Implant-supported Dentures Provide A More Comfortable, Confident Smile

While Traditional dentures can restore chewing function, they may eventually become uncomfortable and bulky, making them feel less natural. They can also be challenging to keep in place, which means you might not feel confident eating or speaking in public.

People who wear regular dentures often experience problems with their false teeth, such as slippage, soreness, and difficulty chewing. These common issues can make it hard to enjoy daily activities.

Maylands Dental Centre offers implant-supported dentures, a more advanced tooth restoration. They use dental implants inserted into your jawbone to anchor your dentures in place. It’s a more stable and versatile tooth replacement than traditional dentures. This means they feel more like natural teeth, and you can enjoy a confident smile without worrying about them slipping or falling out.

FAQ'S

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a candidate for implant-supported dentures?

Those who have lost most or all of their natural teeth due to injury, dental cavities, or gum disease are candidates for implant-supported dentures. These artificial teeth may also provide a better alternative to removable dentures for patients who are not happy with the drawbacks of traditional dentures.

However, suitable candidates for implant treatment must have sufficient bone tissue. A patient’s jaw bone quality must be assessed before the dental procedure is performed. When a patient’s bone tissue is insufficient, a bone graft may be required.

Are implant-supported dentures better than traditional dentures?

Compared to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures offer several advantages:

Traditional dentures are removable, so you can take them out every day, but they can slip out of place. In contrast, implant-supported dentures can be more stable than traditional dentures, as they are anchored to dental implants. They are less likely to become loose when eating or speaking.

Implant-supported dentures can also help you chew more effectively. Patients who wear implant-supported dentures can consume harder and stickier foods, which are restricted for denture-wearers.

Implant-supported dentures tend to fit better and are more comfortable than loose dentures. There is less friction on the gums when wearing an implant-supported overdenture.

Implant-supported overdentures preserve the jaw bone and prevent further bone loss, allowing them to last longer than traditional dentures. They also help maintain facial structure.

We recommend consulting your dentist to determine whether implant-supported or conventional dentures are a suitable option for you. At Maylands Dental Centre, our experienced team can recommend appropriate treatment options during a consultation appointment.

What is the procedure for implant-supported dentures?

The procedure for implant-supported dentures generally begins with an initial consultation, where your dentist will assess your oral health and develop a personalised treatment plan. This includes evaluating your jawbone and overall suitability for tooth implants. The dental procedure may vary from patient to patient, depending on their specific needs. The general process is as follows:

The dental implant procedure starts with the surgical placement of titanium implants, which act as artificial tooth roots, into your jawbone. These tooth implants provide a strong foundation for custom dentures.

Following the implant surgery, a healing period is necessary to allow tooth implants to integrate into the jawbone. This healing process is crucial for the implants’ stability and success. The dentist will attach a temporary denture while you wait for the recovery and fabrication of your final dental prosthetics. Generally, the fusion of the implants and bone structure takes two to six months after the implant placement before they are strong enough to anchor the dentures in place.

After the healing period, which can vary depending on individual cases, the next step involves attaching abutments to the titanium implants. These abutments will hold the dentures securely in place.

Finally, the dentures are custom-made and fitted to provide a comfortable and natural-looking appearance, resulting in a beautiful smile.

Throughout the entire dental implant procedure, your dentist will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to achieve optimal results. This comprehensive approach helps your implant-supported dentures not only restore function but also enhance the aesthetics of your smile.

Are implant-supported dentures worth it?

Implant-supported dentures can be a worthwhile option to replace missing teeth. These dental appliances can help you restore your chewing abilities, improve your speech, and boost your confidence. With this dental restoration, you can avoid getting pressure sores caused by loose removable dentures and reduce gum tissue irritation.

Additionally, implant-supported dentures are stable, prevent bone loss, stimulate bone growth, and can significantly improve your quality of life.

Are implant-supported dentures removable?

Implant-supported dentures can be either removable or non-removable, depending on the type and your specific needs. Removable implant-supported dentures, often referred to as overdentures, snap onto the implants, allowing you to take them out for cleaning and maintenance. This option provides stability for implants while offering the convenience of removal.

Non-removable implant-supported dentures are attached to the implants and can only be taken out by a dentist. These dentures provide a more secure and natural feel, as they function similarly to natural teeth.

During your initial consultation, your dentist will discuss the suitable option for you based on your oral health, lifestyle, and preferences. Both types of implant-supported dentures offer improved function and aesthetics compared to conventional dentures. The choice between removable and non-removable will depend on your individual circumstances and treatment plan.

What are the possible risks with implant-supported dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are associated with minimal risks and have a high success rate. Below are some of the possible risks of implant-supported dentures:

Infection around the implant site:
Bleeding and swelling are commonly expected after the dental procedure. However, prolonged pain can indicate problems, such as oral infections. Your dentist may prescribe medication and provide aftercare instructions to help minimise the risk of infection.
Nerve damage:
mage to the nerve or adjacent natural tooth tissue occurs on rare occasions. It may occur if an implant is placed too close to a nerve. Common symptoms are tingling or numbness in the gums, tongue, lips, or face.
Implant rejection:
Although rare, the body can reject a tooth implant. Rejection symptoms include pain at the implant site, swelling, and fever.
Sinus complications:
When an implant is placed between the jaw and the sinus cavity, it may protrude into the sinus cavity and cause complications.
Allergic reaction:
If you are allergic to the titanium alloy in dental implants. you may experience an allergic reaction. This can cause tingling, swelling, and a loss of taste.

Can I have implant-supported dentures with bone loss?

Yes, it is possible to have implant-supported dentures even with bone loss. During your implant consultation, your dentist will assess your bone density and determine the most suitable treatment approach.

If you have significant bone loss, an additional procedure like bone grafting ay be required. This surgical procedure involves adding bone material to the affected area, which helps regenerate bone and provides a stable foundation for the implants.

After the bone grafting procedure, there is a necessary healing time to allow the bone to integrate properly. Once healed, the dental implant process can proceed. Following another healing period, the prosthetic teeth are attached to the implants, completing the teeth replacement.

Treatment planning is crucial in these cases to achieve the desired outcome. With careful planning and appropriate procedures, even those with bone loss can achieve successful and functional implant-supported dentures. Please consult your dentist at Maylands Dental Centre.

How much do implant-supported dentures cost?

The average cost of implant-supported dentures at Maylands Dental Centre starts at $12,500. Key factors affecting the price include:

The number of implants required for stability
The complexity of the dental procedure
The materials used for both the implants and the overdenture
