Thanks to recent advances, today’s dentures are stronger and more attractive than ever before. But they can still slip and slide out of position, often embarrassing patients in social situations.
At Salt And Smile Dental CO, we have a solution for loose-fitting denture called implant-supported dentures. Using a small number of Mission Valley dental implants, we secure your natural-looking dentures, providing you with exceptional comfort and chewing power.
Implant-supported dentures give you benefits you simply won’t get with traditional dentures:
Unlike conventional dentures that rely on natural suction or adhesives to stay in place, dental implants are secured directly to your jawbone. This prevents them from sliding, providing unparalleled stability and performance.
Regular dentures become worn out and lose their stability over time, typically requiring replacement every five to eight years. An implant-secured denture, on the other hand, will remain strong and stable for years to come, requiring adjustments and replacement far less often.
Traditional dentures sit on top of your gums for support, rubbing against them every time you take a bite of food and causing soreness. Implant-supported dentures allow you to chew and speak without pain or discomfort.
Patients tend to have greater bone density at the front of their jaw. That’s where our doctors will place the implants to maximize the stability of the restoration.
We can typically complete your treatment in three office visits.
Your consultation with Dr. Yaz is the first step in the implant process. He’ll ask you some questions about your treatment goals and provide a full dental examination. We use advanced imaging technology to take high-resolution images of your smile that allow us to expertly craft your permanent prosthetic.
Dr. Yaz will also review your medical history to determine the best treatment for you. If Dr. Yaz recommends implant-supported dentures, we can get the process started right away.
You’ll return to our office so Dr. Yaz can surgically place the implant fixture. This is the part of the implant that anchors it directly to the jawbone. Since more than one implant is necessary for implant-supported dentures, he’ll place them all at once.
The implant fixture is made from a biocompatible titanium alloy, so your body will naturally create a strong bond with it. In a few months, this will develop a sturdy foundation for your new smile.
We’ll provide you with a temporary prosthetic that protects the implants while they become integrated with your jawbone.
As soon as you’re fully adjusted to the implants, you’ll return to our office for your final appointment. Dr. Yaz will remove the temporary prosthetic and replace it with your permanent denture, completing your treatment.
