Am I A Candidate For Implant Supported Dentures?

Dr. Vanila Choudhry • August 15, 2023

Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, implant supported dentures in Irvine, CA are anchored by dental implants. These tooth implants, typically made of titanium material, are surgically placed into the patient’s jawbone, giving them a sturdy base for the dentures to be attached to. 

 

This means that implant supported dentures are more stable and feel closer to natural teeth, compared to traditional dentures. Implant supported dentures give patients improved dental comfort and functionality, enabling them to eat and speak confidently without the fear of their dentures slipping or falling out of their mouth.

 

But who is a candidate for implant supported dentures? Continue reading to learn about who implant supported denture candidates are. 


What Makes You A Candidate For Implant Supported Dentures In Irvine, CA? 

Implant supported dentures are great teeth replacement options for those who are missing multiple teeth or an entire arch of teeth. They are also great for traditional denture wearers who want to upgrade their smile. With implant supported dentures, patients have a more secure and natural looking smile compared to the one they have with traditional dentures. 

 

Candidates for implant supported dentures should also have a healthy amount of jawbone density and volume to support them. Additionally, it is important for implant supported denture candidates to have realistic expectations about the outcome of their treatment.



While the cost of implant supported dentures can be higher compared to traditional dentures, the benefits of implant supported dentures can outweigh this. With proper care and regular maintenance, implant supported dentures can last for many years, giving patients a reliable, comfortable, and stable new smile.


How Do Implant Supported Dentures In Irvine, CA Restore My Smile? 

In an implant supported dentures procedure, two or more dental implants are strategically and securely placed in the patient’s jawbone. The dental implants are small, screw-like devices that, once fused with the jawbone, become a permanent part of the patient’s smile. Also, once the dental implants have fused with the jawbone, they stimulate it like natural teeth would. 

 

After the dental implants are placed in the patient's jawbone, the denture is securely attached to them. By getting treated with implant supported dentures, patients will have a sturdy and comfortable new smile. With implant supported dentures, patients will be able to eat the foods they want, speak in comfort, and smile with confidence.
