How Do Denture Supported Implants Work?
Denture supported implants involve placing dental implants into the jawbone and attaching them to a denture. The denture is specially designed to snap onto the implants, providing a stable and secure fit. This helps prevent slipping and shifting of the denture, which can be a common issue with traditional dentures.
One of the main benefits of denture supported implants is that they provide a more stable and secure option compared to traditional dentures. This can improve your speech and chewing function, and also eliminate the need for adhesives or messy denture creams.
Additionally, denture supported implants can help preserve your facial appearance and prevent bone loss. When you lose teeth, the surrounding bone tissue can begin to deteriorate, leading to a sunken and aged appearance. Implants help prevent this bone loss and preserve your facial structure.
Another advantage of denture supported implants is that they can provide long-lasting results that can help improve your oral health and overall quality of life. With proper care, your implants can last for many years, making it a cost-effective and practical option for many patients.

Denture Supported Dental Implant Process
1
Initial Examination
The first step in the process is an initial examination by your dentist. During this examination, the dentist will evaluate your overall dental health and determine if you are a good candidate for the implants.
2
Installing the Implants
Once you have been cleared for the procedure, the implants will be installed. The dentist will make a small incision in the gum tissue and drill a hole in the jawbone where the implants will be placed. The number of implants needed will depend on the patient's individual needs.
3
Attaching the Denture
After the implants have fused with the jawbone, the next step is to attach the denture. The denture is specially designed to snap onto the implants, providing a stable and secure fit. The dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the denture fits comfortably and securely.
4
Recovery
The end result of denture supported implants is a stable and secure denture that functions more like natural teeth. With proper care and maintenance, the implants can last for many years, making it a cost-effective and practical option for many patients. It is important to continue with your usual dental hygiene routine to keep the denture and gum around it clean and healthy. Your dentist will also schedule regular check-ups to ensure that the implants are functioning properly and to address any concerns or issues that may arise.
Frequently Asked Questions About Denture Supported Implants
At Barsoum Dental, we understand that you may have concerns about dental implants. Here are some frequently asked questions to assist you in making an informed decision:
Denture-Supported Implants are a dental restoration option for patients who wear dentures and are looking for a more stable and comfortable solution. The procedure involves placing two or more dental implants into the jawbone and attaching a custom-made denture to the implants, providing a stable and secure foundation for your dentures.
The process of getting Denture-Supported Implants can take several months, depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. After the implants are placed, the jawbone needs time to heal and fuse with the implants, which can take several weeks to several months. Once the implants have integrated with the jawbone, a customized denture is attached, which typically takes a few appointments to complete.
The procedure for getting Denture-Supported Implants is generally not painful, as it is performed under local anesthesia. You may experience some discomfort or soreness in the days following the procedure, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Caring for your Denture-Supported Implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. It is important to brush and clean your denture and implants regularly and to schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods, and don't use your dentures to open packages or bottles, as this can damage your implants. With proper care, your Denture-Supported Implants can last for many years, providing you with a stable and comfortable solution for your dentures.
