Secure Your Smile with Solid and Predictable Implant Dentures
Are you tired of your conventional dentures? We understand! Although traditional dentures effectively replace teeth, they can be uncomfortable and unstable as the gums shrink. Heritage Dental provides implant-supported dentures that offer unrivaled stability and comfort for restoring smiles with extensive tooth loss. Unlike conventional dentures, implant dentures don’t slip or fall out when speaking or eating.
What are implant dentures?
Traditional dentures comprise a set of prosthetic teeth secured on a gum-colored base. Conventional dentures are anchored in place with natural suction and dental adhesives. Over time, traditional dentures tend to be unstable and uncomfortable.
Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of implants and the beauty of dentures to create the ultimate restoration. Unlike traditional implants, you don’t need an implant to replace every tooth lost. The dentist uses 4-6 implants per jaw to restore an entire arch of missing teeth. The strong titanium roots are secured in the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for your restoration.
What can I expect from implant-supported dentures?
Dr. Skovron has placed numerous implants over the years and has refined the dental implant procedure for a seamless experience. The first step is an initial exam using 3D scanning and digital X-rays. These advanced dental imaging tools allow us to visualize your jawbone to determine the optimal angle, depth, and location to place your implants.
Your implant surgery is computer-guided so that you can expect precision and ultimate comfort. After surgery, the dentist will restore your implants with a temporary denture to restore your appearance and function as your gums heal. Over the next few months, the biocompatible implants will fuse with the jawbone to become part of your dentition.
Once your implants heal, you’ll return to our office to restore your implants with a bespoke, permanent denture. This gives your new teeth immediate function and appearance. Now, you can eat, smile, and talk like you have 100% natural teeth.
What are the benefits of implant-supported dentures?
Here are the benefits of restoring your teeth with an implant-supported denture.
- Stability: Traditional dentures can slip out at inconvenient times, causing embarrassment and frustration. Implant dentures are anchored in the jawbone for improved stability and comfort.
- Speak and eat comfortably: Since implant dentures are stable, they restore your chewing and speaking ability to nearly 100%. This way, you can eat your favorite foods and speak confidently everywhere.
- Jawbone preservation: When you lose your tooth, you also lose its root, which keeps the jawbone healthy through functional stimulation. A dental implant serves the same function as the tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone to keep it healthy and strong.
- Simple maintenance: Unlike conventional dentures, implant dentures don’t require special maintenance. They can be brushed and flossed like natural teeth.
- Durability: Implant dentures can last many years with proper care. This means your new restoration will support your smile for several decades or even a lifetime!
