Implant Denture
Implant dentures offer several advantages over traditional dentures, including greater comfort, better chewing ability, and improved speech. They are especially beneficial for those who have experienced significant bone loss and are seeking a more permanent and functional alternative to removable dentures. With the help of modern technology and advanced techniques, implant dentures are a transformative option for restoring both the aesthetics and functionality of a patient’s smile.
Implant dentures are supported by dental implants—small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. These implants function as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for dentures that mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
Key Considerations:
Cost: Implant-supported dentures are generally more expensive due to the surgical procedure and materials involved.
Procedure: Regular dentures are non-invasive, while implant-supported dentures require surgery for implant placement.
Comfort: Implant dentures provide a more secure and comfortable fit, especially for patients with significant bone loss or difficulty with traditional dentures.
Both options have their advantages, and the choice depends on factors like oral health, budget, and personal preference.
How long does the denture process take?
Typically, getting dentures involves four key appointments: (1) impressions, (2) bite registration, (3) try-in, and (4) final denture delivery. Between each appointment, there is usually a week or two of lab work, so the entire process usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks. However, the timeline can vary based on individual needs and oral health.
