Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-Supported Dentures
If you’re tired of dealing with loose or uncomfortable dentures that slip while eating or speaking, implant-supported dentures may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Unlike traditional removable dentures, implant-supported dentures are secured in place using dental implants, providing a stable, long-lasting foundation that mimics the function of natural teeth.
At Dr. Samad’s clinic, we offer customized implant-supported denture solutions designed to restore your smile, confidence, and quality of life. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to age, injury, or gum disease, Dr. Samad’s expertise in implantology ensures you’ll receive a functional and beautiful smile.
What are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are full or partial dentures that are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. These dentures can be removable (snap-on) or fixed (permanent), offering enhanced stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures
Types of Implant-Supported Dentures Offered by Dr. Samad
1. Fixed Implant-Supported Dentures (Hybrid Prosthesis)
These are permanently secured to the implants and can only be removed by a dentist. They provide the feel and function of natural teeth, making them ideal for patients seeking a permanent solution.
2. Removable Implant-Supported Dentures (Overdentures)
These dentures snap onto the implants but can be removed by the patient for cleaning. They offer a secure fit while maintaining some flexibility for daily care.
Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?
- Improved Stability: No more slipping or shifting dentures while eating or speaking.
- Restored Chewing Function: Enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort or limitations.
- Preserve Bone Health: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining your facial structure.
- Increased Confidence: A secure, natural-looking smile can improve your social and professional life.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last many years without needing frequent adjustments.
Who Can Benefit from Implant-Supported Dentures?
- Patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in the upper or lower arch.
- Patients with loose or uncomfortable traditional dentures.
- Individuals seeking a more secure and permanent tooth replacement option.
- Patients who want to prevent further bone loss and maintain their facial structure.
The Implant-Supported Denture Process with Dr. Samad
1. Consultation and Diagnosis
The process begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Samad evaluates your oral health using 3D imaging and CBCT scans. This helps determine the condition of your jawbone and the optimal placement of the implants.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your unique needs, Dr. Samad creates a customized treatment plan outlining the type and number of implants required and the design of your implant-supported dentures.
3. Implant Placement
- Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, with sedation options available for your comfort.
- Implant Insertion: 2 to 6 implants are placed strategically in the jawbone to provide maximum support.
- Temporary Dentures: In many cases, a temporary set of dentures is provided for use during the healing period.
4. Osseointegration (Healing Phase)
Over the next 3–6 months, the implants fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation.
5. Final Denture Placement
Once healing is complete, the final custom-made implant-supported denture is attached. These dentures are designed to match the natural color, shape, and size of your teeth for a seamless, beautiful smile.
Is the Implant-Supported Denture Procedure Painful?
With modern anesthesia techniques and Dr. Samad’s minimally invasive approach, the procedure is virtually painless. Patients typically experience mild swelling or soreness after the procedure, which subsides within a few days and can be managed with prescribed painkillers and aftercare instructions.
