Get the Perfect Fit With Implant Supported Dentures
Are your dentures slipping and sliding, making everyday tasks frustrating? Dealing with those messy pastes and goo can be such a hassle. If traditional dentures just aren't working for you and cause discomfort, implant supported dentures might be the caring solution you need. They can help you say goodbye to those worries and bring back your smile and confidence. This option combines the stability of implants with the ease of dentures, offering a secure, comfortable, and long-lasting way to enjoy life with missing teeth.
What Are Implant Supported Dentures?
Implant Supported dentures are a hybrid solution that combines the functionality of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. Instead of resting on the gums like traditional dentures, these dentures are secured to dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone.
Here’s how implant supported dentures work:
- Four or more implants are placed in the jawbone to provide a sturdy base.
- Custom dentures are then attached to the implants, offering a secure fit that doesn’t slip or shift.
- The implants fuse with the jawbone, providing long-term stability and preserving bone density.
At Bliss Dental & Orthodontics, we offer two different types of implant supported dentures:
- Bar-Retained Dentures: Bar-retained denture technology uses a custom bar across your jaw that attaches to implants, allowing dentures to clip on securely for a stable fit. Say goodbye to shifting teeth!
- Ball-Retained Dentures: Ball-retained dentures are the most stable choice. This simple ball-and-socket design helps you enjoy your day with ease. Just snap your denture onto the implant, and you won’t have to deal with uncomfortable dentures anymore!
Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures
- Improved stability: Your dentures stay firmly in place without adhesives.
- Enhanced comfort: No more gum irritation or slipping, making it easier to speak and eat with confidence.
- Prevents bone loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone deterioration that can occur with traditional dentures.
- Natural appearance: Implant supported dentures are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, improving both function and aesthetics.
The Process of Getting Implant Supported Dentures
The process of receiving implant supported dentures typically involves several steps:
Consultation
During your first visit, we’ll take a close look at your mouth and jawbone, and talk about what you want to achieve with your treatment.
Implant Placement
We will carefully place the dental implants into your jawbone. This process might take a few months and several visits, giving the implants time to bond securely with your bone.
Attachment of Dentures
Once your implants are fully in place, your custom dentures will be securely attached, offering a permanent and comfortable fit. We're here to help you feel at ease every step of the way.
Follow-up
We’ll schedule regular follow-up visits to ensure your implants and dentures are functioning correctly.
