Implant-Supported Dentures

Traditional Implant-Supported Dentures

The traditional implant-supported denture method provides a permanent, secure solution for missing teeth. Small titanium dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as anchors for a full set of replacement teeth. These dental implants fuse with the bone, providing superior stability, eliminating the need for adhesives, and allowing for a more natural feel and function compared to traditional removable dentures.

There are two types of traditional implant-supported dentures: bar-retained and ball-retained. In a bar-retained implant-supported denture, a thin metal bar attaches to the dental implant abutments, and the denture snaps onto the bar. In a ball-retained implant-supported denture, each dental implant abutment has a ball-shaped connector, and the denture has a corresponding socket that snaps onto the ball.

Denture Stabilization

For patients who already have dentures but struggle with discomfort or movement, our denture stabilization technique offers an affordable alternative. We can retrofit existing dentures by placing as few as two strategically positioned dental implants, providing better retention, improved comfort, and enhanced chewing ability. This technique is ideal for those looking for a cost-effective way to improve their current dentures without undergoing a full replacement.

Post-Treatment Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your implant-supported dentures, follow these care guidelines:

• Daily Cleaning – Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
• Flossing & Water Flossers – Clean around the implants and under the dentures to prevent plaque buildup.
• Routine Checkups – Visit Solid Bite every six months for professional cleanings and implant evaluations.
• Avoid Hard Foods – While implants are durable, excessive force on hard objects (like ice or pens) can cause damage.
• Monitor for Issues – Contact us immediately if you experience discomfort, swelling, or any changes in fit.

By following these steps, your implant-supported dentures can last a lifetime. Need more guidance? Call (321) 259-8000 to speak with our team.

Possible Downsides of Implant-Supported Dentures

Dental implants have a high success rate, but it’s important to understand the potential risks and factors that may impact your treatment:

• Healing Time – The osseointegration process takes three to six months, and proper aftercare is essential.
• Gum Health – Severe gum disease must be treated before implant placement.
• Bone Density – Some patients may require bone grafting if they lack sufficient jawbone support.
• Lifestyle Factors – Smoking and certain medical conditions can affect healing and implant success.

Our team conducts a thorough evaluation to ensure that implant-supported dentures are the right option for you. Schedule a consultation at (321) 259-8000 to discuss your candidacy.
