Candidates for Implant Supported Dentures

Implant supported dentures are a good option for any patient who is missing a tooth or teeth, however patients who have additional health issues may not be viable candidates for having the surgery performed. Additionally, patients who do not have a sufficient amount of jawbone may require a bone graft procedure before they are able to adequately support a dental implant.

There are a range of immediate and long-term benefits that you will enjoy with your implant supported dentures, including the following:

Feels and functions like natural teeth
Maintains integrity of bone structure, stymieing atrophy
Keeps adjacent teeth healthy
Less discomfort and maintenance then dentures
Evenly distributes bite and chewing forces
Easier to speak compared to bulky dentures
Delivers temperature change sensations
Prevents additional bone loss, which can create an aged appearance

Implant Supported Dentures Process

In order to determine if implant supported dentures are right for you, you will need to schedule an initial consultation, during which we will examine the overall health of your teeth, review your medical history, take scans and x-rays, and determine what treatment options are best suited to your unique needs. Next, your periodontist will examine your jawbone to ensure there is an adequate amount of bone to hold an implant in place.

If it is determined that you are a good candidate for implant supported dentures, the next step will be to schedule an appointment to place the implants, which are titanium posts, into the areas of your jawbone where the dentures will be adhered. Prior to placing these rods, you will be given a local anesthetic. The type of anesthesia that is used may vary, depending upon the severity of your case as well as your overall sensitivity. Once you are properly numbed, the posts are surgically and strategically placed. Following this, you should plan on spending at least several months to allow for the posts to fuse, grow and integrate fully with the jawbone. During this period, you will be given a set of temporary dentures. Once the posts have fully integrated, you will return for your final visit. Our team will add extensions or abutments to the posts to reach the surface. Then your permanent dentures are placed. There are small nylon snaps on the backside of the denture tray. These snaps lock directly on to the post extensions providing the benefits as if they were natural roots.

Scheduling regular visits to maintain your teeth and gums will actively improve your overall health, and maintaining a bright and strong healthy smile will do wonders for your self-confidence.

Aftercare for Implant Supported Dentures

Immediately following your implant supported denture procedure, it will be important to follow aftercare instructions, such as avoiding beverages that are extremely hot or cold and avoiding strenuous physical activity.

Once you have finished the healing process, the most important thing you can do to maximize your results is to continue practicing good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing at least once daily, ideally every time you brush your teeth. It is also important to practice proper brushing and flossing techniques. Make sure that you also consistently clean the attachments, artificial teeth, and around the gums.

In addition to practicing consistent and proper oral selfcare, it is also important to schedule regular checkups every six months. At these visits, our team can monitor your implants, make sure they are fitting properly and ensure that all abutments, attachments, and implants are positioned correctly. By maintaining a consistent oral health care routine, you will significantly reduce your risk for developing additional periodontal issues and will continue enjoying a bright and healthy smile.

Implant Supported Dentures Cost

There are a range of factors that can impact the final cost of having implant supported dentures, such as the severity of your case, any associated procedures, tooth extraction or bone grafting, that will need to be performed prior to or along with treatment, as well as your insurance plan.

Our team is committed to helping you complete necessary paperwork, schedule appointments, and answer any questions you have concerning billing.

PERIODONTAL SERVICES

To determine if you have gum disease, your periodontist will measure the space between your teeth and gums. Patients who have pockets that are deeper than the average depth of three millimeters or less will be considered candidates for treating gum disease. Depending upon how severe your case is, your periodontist will suggest a follow up appointment, during which several different treatment options may be recommended.

Pinhole Surgical Treatment

Patients who are suffering from periodontal disease may experience gum recession. If this issue is not treated at an early stage, more complicated and serious problems can develop, as gum recession creates greater exposure of your natural teeth, which creates opportunities for bacteria to build. To address this issue, patients have historically had gum grafting, which involves removing tissue from unaffected areas and then grafting this tissue to the areas that have been affected. This is an effective method for addressing the issue of receding gums, however there is a newer and increasingly popular approach to treating receding gums, which is the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST).

Laser Gum Surgery

Laser gum surgery is an advanced treatment option that efficiently and painlessly treats gum disease through the use of a laser. One of the unique aspects of laser gum surgery is that the laser pinpoints and kills bacteria without damaging surrounding gum tissue. Unlike other treatment options, which involve cutting and suturing, patients who have laser gum surgery and treatment performed will have a much quicker healing process.

Gum Grafting

Patients who have gum recession may consider having a gum graft, a common oral surgical procedure that thickens existing gums and/or covers a tooth root surface in order to prevent further recession from occurring. Gum recession can occur for a variety of reasons, but the most common reason is due to periodontal disease. A gum graft will not only improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile, but will also reduce your risk of developing additional issues.

Gingival Contouring

Patients who have an imbalanced ratio between their visible gums and teeth have what is commonly referred to as a gummy smile. Gummy smiles can be caused by a range of factors, including bone deterioration, periodontal disease, or genetic predisposition. Regardless of the reason, patients often feel self-conscious about their appearance and will seek to improve this issue by having a gum contouring procedure performed.

Scaling & Root Planing

Scaling and Root Planing (also known as deep teeth cleaning and deep gum cleaning) is a common method used to address periodontal disease. Scaling refers to the process of removing tartar that has accumulated, either on your teeth or below your gumline. Planing refers to the removal of tartar below the root line. When bacteria is allowed to settle on your teeth for too long, it will eventually mineralize and turn into tartar. The primary difference between plaque and tartar is that plaque can be removed by conventional brushing methods, whereas tartar will need to be removed through the efforts of your periodontist. It is important to schedule regular deep teeth cleaning and deep gum cleaning appointments to prevent periodontal disease from developing.
