What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Traditional dentures offer a cost-effective, time-tested solution for replacing a complete arch of missing teeth. However, they often shift or slip out of place when you eat, speak, or smile, especially when it comes to the lower arch. 

Implant-supported dentures, also known as overdentures, offer a superior alternative to traditional dentures, providing unmatched stability, function, and durability. These removable implant restorations snap onto as few as two dental implants per arch, giving you the confidence that they will not move out of place at the most awkward times. 

What Is the Implant-Supported Denture Process?

Your implant-supported dentures process will begin with a consultation, during which Dr. McGuire will evaluate your unique needs and create a custom treatment plan to restore your complete smile. If you have bone loss in the area that interferes with the success of your implants, our experienced dentist may recommend rebuilding the bone with a bone graft to ensure you have the needed foundation to support your implants. 

Before placing your implants, Dr. McGuire will numb the area using a local anesthetic for your comfort. If needed, you can also opt for nitrous oxide or oral sedation to help you feel calm and relaxed during treatment. Once you are ready, Dr. McGuire will place several screw-shaped titanium posts strategically in your jawbone to support your overdentures. 

Over the following few months, your implants will integrate with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration, helping provide a secure and stable foundation to support your dentures. We will place temporary dentures while waiting for your mouth to heal. The last step is placing your final restorations, which will blend seamlessly with your smile. 

What Are the Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures offer numerous benefits, including the following: 

• They are anchored to your jawbone, providing stability comparable to natural teeth.
• They act like natural tooth roots, stimulating your jawbone, helping prevent bone loss. 
• They restore the ability to chew and enjoy the foods you love with comfort. 
• They help you speak more clearly and confidently. 
• They support your facial structure, maintaining your natural contours.
• They will not require adjustments or relining, as do traditional dentures.  
• They can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
