Besides the obvious aesthetic concerns, tooth loss can lead to difficulty chewing, speech impairment, and oral health issues. If you're experiencing the challenges of multiple missing teeth, implant-supported dentures can be a transformative solution that feels as secure as your natural teeth.
Implant-supported dentures offer a significant advancement over traditional dentures. Unlike removable dentures, which sit on your gums and may slip or cause discomfort, implant-supported dentures are anchored securely to dental implants. As a result, your new teeth are more stable and don't move while you eat, talk, or laugh.
During an initial consultation, our team will assess your oral health, check your medical history, and determine if you're a suitable candidate for implant-supported dentures. They'll also answer your questions and create a customized treatment plan to restore your smile.
Afterward, Dr. Stidham will numb the area and surgically place at least two dental implants into your jawbone. These implants fuse with the bone over time, creating a stable foundation for your dentures. The healing period varies for each person but typically takes a few months.
Once the implants have fully healed, Dr. Stidham will attach your custom-made dentures. She will design your dentures to fit your mouth and provide optimal comfort and aesthetics.
