Implant Supported Dentures Edmonton
A Stable, Comfortable Solution for Missing Teeth
If you're missing several teeth and looking for a long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures could be the right choice. These dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in your jawbone, offering enhanced stability and comfort. You can smile, chew, and speak with confidence—no slipping or shifting.
Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?
Compared to conventional dentures, implant-supported dentures offer a number of important benefits:
- Improved speech and easier chewing
- Eat what you love—no dietary restrictions
- Secure fit that doesn’t move or require adhesive
- More natural-looking smile and facial support
- Helps prevent bone loss and supports jawbone health
- Easy maintenance—brush and floss like natural teeth
- Longer-lasting than removable dentures
- No sore spots or gum irritation
What to Expect: The Treatment Process
Getting implant-supported dentures is a multi-step process, customized to your unique needs. Here's a general overview:
-
Consultation & Exam
We begin with a comprehensive exam that includes impressions, digital X-rays, and possibly a 3D CT scan. This helps us assess your jawbone health and create a personalized treatment plan. While your implants heal, you’ll wear a temporary denture.
-
Implant Surgery
Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. These titanium posts act as replacement tooth roots. Healing usually takes 3 to 6 months, during which the implants integrate with your bone in a process called osseointegration.
-
Healing Caps & Abutments
Once the implants have fused, a second minor procedure places healing caps and abutments, which prepare your mouth for the final denture. This step typically requires 10–14 days of healing.
-
Final Denture Placement
A custom denture is created to securely attach to the implants, often via a bar or locator attachments. Once everything fits perfectly, your permanent denture is placed—and your smile is restored.
Caring for Your Implant Dentures
Maintaining your implant-supported dentures is simple. Brush and floss twice daily, just as you would with natural teeth. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings are essential to keep your gums and implants healthy. After the healing period, you’ll be free to enjoy your favourite foods without worry.
