Implant Supported Dentures

Step 1: Consultation and Assessment

The first step in the process of getting implant-supported dentures is a thorough consultation with your dentist at The Denture Company. During this initial appointment, your dentist will:

• Assess your oral health: A comprehensive examination will determine your eligibility for implant-supported dentures and identify any existing oral health issues that need to be addressed.

• Discuss your goals and needs: Your dentist will listen to your concerns, understand your expectations, and discuss the best treatment plan tailored to your unique situation.

Step 2: Treatment Planning

Based on the assessment and your individual requirements, your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan. This plan will outline the number of dental implants needed and whether you’ll receive a full-arch or partial-arch implant-supported denture.

Step 3: Dental Implant Placement

The next phase involves the surgical placement of dental implants into your jawbone. The procedure generally includes:

• Anesthesia: You’ll receive local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience during the implant placement.

• Implant insertion: Dental implants, typically made of biocompatible titanium, will be strategically placed into your jawbone. The number of implants will depend on your specific treatment plan.

Step 4: Osseointegration

After implant placement, a crucial healing period follows. During this phase, known as osseointegration, the implants naturally fuse with your jawbone. This process is vital because it provides a strong foundation for your implant-supported dentures.

Step 5: Abutment Placement

Once osseointegration is complete, your dentist will perform a minor surgical procedure to place abutments onto the implanted fixtures. Abutments are connectors that allow the denture to attach securely to the implants.

Step 6: Custom Denture Creation

With the abutments in place, your dentist will take impressions of your mouth to create custom dentures. These dentures will be designed to fit snugly and securely over the abutments and blend seamlessly with your natural gum line.

Step 7: Attachment of Dentures

The final step involves attaching your custom-made dentures to the abutments. Your dentist will ensure a secure fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and functionality.

Step 8: Final Adjustments and Follow-Up Care

After the attachment of your implant-supported dentures, your dentist will make any final adjustments to ensure that they align correctly and function effectively. You’ll receive guidance on proper care and maintenance to ensure the longevity of your new dentures.
