Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a popular choice for many patients who want to improve their smiles and oral health. They can be used to replace either all of the teeth in a mouth or just a few. They can also help restore bite function and increase the food options available to you, so you can enjoy all your favorite foods.

How Do They Work?

Unlike traditional implant supported denture Aberdeen MS, which use adhesives to secure them in place, implant supported dentures attach to dental implants placed in your jaw bone. This allows you to chew and speak comfortably without the fear of the denture coming loose, slipping out of place, or causing discomfort.

Your dentist will need to confirm your eligibility for this treatment and determine the number of implants needed, which varies depending on how many teeth are missing and whether or not you have enough jawbone density to support dental implants. Then, we will place the implants and allow them to heal and integrate with your jawbone.

Once the implants are in place, your dentist will make and fit your new denture. We have two main types of attachment mechanisms, bar-retained and ball-retained, both of which are designed to look and feel natural. The base of your new denture will be made to match the color of your gums and your artificial teeth will be attached to this base.

The process for placing your new denture will be similar to that of a regular denture, but it will be slightly more complicated due to the fact that we will need to place implants instead of adhesives. Your doctor will need to take X-rays and impressions of your teeth, gums, and jaw bones to ensure that the final product is comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

In addition, your doctor will need to take a CT scan to identify the location of nerves and sinus cavities. This will allow us to design the denture, as well as determine how to best position the implants so that your denture fits correctly and securely.

How Long Do They Last?

If you decide to get implant-supported dentures, they can last a lifetime if you care for them properly and maintain good oral hygiene. You should brush your gums and tongue twice a day, floss daily, and have routine check-ups and cleanings to keep them healthy.

Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?

Ultimately, the benefits of implant supported denture Aberdeen MS far outweigh the disadvantages. They provide a secure and comfortable fit, restore bite function, improve the taste and mouthfeel of your foods, and eliminate bone loss. In addition, they can also make it easier to eat a wide variety of foods and can boost your confidence in your appearance.

Your Doctor Can Create a Custom Denture for You

After your initial consultation, we will need to take X-rays, impressions of your teeth and gums, and scans to create models of your bone structure. We will then design your denture to match these models. We will also create a temporary denture until we are ready to place your permanent one. This is a great way for you to try out your new denture, and it can be helpful in determining the best possible placement of your final implant-supported denture.
