Implant Supported Dentures in Dixon

Many patients who have standard dentures become frustrated with their limitations, and find them to be to be unstable, inconvenient, and painful. Standard dentures also require a great deal of maintenance and can significantly limit the types of foods patients can enjoy. Fortunately, advancements in dental technology provide patients with more effective, long-lasting solutions. Implant supported dentures are a safe and effective treatment option for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and/or for patients who are currently dissatisfied with their dentures.

Implant supported dentures provide a more natural feeling and natural looking correction for lost teeth and will restore you back to full functionality, preserve the health of your surrounding teeth, and reduce your risk of developing additional physical or oral health issues. Because they are embedded in your bone, implant supported dentures eliminates slipping. Implant supported dentures can either be removable or fixed into place, and can support various fixed prostheses, ranging from a single crown to All-on-4 dental implants.

What to Expect During the Implant Supported Dentures Process

Prior to performing placement of implant supported dentures, we will conduct an in-depth dental and medical health history review to determine the underlying reason why implant supported dentures are necessary. This process will include an examination of your bite and for any indications of loose teeth, bone loss, TMJ, oral cancer, or signs of periodontal disease.

Once the underlying cause has been identified and it is determined that implant supported dentures are the appropriate treatment option for you, it will be necessary to take diagnostic exams (CT scan and X-Rays) to determine the precise placement of the implant and the number of implants necessary (typically 2 to 6). Once this is determined and the optimal locations are marked, the procedure will begin with administration of a local anesthetic and/or sedation. If necessary, this will be followed by the extraction of any teeth that need to be removed. Next, titanium posts are strategically placed in your jawbone. Once these posts are properly positioned, you will need to wait for several months for the posts to fully integrate with jawbone (osseointegration). During this period, temporary dentures will be placed to reduce your risk of developing an infection and allow you to preserve a full, healthy smile.

As soon as the jawbone has fully fused with the dental implant(s), the newly fabricated implant supported denture is placed. This is done with snaps on the back side of the denture tray. They lock on to the titanium post extensions preventing any slippage. Once in place, we will evaluate the overall fit and aesthetic appearance to ensure it matches aesthetically and provides you with optimal functional support. If it is determined that the implant meets these criteria, the implant supported denture process will be complete, and you can begin to enjoy your bright, new, full healthy smile.

Aftercare Following Implant Supported Dentures

Following the surgical placement of your implant supported dentures, it is essential to follow these and any additional post-operative instructions provided by our team to minimize risks and enjoy a fast recovery.

  • To reduce pain or discomfort, take the recommended dosage of prescribed painkillers and/or over-the counter medication.
  • To reduce swelling, apply an ice bag over the area for ten to fifteen minutes at a time.
  • Do not spit, rinse, or use a straw for the first 24 hours.
  • Avoid intense physical activity and rest as much as possible for the first 24 hours.
  • Avoid brushing your teeth for the first 24 hours, after which you can resume gentle brushing. You can resume flossing your natural teeth after this period, but do not floss the dental implant. Moving forward, you should consider alternative flossing options for your dental implants, such as interdental brushes or oral irrigation.
  • Eat soft foods such as applesauce, yogurt, pudding, or soup for the first two weeks and slowly reintroduce harder foods as the healing process progresses.
  • If your dentures are removable, be sure to continue cleaning them daily and maintaining good oral hygiene habits for your remaining teeth.

By following these instructions and continuing to keep your teeth and gums clean, you will enjoy a fast healing process and can return to your normal routine as quickly as possible.
