If you are seeking a long-lasting, stable solution for multiple missing teeth, our dentists may recommend implant-supported dentures. These dentures offer the security of dental implants while providing the natural look and feel of traditional dentures. Unlike conventional dentures, which can often become loose or shift in your mouth, implant-supported dentures are anchored in place, offering a more comfortable and confident solution for eating and speaking. Contact Integrated Aesthetic Dentistry today to schedule a consultation with Drs. Barsoum, Cafarella, Reid, Heindel, Nord, Pincus and Chu and learn if implant-supported dentures in New York City, New York, are right for you.
The process begins with the placement of dental implants, which serve as the foundation for your dentures. Dental implants are small, screw-like posts that are surgically inserted into your jawbone. Over time, these implants fuse with the bone, creating a secure and stable anchor for your denture. Depending on your specific case, four to six implants are typically used to support each denture. After the implants have healed and integrated with the bone, the denture is securely attached, restoring full function and aesthetics to your smile.
Implant-supported dentures are known for their exceptional stability. Many patients report that their implant dentures feel and function almost like their natural teeth. You will be able to enjoy a wider range of foods, speak more clearly, and feel confident that your dentures will not shift or fall out unexpectedly. This makes them an excellent choice for individuals who have experienced difficulty or discomfort with traditional dentures.
Additionally, in some cases, your existing dentures may be retrofitted to work with dental implants, offering you an affordable option for upgrading your current dental restoration. If you are interested in learning more about implant-supported dentures, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. Our skilled dentists can help you determine if this solution is right for you based on your unique dental needs and goals.
