What Are Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures are a modern alternative to removable dentures. Instead of resting on the gums, these dentures are anchored to small titanium posts placed in the jawbone that act as artificial tooth roots. The denture fits onto the implants, offering better stability, chewing power, and comfort. There are two main types of implant dentures: fixed or permanent and removable. Dr. Lopez, who is specially trained in prosthodontics, will help you choose the right option for your needs and lifestyle.
During your consultation, we will evaluate your dental health and create a personalized plan that feels right for you.
Who Is a Candidate for Implant Dentures?
You may be a good candidate for implant dentures if:
• You are missing most or all of your teeth
• You are unhappy with loose or uncomfortable dentures
• You want a more secure and natural-feeling solution
• You have healthy gums and sufficient bones to support implants (or are open to bone grafting if needed)
The Implant Denture Process
- Consultation and Imaging
We will evaluate your mouth and take 3D scans to plan your implant placement. - Implant Placement
Small titanium posts are placed into the jawbone. These will need time to heal and fuse with the bone. - Denture Fittings
Once the implants are ready, we will design and fit your custom denture to attach securely to the implants. - Follow-Up and Maintenance
We will check in regularly to make sure everything feels comfortable and is properly fitted.
Results and Recovery
Most patients find that implant dentures feel much more stable and comfortable than traditional dentures. You will be able to chew more comfortably, speak more clearly, and smile with ease. Recovery from implant placement involves some healing time, but we will provide simple instructions and be available for support whenever you need us. Once healed, implant dentures can last many years with proper care, and we will help you through every step.
