Implant Supported Dentures are an option for those who already have dentures and want affordable dental implants in Ellenbrook. Implant Supported Dentures provide a cost-effective solution to give you more natural looking teeth and a better looking appearance. Long time denture wearers can have issues with bone resorption and often look sunken and drawn as a result.
Implant Supported DenturesÂ
Looking for a reliable solution to restore your smile? Our experienced Dentist Ellenbrook offers high-quality implant supported dentures that provide a secure, natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures. Whether you’re dealing with discomfort or instability from removable dentures, implant-supported options can dramatically improve your comfort, confidence, and oral health.
Implant Supported Dentures Procedure
STEP 1 – Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Your implant dentist will examine your medical history, undertake a physical examination and take x-rays. They can also answer any questions or address concerns you may have. An appointment for your fixed implant-supported bridge is made if you both agree this is the best course of action.
STEP 2 – Placing the Dental Implants
- Remaining teeth are removed and dental implants are placed. You can choose to remain awake or be put to sleep (Sleep Dentistry). It is recommended to have 4 to 6 in dental implants in the upper jaw, and 2 to 4 dental implants in the lower jaw which has a higher bone quality and density. Generally, the more dental implants you have, the more support and less movement you will experience with your dentures.
- The implants will need 3 – 4 months to osseo-integrate (‘fuse’ into your jaw bone), during which time you will wear traditional temporary dentures so you will leave the appointment with teeth.
STEP 3 – Placing abutments and fitting dentures
- After osseo-integration, implant abutments are placed directly into your dental implants. These will then be able to connect with rubber attachments within your dentures.
- Implant-supported removable dentures don’t cover as much of your oral tissues as traditional dentures. They are more comfortable and allow improved function, easier maintenance and a more natural appearance.
* Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
