Implant Dentures

What Are Implant Dentures?

Implant dentures, also known as implant-supported dentures or overdentures, are dentures that are anchored to the jawbone using dental implants. This secure attachment prevents the dentures from slipping or shifting, providing a more stable and comfortable fit compared to traditional dentures.

Benefits of Implant Dentures

• Enhanced Stability: Securely anchored to dental implants, preventing movement during eating and speaking.
• Natural Appearance: Designed to look and feel like natural teeth.
• Improved Functionality: Restores full chewing and speaking capabilities.
• Bone Preservation: Prevents bone loss associated with missing teeth.
• Comfortable Fit: Custom-made for a comfortable and precise fit.

The Implant Dentures Procedure

1. Consultation and Examination: Dr. Scott Bonin will perform a comprehensive examination, including x-rays and possibly a CT scan, to assess your oral health and determine if you are a candidate for implant dentures.
2. Treatment Planning: A personalized treatment plan is developed, outlining the steps and timeline for your implant dentures procedure.
3. Implant Placement: Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. Local anesthesia or sedation ensures your comfort during the procedure.
4. Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation.
5. Denture Fabrication: Impressions of your mouth are taken to create custom dentures that fit perfectly and match your natural teeth.
6. Denture Attachment: Once osseointegration is complete, the custom dentures are securely attached to the implants using special connectors.

Types of Implant Dentures

At Bonin Dental Care, we offer various types of implant dentures to suit your specific needs:

• Full Arch Implant Dentures: Also known as All-on-4 or All-on-6, these replace an entire arch of teeth using four or six implants.
• Removable Implant Dentures: These can be removed for cleaning and maintenance but securely snap onto the implants.
• Fixed Implant Dentures: Permanently attached to the implants, providing the most natural feel and function.
