Implant Supported Dentures

Rediscover Your Self-confidence with Implant-Supported Dentures at Espire Dental in Casper, WY

If you're living with several missing teeth, needing a total replacement, or your traditional dentures don't feel secure, implant-supported dentures at Espire Dental Casper offer a reliable, long-lasting solution. Unlike conventional dentures that can shift or slip, implant-supported dentures are anchored directly to dental implants, providing a stable, comfortable fit that restores function and confidence. This solution is a significant improvement over traditional dentures, which can feel loose or uncomfortable without proper adhesion. With over a decade of experience serving the Casper community, we’re here to help you achieve a natural-feeling smile that makes you feel like the best version of yourself.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?

If you're currently using traditional dentures but struggle with discomfort, slippage, or difficulty eating certain foods, implant-supported dentures may be the ideal solution. This option is also perfect for anyone with multiple missing teeth or seeking a more permanent alternative to traditional dentures. Candidates typically need sufficient jawbone density to support the implants, which will be evaluated during your consultation.

If you've experienced bone loss over time, don't worry—options are still available! Our team may recommend bone grafting to ensure a stable foundation for your implants. Patients from East Casper to Evansville and surrounding areas have found life-changing results with implant-supported dentures.

When restoring your smile with implant-supported dentures, you're in exceptional hands with Dr. Larissa Tolley at Espire Dental Casper. Dr. Tolley’s extensive experience in dentures and implant-supported restorations ensures that patients receive personalized, top-quality care throughout the entire process.

Implant-supported dentures offer a range of benefits that can improve both oral health and overall quality of life, including:

  • Improved Stability: Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures stay securely in place, providing better stability when speaking, eating, or smiling.
  • Comfortable Fit: Since the dentures are anchored to implants, they fit comfortably without rubbing against your gums, reducing the irritation that often comes with traditional dentures.
  • Better Bone Health: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent the bone loss that can occur with missing teeth. This maintains the structure of your face and jaw over time.
  • Enjoy Your Favorite Foods Again: With implant-supported dentures, you can eat a wider variety of foods—like apples, steak, or nuts—without fear that your dentures will slip or become loose.
  • Long-Term Durability: Dental implants are made of titanium, a material that integrates with your bone and can last a lifetime with proper care. With regular checkups and good oral hygiene, implant-supported dentures offer long-lasting results.

Patients in Casper who enjoy active lifestyles, social events, and hanging out at hot spots like the Casper Country Club, East Ridge Mall, or Wyoming Fairgrounds often find that implant-supported dentures provide them with the security and confidence to fully enjoy life without worrying about their smile.

Implant-Supported Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures

While traditional dentures can offer an affordable solution to tooth loss, they often come with challenges like discomfort, slippage, and dietary restrictions. For patients in Casper, implant-supported dentures provide a more stable and reliable alternative. Here’s how they compare:

  • Security & Convenience: Traditional dentures rest on your gums and require adhesives, while implant-supported dentures are fixed in place, providing superior stability.
  • Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss over time, whereas traditional dentures do not engage the bone, leading to potential shrinkage of the jaw.
  • Comfort: Implant-supported dentures eliminate much of the discomfort caused by traditional dentures, as they don’t rub against the gums or shift during the day.

How long do implant-supported dentures last?

With proper care, the implants themselves can last a lifetime, and the dentures attached to them typically last 10-15 years before needing adjustment or replacement.

Does the implant procedure hurt?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the implant procedure. We use local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for added comfort. Recovery is typically smooth, with only mild soreness afterward.

Can I still get implant-supported dentures if I have bone loss?

In some cases, yes. If you have significant bone loss, we may recommend a bone graft to strengthen your jawbone before placing the implants.

How do I care for implant-supported dentures?

Caring for implant-supported dentures is easy—just brush and floss them like natural teeth! Regular dental exams will help ensure the implants and the dentures stay in great condition.

Are implant-supported dentures removable?

Some implant-supported dentures are fixed and non-removable by the patient, while others can be removed for cleaning. During your consultation, we’ll help determine the best option for you.

What if I already have dentures—can I upgrade to implant-supported dentures?

Yes! Many patients who already have traditional dentures can transition to implant-supported dentures. We’ll assess your current situation to determine the best treatment plan.
