Dental Implants Denture (Implant-Supported Denture)

If you’re missing multiple teeth or even an entire row, it can significantly impact your quality of life. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers effective solutions to restore your smile and oral function. One such advanced option is a full-arch implant-supported denture. We want to help you understand this treatment option, including its benefits and what you can expect from the process.

Some options for dental dentures and implants include:

These full-arch dental implants provide a strong foundation for full-mouth dental implants that can restore your youthful appearance while providing functional teeth that allow you to smile, laugh, and eat your favorite foods without embarrassing ill-fitting dentures.

What is a Full Arch Implant-Supported Denture?

A full arch implant-supported denture, also known as an implant-retained denture, is a dental prosthesis designed to replace an entire row of missing teeth.

Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and may require adhesives, these dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. The implants provide a stable and secure foundation, mimicking the function of natural tooth roots.

Full-arch restorations are a comprehensive treatment approach that replaces all teeth in the upper or lower jaw using dental implants. This method restores function and aesthetics, allowing patients to speak, eat, and smile confidently.

Full-arch restorations can include fixed (permanent) implant bridges or removable overdentures that snap onto the implants.

This dentistry office is by far the best dental experience in my 25 years of going. From adult and childhood trauma to learning to trust Dr. Hariri with my care has been such a blessing. If you suffer with dental anxiety, let him change it. He will! They cater to military insurance and are great with kids too!

How Long Do Dental Implants Dentures Last?

Full-arch dental implants can last many years, often a lifetime, with proper care and maintenance. The implants, typically made of titanium, are highly durable and resistant to decay. However, the denture prosthesis attached to the implants may need replacement or adjustment over time, depending on wear and tear. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential to ensure the longevity of your implants and the overall health of your mouth.

What is Dental Implants Dentures Treatment?

Full arch dental implant treatment involves several stages:

  1. Consultation and Assessment: Dr. Hariri will evaluate your oral health, take X-rays or CT scans, and discuss your treatment goals.

  2. Treatment Planning: A customized treatment plan is developed based on your specific needs.

  3. Implant Placement: Dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone. This process may involve minor bone grafting if necessary.

  4. Healing Period: The implants need time to integrate with the jawbone; a process called osseointegration typically takes a few months.

  5. Abutment Placement: Once the implants have fused with the bone, abutments (connectors) are placed on top of the implants.

  6. Denture Fabrication and Attachment: A full arch denture is custom-made and securely attached to the abutments.

  7. Celebrate: Show off your new smile!

Are Dental Implants Dentures Affordable?

The cost of Dental Implants Dentures can vary widely depending on several factors, including the number of implants required, the complexity of the case, and the materials used for the dentures. While the initial investment may be higher than traditional dentures, the long-term benefits and durability often justify the expense. Many dental insurance plans cover some of the cost of Dental Implants Dentures. We also offer financing options or payment plans to make the treatment more accessible.

How Long Does the Process Take?

The entire process can take several months, from consultation to final denture placement. The initial surgery to place the implants is followed by a healing period of 3-6 months to allow for osseointegration. After this healing phase, the abutments and dentures are fitted, which may require additional appointments for adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.

What Are the Benefits of Overdentures (Dental-Implant-Supported Dentures)?

  • Stability and Comfort: Securely anchored to implants, overdentures do not slip or shift, providing a more comfortable fit.

  • Improved Functionality: Patients can eat a wider variety of foods without worrying about denture movement.

  • Bone Preservation: Implants help maintain jawbone density and prevent bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures.

  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Custom-made to match your natural teeth, overdentures offer a more natural appearance.

  • Speech Improvement: Better stability helps in clearer and more confident speech.

What Are the Options for Dental Implants Dentures?

There are different options available for full-arch dental implants tailored to meet individual needs:

  • All-on-4 Dental Implants: This is a type of dental implant procedure where four implants are placed in your jaw to support a full set of teeth on either the top or bottom of your mouth. It’s a popular option because it provides a strong and stable base for your new teeth with fewer implants.

  • All-on-6 Dental Implants: These are similar to All-on-4, but instead of four implants, six implants are used. This can offer even more stability and support, especially for people who need extra security for their new teeth.

  • Dental Implant-Supported Dentures: These are dentures that are held in place by implants in your jaw. Unlike traditional dentures, which can move around or slip, they are much more secure because they’re attached to the implants.

  • Implant-Supported Bridges or Full-Arch Implant Bridge: This is a permanent set of teeth fixed in place using implants. It’s called a “bridge” because it spans across your mouth’s entire arch (top or bottom), giving you a full set of teeth that don’t come out.

  • Full-Mouth Dental Implants: This involves placing implants throughout your entire mouth, both top and bottom, to support a complete set of permanent teeth. It’s like getting a brand-new smile that functions just like natural teeth.

  • Removable Implant Overdentures: These dentures snap onto implants and can be removed for cleaning while providing a secure fit during wear.

Full-arch dental implant-supported dentures offer a reliable and long-lasting solution for those looking to restore their smile and oral function.

These options are great for people who have lost most or all of their teeth and want a stable, long-lasting solution. They help you eat, talk, and smile with confidence.
