Implant Secured Dentures An Overview
Implant-secured dentures are a more secure solution for missing teeth replacement.
If you are missing teeth, it is imperative that you find the appropriate tooth replacement solution. For years, the only solution for patients missing a full arch of teeth has been to wear a traditional denture.
Traditional dentures are cemented to the mouth using an adhesive paste and removed at the end of each day. Because traditional dentures are secured using a temporary adhesive, patients are more prone to slippage, which can lead to uncomfortable or embarrassing social situations.
However, for patients seeking a more secure solution for tooth replacement, your dentist may offer implant-secured dentures. Implant-secured dentures are a more stable solution compared to traditional dentures. With implant-secured dentures, patients can enjoy their smiles without worrying about slippage.
Columbus dentist Dr. Albert Caves offers a full range of dental implant services, including implant-secured dentures. Visit our Columbus, GA dentist office to determine if implant-secured dentures are right for you.
Why Choose Implant-Secured Dentures?
When you lose teeth, the bone in the jaw begins to deteriorate. Patients may experience facial sagging or other complications as a result of bone loss. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement solution that helps stimulate the bone and encourage natural bone growth. Implant-secured dentures allow patients to smile more confidently, enjoy an improved eating experience, and enhance comfort and confidence.
Implant Secured Dentures What to Expect
The process for receiving implant-secured dentures will vary from patient to patient. Dr. Caves will evaluate the condition of your teeth and create a treatment plan best suited for your needs. In most cases, Dr. Caves works closely with a local oral surgeon for the surgical phase of the dental implant procedure. Working as a team, they offer patients the benefit of comprehensive, consistent care throughout the entire process.
After the treatment planning phase, your dentist will place the appropriate number of dental implants into the jawbone. It will take several months for the implant post to fully integrate into the jawbone. In most cases, a temporary denture is placed while the dental implants fuse into the jawbone.
Once the implants are completely fused, impressions of the teeth are taken for the fabrication of the final restoration. Once the final denture is fabricated, Dr. Caves will carefully secure it to the dental implants.
