At The Plano Dentist, we are proud to help patients regain their smiles and confidence with advanced restorative dentistry solutions. For those experiencing severe tooth loss, dental implants and implant-supported dentures offer transformative results.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are durable, functional, and natural-looking restorations that replace missing teeth. Here’s how they work:
- Sturdy Tooth Roots: Dental implants replace the root of a missing tooth with a titanium post anchored securely into the jawbone.
- Versatile Foundation: Implants can support individual crowns, bridges, or dentures for a stable and comfortable fit.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures combine the convenience of traditional dentures with the stability of dental implants. These dentures attach securely to implants placed in the jawbone, offering a reliable and comfortable solution for those missing most or all of their teeth.
A Restorative Dentistry Success Story
Let’s explore the story of a patient, “David,” who transformed his life with implant-supported dentures:
- Dental Challenges: David, in his 50s, suffered severe tooth loss due to injuries and dental issues over the years. Traditional dentures caused discomfort and limited his ability to eat and socialize confidently.
- Seeking a Solution: David visited The Plano Dentist for a consultation. Our team recommended implant-supported dentures as the ideal solution for his needs.
The Restorative Process
- Implant Placement:
David had eight implants placed—four on the upper arch and four on the lower. Using advanced 3D imaging, our team determined the precise placement to ensure optimal results. - Healing and Osseointegration:
During the healing phase, the implants fused with his jawbone, creating a strong foundation. Temporary dentures were provided to avoid pressure on the implants. - Custom Denture Design:
Using 3D technology, we designed two custom dentures with attachments to connect securely to the implants. - Final Fit and Smile Reveal:
Once healing was complete, the custom dentures were attached. David couldn’t believe the difference—his smile was restored, and his dentures functioned just like natural teeth.
Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures offer significant benefits, including:
- Improved comfort and stability
- Enhanced ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently
- A secure fit that prevents slipping or discomfort
- Long-lasting results with proper care
