What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a revolutionary alternative to traditional removable dentures. Instead of resting on your gums, these dentures are securely anchored to dental implants placed in your jawbone. This provides a much more stable fit, preventing slipping, discomfort, and the need for messy adhesives. Implant-supported dentures can replace an entire arch of missing teeth (upper, lower, or both) with a strong, natural-looking solution.

Here’s how they work:

Dental Implants: Small titanium posts are surgically placed into your jawbone. Over time, these implants fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation.‍
Custom Dentures: Once the implants have fully healed, custom dentures are attached to the implants. These dentures are designed to snap securely onto the implants, providing the look and function of natural teeth.‍
Permanent or Removable Options: Depending on your needs, implant-supported dentures can be removable for easy cleaning or fixed in place for a more permanent solution.

The Implant-Supported Denture Process at Espire Dental Glendale

At Espire Dental, we use the latest technology and advanced techniques to make the implant-supported denture process as comfortable and efficient as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we’ll perform a comprehensive exam to determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you. We’ll take digital scans and X-rays to assess your jawbone and create a personalized treatment plan.
Implant Placement: Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll surgically place the implants into your jawbone. The number of implants required will depend on your specific case—typically, four to six implants per arch are needed.
Healing Period: After the implants are placed, they will need time to fuse with the bone, which usually takes a few months. During this healing period, temporary dentures can be provided so that you can continue your daily routine comfortably.
Final Denture Placement: Once the implants have fully healed, your custom dentures will be securely attached to the implants. These dentures will fit snugly, giving you a comfortable, natural-looking smile.

How long do implant-supported dentures last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, while the dentures themselves can last 10-15 years before needing replacement. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene can help prolong the life of your implant-supported dentures.

Are implant-supported dentures better than traditional dentures?

Yes, implant-supported dentures offer several advantages over traditional dentures, including improved stability, comfort, and bone preservation. They feel more like natural teeth and provide a secure fit, eliminating the worry of slipping or discomfort.

Is the procedure for getting implant-supported dentures painful?

The implant placement process is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort may occur during the healing process, but it’s typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medications.

How many implants are needed for implant-supported dentures?

Typically, 4-6 dental implants are required to support a full arch of dentures. However, the exact number will depend on your individual case and the strength of your jawbone.

Can I remove my implant-supported dentures?

There are two types of implant-supported dentures: removable and fixed. Removable dentures can be easily snapped in and out for cleaning, while fixed dentures are permanently attached to the implants and can only be removed by a dentist.

Am I a good candidate for implant-supported dentures?

If you have lost most or all of your teeth and have sufficient jawbone density, you may be a good candidate for implant-supported dentures. We’ll evaluate your oral health and bone structure during your consultation to determine if this option is right for you.
