Implant-Supported Dentures
in Texarkana, TX
If you are looking for a more stable and secure alternative to traditional dentures, you may want to consider removable implant-supported dentures, also known as overdentures. These superior tooth replacement options offer exceptional stability, comfort, and function, enhancing your smile and quality of life. Dr. McCatty and his team at Texarkana Denture & Implant Studio are dedicated to providing exceptional care and cutting-edge smile solutions right here at our state-of-the-art facility.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Traditional complete dentures offer a cost-effective solution for replacing a full arch of missing teeth. However, they sometimes shift or slip at the most awkward times, especially the lower ones. Implant-supported dentures draw on the benefits of traditional dentures and implant dentistry. These removable overdentures snap onto as few as two dental implants, which hold them securely in place. They offer a durable, aesthetic, and functional solution to restore your complete smile.
What Is the Implant-Supported Denture Process?
Before placing your implants to stabilize your dentures, Dr. McCatty will numb the area using a local anesthetic for your comfort. He is also happy to offer treatment under oral sedation as a complimentary service, if needed, to help you relax while receiving the highest-quality care.
Once the area is numb and you are comfortable, Dr. McCatty will place several screw-shaped titanium posts into your jawbone to support your dentures. Over the following months, your new implants will integrate with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, providing incredibly stable support for your complete dentures. For patients with existing or healthy gums, the entire process typically requires 3-6 months.
What Are the Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures?
- They are incredibly stable and secure, giving you the confidence that they will not shift or tilt in social situations.
- They help stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically follows tooth loss.
- They mimic the function of natural teeth, allowing you to eat with comfort, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.
- They support your facial structure, preventing a sunken appearance and maintaining your youthful contours.
- They offer an effective, reliable, and long-term solution for full-arch tooth replacement.
- They can last a lifetime with good home oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings.
Our Implant-Supported Denture Package
We offer a comprehensive package that includes extracting any failing teeth, placing your dental implants, and providing you with interim dentures, with complimentary adjustments during the healing period.
After the area has fully healed and your implants have integrated with your jawbone, we will meticulously craft high-quality overdentures that snap onto your implants, providing exceptional stability and security. The entire process, from tooth extraction to placing your overdentures, typically takes 6-9 months, depending on your unique needs.
