Complete dentures with implants offer an advanced solution for individuals who require full arch tooth replacement. At Pristine Dental Care, we understand the challenges associated with traditional removable dentures, and we provide expert implant-supported denture options to enhance stability, functionality, and overall oral health.
The Benefits of Complete Dentures with Implants
Complete dentures with implants offer several advantages over traditional removable dentures:
Enhanced Stability: Implants act as anchor points, securing the dentures firmly in place. This eliminates the potential for slippage or movement, providing a more stable and secure fit.
Improved Chewing Efficiency: Implant-supported dentures restore a significant amount of chewing function, allowing you to enjoy a wider range of foods without restrictions. The stability provided by the implants enhances biting force and overall chewing efficiency.
Increased Comfort: With traditional dentures, the pressure on the underlying gums can cause discomfort and sore spots. Implant-supported dentures distribute the biting and chewing forces more evenly, reducing the pressure on the gums and enhancing overall comfort.
Preservation of Jawbone: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving its structure. This helps maintain facial aesthetics and prevents the "sunken-in" appearance often associated with traditional dentures.
Improved Speech: Traditional dentures can sometimes affect speech, causing slurring or difficulty pronouncing certain sounds. Implant-supported dentures provide a more stable foundation, improving speech clarity and confidence.
Convenience and Confidence: Implant-supported dentures eliminate the need for messy adhesives or pastes, providing a hassle-free and secure tooth replacement solution. With improved stability and functionality, you can speak, eat, and smile with confidence.
The Complete Dentures with Implants Process
The process of getting complete dentures with implants typically involves the following steps:
1. Comprehensive Examination and Treatment Planning
During your initial consultation, our dental professionals at Pristine Dental Care will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan. This includes determining the optimal number and placement of implants based on your jawbone structure and specific needs.
2. Implant Placement
The dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The number of implants will depend on the individual case and the desired level of stability. Over a period of several months, the implants will integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
3. Denture Fabrication
Once the implants have fully integrated, impressions of your mouth will be taken to create custom-made dentures. These dentures will be designed to fit precisely over the implants, providing a secure and comfortable fit.
4. Denture Attachment
The dentures will be attached to the implants using a specialized attachment system. This system ensures a secure connection while still allowing for easy removal for cleaning and maintenance.
5. Follow-Up Care
Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal fit, comfort, and functionality of your implant-supported dentures.
