At Espire Dental Northfield, we believe everyone deserves a confident, functional smile, even after tooth loss. If traditional dentures have left you feeling insecure or uncomfortable, implant-supported dentures could be the ideal solution. By combining the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures, this treatment offers a more secure, long-lasting way to restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
Implant-supported dentures are a hybrid solution that uses dental implants to securely anchor your dentures in place. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. This provides superior stability and comfort, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Here are the main benefits of implant-supported dentures:
At Espire Dental Northfield, we’re committed to restoring your smile's function and aesthetics. Here’s why patients choose us for their implant-supported dentures:
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Routine checkups and good oral hygiene are vital to ensuring the longevity of your implants and dentures.
Yes and no. Implant-supported dentures can be fixed (non-removable) or removable, depending on your needs and preferences. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option is best for you.
The implant placement procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and we also offer nitrous oxide and IV sedation for patients who need extra comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the healing process.
The number of implants varies depending on your case, but four to six implants are typically needed to support a complete denture. We’ll determine the ideal number of implants during your consultation.
The timeline for implant-supported dentures can vary. After the implants are placed, they usually take a few months to fully integrate with the jawbone before the final dentures are attached. Temporary dentures will be provided in the meantime.
Caring for implant-supported dentures is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, and visit our office regularly for professional cleanings and checkups to keep your smile healthy and your implants in top shape.
