Implant-support dentures in Florida

Overview of Implant-Supported Dentures

Compared to traditional dentures, which rest on your gums, partial denture implants are supported by dental implants that are placed into your jaw. Besides improving the look of your smile, affordable quality implant-supported dentures can help you regain the ability to enjoy your favorite foods. Implant dentures can be placed in your lower or upper jaws, and they can be fixed or removable.

What Happens During the Implant-Supported Dentures Process?

The denture implant process begins with a consultation with our dentists so the health of your teeth and gums can be evaluated. During this appointment, your dentist will discuss your options with you.

Once it’s been determined that you’re an ideal candidate for implant-supported dentures, your dentist will place the implants under your gum line during your next appointment. Some patients may only need two implants to anchor the denture, but sometimes one implant for each missing tooth is needed.

After the implants have been placed, it will take several months for them to fuse together with the surrounding bone. After that time, you’ll come in for another appointment, and the dentist will make a small incision to expose the top of the dental implants. Once the area has healed, which takes about one or two weeks, you’ll come back to our office for the final placement of your dentures.

The entire treatment process can take between five and seven months. In some cases, patients may be candidates for a one-step procedure, which allows for quicker denture placement.

What Do Implant-Supported Dentures Cost?

There are several factors that determine the cost of denture implants, such as the number of dental implants you need and the type of denture you receive. Compared to other types of dentures, affordable quality implant-supported dentures are a cost-effective solution to missing teeth, helping you regain confidence and a beautiful smile.

What Are the Advantages of Implant-Supported Dentures?

Since these types of dentures are anchored to dental implants, they don’t require adhesives to stay in place. You’ll enjoy a more secure, stable fit in comparison to regular dentures, so you won’t have to worry about your dentures slipping. Many of our patients also prefer the natural appearance of implant dentures.

How Should You Care for Your Implant-Supported Dentures?

You can brush fixed dentures the same way you would take care of your natural teeth. Our dentists also recommend scheduling regular appointments for dental exams, so your implant-supported dentures and surrounding gum tissue can be carefully examined and problems detected early.

Why Should You Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-retained dentures offer many advantages for your oral health and appearance. Since the dental implants that support the denture fuse into your jaw, your bone is better preserved. The stability of these dentures can help you go about your day with confidence, allowing you to speak and eat normally without worrying about your dentures slipping out of place.
