Restore Your Smile with Implant-Supported Dentures at Espire Dental Erie

Losing teeth doesn’t mean losing your ability to smile, eat, and speak with confidence. If traditional dentures feel uncomfortable or unstable, implant-supported dentures are the game-changing solution you’ve been looking for. At Espire Dental Erie, we specialize in this advanced technique, offering patients a secure, long-lasting, and natural-feeling alternative to conventional dentures. Instead of sitting on the gums, they are anchored by dental implants that are surgically placed into your jawbone. Whether you’re from Erie, Lafayette, or nearby areas like Frederick, we’re here to help you restore your quality of life with a secure smile.

What To Expect During the Implant Denture Process

Getting implant-supported dentures may sound complex, but at Espire Dental Erie, we make the process smooth and easy. Here’s what to expect during your treatment:

Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we’ll assess your oral health and discuss your options. If you’re a candidate for implants, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
Implant Placement: We’ll carefully place dental implants into your jawbone using advanced technology. These implants will act as the anchors for your dentures, and a temporary denture may be provided while the implants heal.
Healing Period: Over a few months, your jawbone will fuse with the implants in a process called osseointegration. This ensures that the implants are secure and strong.
Denture Placement: Once healing is complete, we’ll fit your custom-made dentures to the implants, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. From this moment on, your new smile is ready to go!

Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures at Espire Dental Erie?

Choosing implant-supported dentures at Espire Dental Erie provides several advantages over traditional dentures:

Superior Stability: You won't have to worry about dentures shifting or slipping while eating or speaking. Implant-supported dentures provide a stable, secure fit.
Improved Comfort: The implants support the denture, reducing gum irritation and providing a more comfortable experience.
Better Jawbone Health: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with traditional dentures.
Natural Look and Feel: Our custom-designed dentures mimic the appearance of natural teeth, giving you a beautiful and functional smile.
Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, making them a durable, long-term solution for missing teeth.

Are implant-supported dentures permanent?

Yes, the dental implants that hold your dentures in place are permanent and can last a lifetime with proper care. However, due to normal wear, the dentures themselves may need to be replaced over time.

How long does the implant-supported denture process take?

The process can take several months from start to finish, depending on the time needed for healing and implant integration. After the implants are placed, it typically takes 3-6 months for them to fuse to the bone before the final dentures can be attached.

Is the procedure painful?

While the implant placement is a surgical procedure, we ensure your comfort with local anesthesia, and sedation options are available if needed. After the surgery, some mild discomfort is normal, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How do I know if I’m a candidate for implant-supported dentures?

Most people with healthy gums and sufficient jawbones are good candidates for implant-supported dentures. During your consultation, we’ll take X-rays and scans to evaluate your jawbone density and overall health to ensure you’re a candidate.

Can I remove my implant-supported dentures?

Implant-supported dentures come in two varieties: removable (snap-in) and fixed (permanent). The removable type allows you to take them out for cleaning, while the fixed type stays in place and functions much like natural teeth.

Do implant-supported dentures look natural?

Yes! Implant-supported dentures are custom-made to match your natural teeth in shape, size, and color. They’ll look and feel like your teeth with their secure fit and high-quality materials.
