than conventional dentures can offer.  
• Individuals who have sufficient jawbone health to support dental implants.  
• Anyone looking for a permanent, hassle-free solution for missing teeth.  

During a consultation at Exquisite Smiles, Dr. Tyler Phelan or Dr. James Phelan will thoroughly assess your oral health, including high-end X-ray imaging, to determine if this is the right treatment.

Understanding the Process  

Getting Implant-Supported Dentures is straightforward and carefully planned to ensure comfort and long-term results. Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Consultation  

During your first visit, we’ll discuss your goals and perform a detailed evaluation, including advanced 3D X-ray imaging to assess the health of your jawbone.

Implant Placement  

Dental implants are strategically placed into your jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Don’t worry—local anesthesia and our team’s gentle care will ensure your comfort throughout.

Healing and Osseointegration  

The implants will fuse naturally over the next few months with your jawbone in osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation for your dentures.

Custom Denture Fabrication  

Once the implants are secure, your custom-tailored dentures match your mouth’s structure perfectly, ensuring optimal fit and aesthetic appeal.

Attachment of Dentures  

Finally, the dentures are clipped onto the implants, creating a stable, functional smile.

Throughout the process, our team at Exquisite Smiles will be by your side, ready to answer any questions and ensure your experience remains stress-free and smooth.

Caring for Your Implant-Supported Dentures  

After receiving your Implant-Supported Dentures, proper aftercare is essential to maximize their durability and maintain oral health. Here are simple tips to follow:

• Brush twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean around the implants.  
• Use interdental brushes or floss recommended by your dentist for cleaning hard-to-reach areas.  
• Attend regular check-ups at Exquisite Smiles to monitor the health of your implants and dentures.  
• Avoid harmful habits like chewing on hard objects (ice or pens) that could damage dentures.  

With the right care, implant-supported dentures can last many years and keep your smile healthy and functional.

Life-Changing Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures  

The advantages of upgrading from traditional dentures to Implant-Supported Dentures go beyond functionality. Here’s how they can elevate your lifestyle:

• Improved Stability – Say goodbye to slipping dentures. Implant-supported dentures lock in place, giving you the confidence to laugh, speak, and eat without worry.  
• Enhanced Comfort – These dentures eliminate gum irritation caused by loose fits and adhesives, ensuring everyday comfort.  
• Natural Appearance – Custom-designed dentures blend seamlessly with your mouth’s appearance. You’ll love how natural and vibrant your smile looks.  
• Healthier Jawbone – Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss, a common issue with traditional dentures.  
• Long-Term Savings – With proper care, this durable solution reduces the need for frequent denture replacements.
