Secure Your Smile and Confidence with Implant-supported Dentures
Do you want a more reliable and predictable solution for missing teeth? Implant-supported dentures in Chicago, Illinois, could be perfect for you. Unlike traditional dentures saddled on the gums, implant-supported dentures are anchored by titanium posts placed in the jawbone to give you the stability and function you need when eating, talking, or smiling.
If implant dentures are the right solution, schedule an appointment with A Brush Above Family Dentistry. Drs. Marcella Guzman, Phillip Fidel, Rosa Sinno, and Irbad Chowdhury blend technical skills with cutting-edge technology to create high-quality implant-based restorations.
What are implant-supported dentures?
When you have lost multiple teeth, you deserve teeth replacements that are stable, comfortable, and natural-looking. While old-fashioned dentures work, they have flaws that become pronounced as the jawbone copes with tooth loss. Over time, traditional dentures can be uncomfortable or slip and fall out when eating, talking, or laughing.
Implant dentures overcome the flaws of conventional dentures by incorporating dental titanium fixtures in their treatment. The dentures lock into the mouth thanks to dental implants surgically placed at precise locations in the jawbone. Often, the dentist uses 4-6 implants per arch to ensure your treatment is affordable and less invasive.
Implant-supported dentures can be removable or fixed. Removable dentures are ideal for patients who want restorations that function like teeth but can be removed for maintenance. These dentures snap on the implants using special attachments. However, many patients love fixed dentures because they work and are maintained like natural teeth.Â
How do implant dentures work?
It all starts with a consultation with our dental team. We use digital scans, photos, and X-rays of your mouth to design a treatment plan that suits your unique needs. Unlike traditional implants, patients rarely need bone grafting. The dentist maximizes the available bone by carefully placing the implants at strategic angles and positions, ensuring optimal support and stability for the restoration.
Once our oral surgeon, Dr. Chowdhury, places the implants, we’ll put a temporary restoration to maintain your aesthetics and function as your implants heal. Over the next few months, new bone cells will form around the implants, ensuring they are stable enough to support your replacement teeth. Â
The final step is replacing your temporary restoration with a custom-made denture. Your new teeth dramatically improve your looks, and they’ll never slip or fall out when you’re eating or smiling.
