If you’re tired of dealing with loose or uncomfortable dentures, implant-supported dentures could be the life-changing solution you’ve been waiting for. At Espire Dental Thornton, we offer a secure, durable option for those who need dentures but want the stability of dental implants. Our experienced team is here to help you regain your confidence with a smile that looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth.

How the Implant Denture Process Works

Getting implant-supported dentures is a multi-step process, and we’re here to ensure you feel confident and comfortable every step. Here’s what to expect:

Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we’ll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine whether implant-supported dentures are the right solution. We’ll also take digital images and X-rays to plan the placement of your implants.
Dental Implant Placement: The first step is placing the dental implants into your jawbone. These implants will act as artificial tooth roots, providing a secure foundation for your dentures. This procedure is performed with local anesthesia, and we offer sedation options for patients who experience anxiety.
Healing and Osseointegration: After the implants are placed, your jawbone will need time to heal and integrate with the implants. This process, called osseointegration, typically takes a few months. During this time, we’ll provide temporary dentures so you can continue smiling confidently.
Custom Denture Creation: Once your implants have fully integrated, we’ll create custom dentures designed to attach to the implants. We use high-quality materials that mimic the look of natural teeth for a beautiful, natural-looking result.
Final Fitting and Placement: After your custom dentures are ready, we’ll securely attach them to the implants and make any necessary adjustments for comfort and fit. Once complete, you’ll leave with a fully functional, natural-looking smile!

How long do implant-supported dentures last?

With proper care, the dental implants used for your dentures can last a lifetime. Depending on wear and tear, the dentures themselves may need to be replaced every 10-15 years.

‍

Are implant-supported dentures removable?

Yes, depending on the type of attachment, implant-supported dentures can be either fixed or removable. During your consultation, we’ll discuss both options to find the best solution for your needs.

‍

Will I need bone grafting for implant-supported dentures?

If you’ve experienced significant bone loss, a bone graft may be necessary to provide a strong foundation for the implants. We’ll assess your bone health during your initial consultation.

‍

Is the implant procedure painful?

No, the implant placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and we also offer sedation options to ensure your comfort. Most patients experience minimal discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

‍

How do I care for implant-supported dentures?

Caring for implant-supported dentures is simple. If you have removable dentures, you’ll need to clean them daily, just like regular dentures. If your dentures are fixed, you’ll care for them like natural teeth by brushing and flossing regularly.

What are the benefits of implant-supported dentures compared to regular dentures?

Implant-supported dentures provide superior stability, comfort, and function compared to regular dentures. They allow for better chewing ability, prevent bone loss, and eliminate the need for adhesives.
