Implant-supported dentures in North Palm Beach combine the comprehensive tooth replacement of a traditional denture with the functionality and stability of dental implants, offering a secure and comfortable solution for patients missing multiple teeth.
What Are Implant Dentures?
At May Dentistry, we offer implant-supported dentures that work by attaching a custom-made denture to dental implants surgically placed in your jawbone. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on your gums, this appliance connects to implants via specialized attachments, creating a secure foundation that prevents slipping or movement.
The process typically begins with a comprehensive evaluation, during which Dr. May assesses your oral health and jawbone density. Generally, 2-6 implants are strategically placed in the jaw by a local specialist during surgery. After 3-6 months of healing, the implants fuse with your jawbone (osseointegration), attachments are added to the implants, and your custom denture is secured to these connections.
This innovative solution offers numerous advantages over traditional dentures, including improved stability when eating and speaking, prevention of bone loss, elimination of messy adhesives, and a more natural look and feel. Many patients report increased confidence and quality of life after receiving implant-supported dentures.
