Implant Supported Dentures

Secure, Comfortable Implant-Supported Dentures at Espire Dental in Highlands Ranch, CO

At Espire Dental Highlands Ranch, we understand how life-changing it can be to restore your smile after tooth loss. Implant-supported dentures are a revolutionary solution that combines the stability of dental implants with the functionality and aesthetics of dentures. Whether you're tired of traditional dentures that slip or you're looking for a more permanent, comfortable solution, implant-supported dentures can give you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile freely again.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a modern alternative to traditional dentures. Unlike regular dentures that rest on your gums, these are anchored securely by dental implants placed in your jawbone. The implants provide a stable foundation, ensuring your dentures won’t shift or slip out of place, giving you greater comfort and confidence.

We offer two main types of implant-supported dentures:

  • Removable Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures snap onto the implants and can be removed for cleaning, offering the security of implants with the convenience of removable dentures.
  • Fixed Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are permanently secured to the implants and can only be removed by a dentist. They function just like natural teeth and provide a long-term solution for missing teeth.

Implant-supported dentures eliminate the need for loose-fitting dentures or adhesive creams. They offer improved stability, comfort, and appearance compared to traditional dentures.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures at Espire Dental Highlands Ranch

Choosing implant-supported dentures at Espire Dental Highlands Ranch offers numerous benefits that enhance both your quality of life and your oral health:

  • Improved Stability: Implant-supported dentures stay securely in place, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently without fear of slippage.
  • Comfortable Fit: With dental implants acting as anchors, these dentures feel more natural and comfortable compared to traditional dentures.
  • Enhanced Chewing Function: You’ll be able to enjoy your favorite foods again without the worry of your dentures moving out of place.
  • Prevention of Bone Loss: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures.
  • Natural Appearance: Implant-supported dentures are custom-designed to look and function like natural teeth, enhancing the aesthetics of your smile.
  • Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last for many years, making them a durable, cost-effective option for tooth replacement.

Whether you’ve been using traditional dentures or need a complete set of teeth replaced, implant-supported dentures provide a long-term solution that looks and feels like your natural teeth.

How many implants are needed for implant-supported dentures?

The number of implants needed depends on the type of dentures. Typically, 4 to 6 implants are used for a full upper or lower set of dentures. We’ll discuss the best option for you during your consultation.

Are implant-supported dentures removable?

There are two types of implant-supported dentures: removable and fixed. Removable dentures can be snapped on and off the implants, while fixed dentures are permanent and can only be removed by a dentist.

How long do implant-supported dentures last?

With proper care and regular dental visits, implant-supported dentures can last 10 to 20 years or even longer. The implants themselves are a permanent solution, and the dentures may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear.

What is the recovery time after implant placement?

The implants generally take about 3 to 6 months to integrate fully with your jawbone. You’ll wear temporary dentures during this time, and we’ll monitor your progress to ensure a successful outcome.

How do I care for implant-supported dentures?

Caring for implant-supported dentures is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, and visit us for regular checkups to ensure the implants and dentures stay in excellent condition.

Am I a good candidate for implant-supported dentures?

If you’ve experienced tooth loss and have adequate bone structure to support dental implants, you may be a good candidate for implant-supported dentures. During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan.
