Implant dentures provide numerous benefits over traditional dentures, including:
The implants act as strong roots that firmly anchor the dentures, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile confidently without worrying about your dentures shifting or falling out.
Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent bone loss and maintaining facial structure and oral health.
Although secured by implants, these dentures can be designed to be removable, facilitating easy cleaning and upkeep.
Each set of dentures is custom-made to match your facial aesthetics and desired look, providing a natural and appealing appearance.
Your journey toward a new smile begins with a comprehensive consultation at Wojtowicz Dental. During this visit, we assess your oral health, discuss your dental goals, and determine if implant dentures are your best option.
This initial meeting is crucial for setting expectations and planning the treatment process. Our team will also explain implant dentures' benefits and potential risks to ensure you are fully informed.
The next step involves the surgical placement of dental implants into your jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Depending on the number of implants needed, this can vary from a single session to multiple appointments. Our skilled surgeons use precise techniques to minimize discomfort and promote quick healing.
After the implants are placed, a healing period is required to allow osseointegration, where the jawbone naturally integrates with the titanium implants.
This process is crucial for the stability of the dentures. It's important to follow all post-operative care instructions to ensure successful healing during this time. You might experience some swelling and discomfort, which are normal and can be managed with medications prescribed by your dentist.
Once healing is complete, you will return to our office to fit your new dentures. We may make several adjustments to ensure your new teeth fit perfectly and comfortably. During these appointments, we check for any pressure points or misalignments and adjust the dentures accordingly. This step may require several visits to fine-tune the fit and ensure optimal comfort and functionality.
When your custom dentures are ready, and adjustments are finalized, they are securely attached to the implants. This final step restores full functionality and aesthetics to your smile. Now, you can enjoy a renewed ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. We will also guide you on how to care for your new dentures and maintain optimal oral hygiene.
