What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Removable dentures require the use of messy pastes and adhesives to stay put in your mouth. Implanted dentures offer individuals a long-lasting alternative. Implanted dentures are connected to metal posts in your jaw, which means that they will not slip out of place, even as you are eating or speaking. With more security and support, individuals with implant-supported dentures can feel confident that their teeth will stay in their mouths. Implanted dentures look beautiful and can be cleaned just like your natural teeth. At Aesthetic Dentistry Associates in Atascocita, TX, clients can get custom implant dentures that look natural and feel comfortable. To find out more about implanted dentures and if they're the right choice for your needs, schedule a consultation with Dr. Umansky today.
How Do Implant-Supported Dentures Work?
Before treatment, Dr. Umansky will complete a thorough exam, including digital x-rays, to assess the condition of your jawbone and gums. If your jawbone or gums are not strong enough to hold the implants, gum and/or bone graft surgery can be performed. Once the grafted area is fully healed, you can have implant surgery.
Local anesthesia will be administered to numb your mouth before the procedure. Sedation options can be considered if the process will be lengthy or if it helps you feel more comfortable. Dr. Umansky will make surgical incisions in your gums and put implant posts in the holes in the jawbone. For dentures, at least four implants are needed for each arch. To anchor your denture, our dentists will typically place four to six dental implants in the jaw, but this may vary depending on your individual needs. The incisions will be closed, with part of the post remaining above the gums. A temporary denture will be used to cover the posts as they heal in the next 4 – 6 months. The implants will integrate with your jawbone and gums. Once healed, special attachments are fitted to securely snap the dentures onto the implants, improving comfort and function. These dentures can be easily removed for cleaning and daily maintenance.
What Are the Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures?
Choosing implant-supported dentures from Aesthetic Dentistry Associates is a transformative decision for individuals who desire a dependable and natural-looking solution for tooth replacement. This modern approach to dental prosthetics combines the benefits of traditional dentures and dental implants, offering many advantages tailored to enhance oral functionality and aesthetic appeal.
- Enhanced Self-Confidence: Knowing that your dentures look and feel like natural teeth allows for greater confidence in social and professional settings.
- Stability During Daily Activities: Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures are anchored directly to the jawbone, ensuring they stay in place while speaking, chewing, and laughing.
- Durability and Longevity: Constructed from high-quality materials and supported by implants integrated with the jawbone, these dentures offer a sturdy and lasting solution for missing teeth, potentially lasting for many years with proper care.
- Comfortable Fit: Implant-supported dentures are designed to fit comfortably in the mouth, reducing the risk of irritation, sore spots, or inflammation that can sometimes occur with conventional dentures.
- No Diet Restrictions: The secure fit and increased biting force allow individuals to enjoy a wider variety of foods, including those that are harder to chew.
- Prevention of Bone Loss: One of the most significant advantages of implant-supported dentures is their ability to stimulate the jawbone, similar to natural tooth roots, to prevent further bone loss.
Aesthetic Dentistry Associates Reviews
I really like this dental office. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It's a beautiful facility, it's clean, and they seem to always fit you in when needed. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they lack consistency as far as dentists that work there. I have had 3 different dentists the last three years. For whatever reason, they are always hiring new dentists to replace the ones that leave. All of them have been friendly and good dentists, I can't complain there, but I just wish I could build a good doctor/patient rapport with a single dentist, and not have to meet a new one every year.
The staff were great. Very thorough and no wait time. Great experience!
Highly recommend this place to everyone. Always so nice and friendly
Professional. Took extra time I needed and did not rush me.
Dr Bollman took good care of me.... No pain at any point having my first ever tooth pulled at age 53...
