Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a revolutionary dental solution designed to enhance the stability and functionality of dentures. Unlike traditional removable dentures that rely solely on adhesives or suction for retention, implant-supported dentures involve the placement of dental implants in the jawbone. These implants serve as secure anchors for the denture, preventing slipping or shifting while eating, speaking, or smiling.

At Ivette Guillermo D.M.D., we offer this innovative approach not only because it significantly improves the wearer's comfort and confidence but also promotes better oral health by preserving bone density and preventing the bone resorption commonly associated with conventional dentures.

The Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Enhanced Stability and Functionality

Implant-supported dentures in Miami, FL, provide stability and security that traditional dentures can't match. The implants act as artificial tooth roots that firmly hold the denture. This results in a more secure fit, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh without concern.

Improved Comfort

Traditional dentures can cause irritation, sore spots, and discomfort, especially over time. Implant-supported dentures distribute the pressure evenly along the jawbone, reducing the risk of pain and sores. This means you can wear your implant-supported dentures with ease and confidence.

Preservation of Bone Health

One of the hidden advantages of implant-supported dentures is their ability to maintain bone density in the jaw. When natural teeth are lost, the jawbone can resorb or deteriorate. Implants prevent this bone loss, preserving your facial structure and oral health.

The Process of Getting Implant-Supported Dentures

First, the essential comprehensive consultation with our qualified dentist is conducted to assess your dental health and determine your suitability for implant-supported dentures. During this initial phase, our dentist will discuss your treatment options and create a customized plan based on your needs.

The next step involves the surgical placement of dental implants in the jawbone. These implants serve as artificial tooth roots and are made of biocompatible materials like titanium. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia by our dentist in Miami, FL, and the implants are strategically positioned to support the dentures effectively.

Following the implant placement, a healing period of several months is necessary to allow the implants to integrate with the jawbone through osseointegration. Once this fusion is complete, your dentist will create custom dentures designed to attach securely to the implants. These dentures will demonstrate a stable and natural fit, allowing you to enjoy a confident smile and improved functionality.

In the final stages of the process, our dentist will attach the dentures to the implants, ensuring a snug and secure connection. With proper care and maintenance, implant-supported dentures can offer a long-lasting solution for individuals seeking an improved, stable, and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional dentures.

If you're seeking an alternative to traditional dentures that will allow you to eat, speak, and smile easily, consider exploring the possibilities offered by implant-supported dentures.
