Our Services > Implant Supported Dentures

Why Choose Implant Supported Dentures?

Many patients find implant supported dentures life-changing because they offer:

• Stability and Comfort: No more slipping or discomfort. The secure placement allows normal chewing, speaking, and smiling with complete confidence.
• Bone Health Benefits: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone deterioration that often occurs with tooth loss. This makes them a vital component of advanced periodontal care.
• A Natural Look and Feel: The dentures are designed to blend perfectly with your existing teeth for a flawless appearance.
• Long-Term Durability: With proper care, implant supported dentures can last for decades, making them a worthwhile investment in your dental health and overall restorative dental services.

How Implant Supported Dentures Work

Understanding the process can help ease any concerns about the treatment. At Utah Dental Center, our experienced and compassionate team is dedicated to ensuring a seamless, comfortable experience from start to finish. Implant supported dentures provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for missing teeth, giving you the confidence to smile, eat, and speak with ease.

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Planning

Every journey begins with a personalized consultation. Our team takes a custom approach, starting with a thorough oral health assessment. Using state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology, we’ll evaluate your jawbone density, take precise impressions of your mouth, and discuss your goals and concerns. This allows us to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs, ensuring optimal comfort and function. We’ll also address any necessary periodontal treatments to provide the best outcomes.

Step 2: Implant Placement Surgery

Once the treatment plan is finalized, the next step is placing the dental implants. Small titanium implants are carefully inserted into your jawbone using minimally invasive techniques to serve as artificial tooth roots. These implants provide a strong and stable foundation for your dentures. Over the next few months, a process called osseointegration occurs, where the implants fuse with the bone to create a secure and permanent base. During this healing phase, we’ll keep your periodontal health in check and monitor progress closely.

Step 3: Attaching the Dentures

Once the implants have fully bonded with your jawbone, we fit and secure your custom dentures. Each set is meticulously crafted to ensure a precise fit and a natural appearance, seamlessly complementing your existing teeth and facial features. The outcome is a secure, comfortable solution that restores not only your smile but also your confidence in chewing and speaking with ease.

Step 4: Aftercare and Maintenance

Caring for your implant-supported dentures is straightforward. We’ll provide you with detailed instructions on maintaining your oral hygiene. Regular dental visits, including periodontal health checks, are crucial for the longevity of your implants and dentures. With proper care, your new smile can last for many years.
