Benefits

Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures provide numerous advantages for patients seeking a reliable and natural-feeling solution:

  • Enhanced Confidence: Enjoy eating, speaking, and laughing without worrying about your dentures slipping or falling out.
  • Improved Comfort: Securely anchored dentures reduce gum irritation and eliminate the discomfort often associated with traditional dentures.
  • Natural Appearance: Less plastic is required for retention, resulting in a more natural look that enhances your smile.
  • Preserves Jaw Health: By supporting the jawbone, implant-supported dentures help prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure over time.
  • Clear Speech: Unlike conventional dentures, which may cause slurred speech or clicking sounds, implant-supported dentures allow for clearer, more natural speech.
  • No Adhesives Needed: Say goodbye to messy denture adhesives with a secure, implant-supported fit.

At Premier Dentistry in Gresham, Oregon, we place mini implants into the jawbone, where they integrate securely with the surrounding bone. The denture is fitted with attachments that connect directly to these implants. Once in place, the denture locks onto the implants, ensuring stability and a confident fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a tooth replacement option that combines dental implants with a denture. The denture snaps onto implants placed in your jawbone, providing much better stability than traditional dentures. As few as 2 to 4 implants per arch can securely support a full denture without the need for adhesives.
How are implant-supported dentures different from traditional dentures?
Implant-supported dentures offer significantly more stability and comfort. They don’t slip, click, or require messy adhesives. They also help preserve jawbone and improve chewing ability. Traditional dentures often move during eating and speaking and can accelerate bone loss over time.
How many implants are needed for implant-supported dentures?
Most implant-supported dentures can be stabilized with 2 to 4 implants per arch. The exact number depends on your bone density and desired level of stability. During your consultation at Premier Dentistry in Gresham, we’ll determine the best number of implants for your specific needs.
Who is a good candidate for implant-supported dentures?
Good candidates include patients who are missing multiple teeth, have loose or uncomfortable traditional dentures, or want more stability without committing to a fully fixed solution like All-on-4. You should have adequate jawbone (or be open to grafting) and be in good overall health. We evaluate each patient individually during the consultation.
Are implant-supported dentures removable?
Yes, implant-supported dentures are removable. You can take them out for cleaning and sleeping, but they stay securely in place while worn thanks to the implants. This gives you the stability of implants with the convenience of being able to remove the denture when needed.
Is getting implant-supported dentures painful?
The implant placement procedure is done under local anesthesia and sedation options, so you should not feel pain during surgery. Most patients experience mild soreness afterward, which is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. Recovery is generally well tolerated.
How long does it take to get implant-supported dentures?
The full process typically takes 3 to 6 months. This includes implant placement, a healing period for the implants to integrate with the bone, and fabrication of your custom denture. In some cases, a temporary denture can be worn during the healing phase.
How much do implant-supported dentures cost?
The cost of implant-supported dentures varies depending on the number of implants, type of denture, and any additional procedures like extractions or bone grafting. We offer flexible financing and payment plans. Most insurance plans provide some coverage. Call Premier Dentistry for a personalized estimate.
How do I clean and maintain implant-supported dentures?
You should remove and clean your implant-supported dentures daily, just like traditional dentures. Brush the denture and clean around the implant attachments. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are important to maintain both the denture and the health of your implants and gums.
How long do implant-supported dentures last?
The dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. The denture itself and the attachment components typically need replacement or relining every 5 to 10 years. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help maximize the longevity of your implant-supported dentures.
