How Do Implant Dentures Work?
A traditional denture is held to your gum tissue using suction or an adhesive. Although there have been several improvements to enhance their fit, they will always have their limitations. Implant-retained dentures resolve the common complaints of a traditional prosthetic.
Four to eight implant posts are surgically placed into your jawbone to act as new tooth roots. This also secures your denture to your bone, so you’ll never need to worry about any slipping or irritation again. Not to mention, you’ll enjoy a variety of other benefits that aren’t achievable with a traditional denture.
Am I a Candidate for Implant Dentures?
If you didn’t get the results you wanted with a traditional treatment, you might be a candidate for an implant-retained denture if you have good oral and general health. You’ll still need an initial consultation to discuss your medical history and review a CT scan to ensure there aren’t any issues that may impact the success of your new smile, like bone loss or an infection. Based on the result, you may need additional treatments before your placement procedure, like periodontal therapy or bone grafting.
The Implant Dentures Procedure
The process to rebuild your smile will take several steps. After you’ve healed from any previous treatments, your implant posts are inserted into pre-determined locations. You’ll spend the next several months healing as your jawbone fuses to the posts through a process called osseointegration. Afterward, abutments are attached to each post to connect your denture.
