Restore Your Smile with Implant-Supported Dentures at Espire Dental Lone Tree

At Espire Dental Lone Tree, we know how much missing teeth can affect your daily life—whether it’s eating, speaking, or simply smiling confidently. That’s why we offer implant-supported dentures, a revolutionary solution that provides the stability of dental implants with the full-arch restoration of dentures. Conveniently located near Park Meadows Mall and Sky Ridge Medical Center, our practice offers top-tier restorative care to patients throughout the Lone Tree area, helping you regain a smile that feels natural and secure.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures combine the best of both worlds: the security of dental implants and the affordability of dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and can shift or slip, implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in your jawbone. This means:

  • Increased Stability: Your dentures stay firmly in place, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
  • Improved Comfort: No more discomfort or sore spots from loose, ill-fitting dentures.
  • Long-Lasting Support: Dental implants provide a strong foundation that can last for decades with proper care.
  • Enhanced Appearance: Implant-supported dentures are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, restoring your smile’s beauty and function.

With implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy a secure, natural-looking smile without the worry of slippage or discomfort.

What to Expect Before Implant-Supported Denture Treatment in Lone Tree, CO

The process of getting implant-supported dentures at Espire Dental Lone Tree is straightforward and stress-free. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Peppler will thoroughly examine your dental history to determine if you’re a good candidate for implant-supported dentures. This may include taking X-rays or 3D scans to assess your jawbone’s density and health.
  2. Implant Placement: If you’re a candidate, the next step is the placement of dental implants. These small titanium posts are surgically placed into your jawbone, where they fuse over time to create a stable foundation for your dentures.
  3. Healing & Temporary Dentures: While your implants heal, you may wear a temporary denture to maintain your smile’s appearance. The healing process typically takes several months as the implants integrate with the bone.
  4. Custom Denture Creation: Once your implants have fully integrated, we’ll create a custom set of dentures designed to fit securely over your implants. These dentures are custom-made to look natural and complement your smile.
  5. Final Placement: Your custom dentures will be securely attached to the implants, providing you with a stable, natural-looking smile that’s comfortable and functional.

How long does the process take?

The entire process, from implant placement to the final dentures, typically takes several months. This includes the healing time for the implants to fuse with your jawbone, ensuring a strong and stable foundation.

Are implant-supported dentures removable?

There are two types of implant-supported dentures: removable and fixed. Removable dentures can be removed for cleaning, while fixed dentures remain in place and are only removed by a dentist. We’ll help you decide which option is best for you.

Is the procedure painful?

No. The implant placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for your comfort. Most patients report only minor discomfort during recovery, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

How do I care for implant-supported dentures?

Care for implant-supported dentures is similar to caring for natural teeth. You’ll need to brush, floss daily, and visit us regularly for cleanings and check-ups. We’ll provide you with specific care instructions to ensure your implants and dentures last a long time.

How long do implant-supported dentures last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, while the dentures themselves, depending on wear and tear, may need replacement every 7-10 years. Regular dental visits will help prolong their lifespan.

Will my insurance cover implant-supported dentures?

Coverage for implant-supported dentures varies depending on your insurance plan. We’ll work with you to understand your benefits and offer financing options if needed to ensure the treatment is affordable.
