What are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a revolutionary dental restoration option that combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip or require messy adhesives, implant-supported dentures are securely anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This creates a strong, stable foundation that mimics the feel and function of natural teeth, offering a long-lasting and comfortable solution for those with missing teeth.

The Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

1.

Enhanced Stability

Say goodbye to the embarrassment of slipping or shifting dentures. Implant-supported dentures, securely anchored to dental implants, allow you to speak and eat with complete confidence.

2.

Improved Comfort

No more discomfort or sore spots! Implant-supported dentures provide a comfortable, snug fit that feels natural in your mouth.

3.

Preservation of Jawbone

Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent the bone loss that can occur with missing teeth. This not only improves your facial appearance but also supports your overall oral health.

4.

Enhanced Chewing Ability

Rediscover the joy of eating! Implant-supported dentures restore your ability to chew efficiently, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of foods without worry.

Patients with Implant Overdentures report significant improvements in chewing function, speech, and overall quality of life.

The Implant-Supported Denture Process

At Gardena Dental Group, your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities throughout your entire implant-supported denture journey. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation and Treatment Planning

  1. Comprehensive Examination: Our experienced dentist in Gardena, CA, will thoroughly examine your oral health to determine if implant-supported dentures are the right option for you.
  2. Customized Treatment Plan: Based on your specific needs and goals, we will create a personalized treatment plan that outlines the steps involved in the implant-supported denture process.

Implant Placement

  1. Surgical Procedure: Our skilled dentist will surgically place dental implants into the bone. This step provides the foundation for implant-supported dentures.
  2. Healing Period: Allow time for the implants to integrate with the bone during a healing period, usually spanning a few months. This ensures the stability and success of the implants.

Denture Attachment

  1. Abutment Placement: Once the implants have fused with the jawbone, abutments (connector pieces) are attached to the implants, which will support the dentures.
  2. Custom Denture Creation: Our team will craft custom-made dentures that are designed to fit securely onto the abutments, providing a natural and comfortable feel.

Final Fitting and Follow-Up

  1. Adjustments and Final Fitment: Your implant-supported dentures will be securely attached, and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure optimal comfort and function.
  2. Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups and maintenance appointments are essential to monitor the condition of your implant-supported dentures and ensure their longevity.

Implant Overdenture FAQs

If you have any questions about Implant Overdenture, we’ve got answers.

Typically, two to four implants are used for a lower overdenture and four to six for an upper overdenture.

While not exactly like natural teeth, they provide significantly improved comfort and function compared to traditional dentures.

Proper care and maintenance of your implant-supported dentures are crucial to ensure their longevity and performance. Here are some essential steps to keep your dentures and implants in optimal condition:

Daily Cleaning Routine

  1. Brushing: Just like natural teeth, implant-supported dentures require regular brushing. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to gently clean your dentures and the gum area around the implants. This helps to remove plaque and prevent gum disease.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse your mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash to maintain oral hygiene and reduce the risk of infection. It’s also recommended to rinse your dentures after meals to remove any food particles.

Professional Care

  1. Regular Dental Check-Ups: Schedule regular check-ups with our skilled team at Gardena Dental Group. Professional cleanings and examinations are vital for monitoring the health of your gums, dentures, and implants. Our team can also address any issues early on, ensuring your dental health is maintained.
  2. Maintenance Appointments: Periodic maintenance appointments help in adjusting the fit of your dentures, ensuring they remain comfortable and functional. These visits allow us to check the integrity of the implants and abutments as well.

Additional Tips

  1. Avoid Hard Foods: While implant-supported dentures offer enhanced chewing ability, it’s best to avoid extremely hard or sticky foods that can damage your dentures or implants.
  2. Quit Smoking: Tobacco use can negatively impact the healing process of dental implants and overall oral health. If you smoke, consider quitting to improve the longevity and success of your implants.
  3. Practice Good Oral Hygiene Habits: Continue to practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing around your implants, and using a water flosser to clean hard-to-reach areas.

By following these care guidelines, you can enjoy the benefits of your implant-supported dentures for many years to come. Should you have any questions or concerns about your dentures, our experienced team at Gardena Dental Group is always here to help.

Overdentures go by a few different names, including:

  • Implant-supported dentures: This is probably the most common alternative name, and it highlights how these dentures are anchored to dental implants for a more secure fit.
  • Implant-retained dentures: Similar to “implant-supported,” this emphasizes how the implants hold the dentures in place.
  • Snap-on dentures: This refers to the way the dentures “snap” or attach onto the implants, providing a stable and comfortable fit.
