If you have lost teeth, it is important to consider different options for dental restoration. One popular option is implant-supported dentures, which can help you regain full form and function if you have experienced widespread tooth loss. At Advanced Implant and Periodontal Specialists, our doctors have a proven track record of providing smile restoration for patients throughout Winchester, VA and Martinsburg, WV. We are pleased to be a trusted name in implant-supported dentures.

How Are Implant Dentures Different from Regular Dentures?

While traditional dentures can be a great way to restore your smile aesthetics, they are not always the best option for restoring dental function. Some patients find that traditional dentures feel insecure, sliding out of place and lacking sufficient bite power. Anchoring a denture to implants, which are a permanent part of the smile, can address these concerns, providing not just aesthetic restoration but comfort as well.

What Are the Benefits of Implant Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures provide a natural-looking smile along with greater bite power, meaning you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about your denture sliding out of place.

Ideal Candidates for Dental Implants

Missing Teeth

Virtually anyone who is missing one or more teeth or who anticipates the need for tooth extraction can benefit from dental implant placement. Dental implants provide a stable anchor point for dentures and also fortify the strength of your jawbone. Dental implants can sometimes be placed at the same time as a tooth extraction to help avoid any bone loss.

Good Health

To be a good candidate for dental implant placement, it is also important to be in good health overall, and able to have a surgical intervention without undue surgical risk. Additionally, the best candidates do not have any untreated periodontal disease.

What Is the Implant Denture Experience Like?

Your experience in receiving implant-supported dentures will begin with a consultation. During this appointment, your doctor will carefully assess your teeth and gums, x-rays, ask some questions about your medical history, and confirm that you are eligible for a safe and successful procedure.

On the day of your surgery, you will receive full anesthesia care, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. If you have any unhealthy teeth that need to be extracted, we will do so before placing the implants. Each implant is like a small titanium screw, carefully inserted into the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. Over time your implants will fuse with the surrounding bone, ensuring a steady and secure foundation for dental prosthesis.

Your denture will be customized to match the look of your natural teeth for a seamless smile restoration.
