Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the full coverage of a removable or fixed denture. Instead of resting on the gums alone, the denture anchors to implants placed in the jawbone, which can mean steadier chewing, less shifting, and a more secure fit for patients who have struggled with traditional dentures.
What the Process Typically Involves
- Evaluation — a review of your jawbone and remaining teeth to determine how many implants are needed and where they should be placed.
- Bone Grafting — when the jawbone needs additional support before implants can be placed, this is available as part of our services.
- Implant Placement & Healing — implants are placed and given time to integrate with the bone before the denture is attached.
- Denture Attachment — a custom denture is fitted and secured to the implants, either as a removable overdenture or a fixed appliance.
Digital Planning Tools
- Digital X-Rays — give a clear picture of bone structure and implant sites.
- Intraoral Scanner — captures precise digital impressions for the denture and its implant attachments, without messy molds.
