Secure Your Smile and Renew Your Confidence with Implant-supported Dentures
Are you tired of ill-fitting dentures? Experience the transformative benefits of implant-supported dentures in East Lansing, Michigan. If you are missing several teeth in one arch or both, rediscover the confidence of restorations that look and feel like natural teeth. Expertly placed at Mashni Dentistry, Implant dentures feel like having your natural teeth back. Eat, smile, laugh, and enjoy life without restrictions.
What are implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the full-arch coverage of dentures, providing a secure and comfortable solution. Instead of resting on your gums, the denture attaches to small titanium posts embedded in your jaw. Typically, the dentist uses four implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. We place two implants at the front and two at the back. The available bone is utilized, allowing patients to achieve a complete smile without needing a bone graft.
Implant-supported dentures can be fixed or removable. Both options offer unparalleled comfort and stability that cannot be matched with conventional dentures. Drs. James and Jason Mashni will recommend the best option based on your unique needs and preferences.
What are the benefits of implant dentures?
Implant-supported dentures offer several outstanding benefits.
Some include:
- Confidence boost: Unlike dentures, dental implants are anchored in the jawbone. The stability feels almost like natural teeth. Talk, eat, and laugh without worrying about your dentures slipping out of place.
- Natural appearance: Your restoration is beautifully designed to look as realistic as possible. Many people won’t realize you have artificial teeth.
- Renewed chewing ability: Eating is one of life’s most pleasurable activities. Unfortunately, tooth loss can significantly diminish your ability to chew. Implant dentures restore your chewing force to near-perfect. That means you can enjoy healthier, more varied meals again. Crunchy vegetables, hearty meats, and favorite snacks become part of your diet once more.
- Jawbone preservation: When you lose teeth, the jawbone begins to shrink. Implants stimulate the bone and help maintain its strength. Jawbone preservation helps keep your facial shape and prevents a sunken, aged appearance.
- Long-term solution: Dental implants are designed to last for many years, potentially a lifetime. Their longevity makes them a fantastic investment despite the high upfront cost.
For many patients with missing teeth, implant dentures feel like a fresh start. Imagine a life without avoiding photos or conversations because of missing teeth! That becomes the new reality with high-quality implant-supported dentures in the East Lansing area.
Do I qualify for implant-supported dentures?
Are you wondering if you are eligible for implant dentures? You may be a candidate if:
- You have lost all or most teeth in one arch or both
- You have multiple failing or non-restorable teeth
- You are tired of poorly fitting dentures
- Your jawbone is healthy enough to support dental implants
- You commit to good oral hygiene to keep your new teeth strong and healthy
During your consultation, we will take 3D scans and examine your oral health to determine your suitability. Most people are candidates. If it’s not an option at this time, it may be a good choice after preliminary care, such as periodontal care or bone grafting (for severe bone loss).
