Implant-Supported Dentures?

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are an advanced restoration that combines the best features of dentures and dental implants. Your Rancho Santa Margarita dentist, Dr. Lari, strategically places several dental implants in your jaw to securely anchor your dentures, eliminating the common problems of slipping and shifting associated with traditional dentures.

Benefits of Implant Overdentures

1.

Enhanced Stability

The implants provide a strong anchor for the dentures, eliminating slippage and movement, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence.

2.

Improved Chewing Ability

The secure fit of implant-supported dentures allows for more efficient chewing, enabling you to enjoy a wider range of foods.

3.

Increased Comfort

Implant-supported dentures eliminate the pressure points and sore spots that can occur with traditional dentures.

4.

Improved Speech

The stability of implant-supported dentures can improve pronunciation and clarity.

Patients with Implant Overdentures report significant improvements in chewing function, speech, and overall quality of life.

What to Expect During the Implant Overdenture Process

The process of getting implant-supported dentures typically involves several stages:

  • Initial Evaluation: Dr. Lari will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and possibly 3D imaging, to assess your bone density and determine if you are a candidate for implants.
  • Implant Placement: The dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. The number of implants will vary depending on the type of denture and individual needs.
  • Healing Period (Osseointegration): The implants are allowed to heal and fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). This process can take several months.
  • Abutment Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, abutments (connector pieces) are attached to the implants.
  • Denture Fabrication and Placement: Custom-made dentures are fabricated to fit securely onto the abutments.
