Dentures We Offer

Sometimes, your teeth need a little support as you age. We offer a variety of denture types, including state-of-the-art denture implants, a way to restore your teeth to help them do what they’ve always been able to do: chewing, talking, and smiling.

If you’re looking for dentures, we’ll review each option and consider cost, needs, and oral health. We offer removable dentures, implant dentures, and complete implant-fixed bridges. Learn a little about each option before scheduling your consultation with us:

Removable Denture

The removable denture is the classic option for those who need stronger teeth. You’ll be expected to remove it each night and keep it clean. While this type has a reputation for sliding and not working as well as your natural teeth, we can create a nice-fitting device that allows you to eat a number of foods you couldn’t anymore.

Implant Denture

An implant denture is similar to the traditional removable option. It needs to be removed every night, but it won’t slide like traditional ones because it’s hooked into place with a few dental implants. We recommend this option to a lot of our patients because it’s stronger than its removable counterpart but not quite as expensive as full implant fixed bridges.

Full Implant Fixed Bridges

Don’t want to remove your dentures every night? A full implant fixed bridge is like a stronger version of the implant denture. It’s fixed to your mouth with dental implants, however, it doesn’t need to be removed at night, making this a great option for our patients who don’t want to worry about their teeth falling out.

Can’t Decide? We Can Help

Choosing the right way to restore your smile can be a tricky decision to make. You have to consider the cost and which option works best for your mouth and lifestyle. Schedule an appointment with the Genesis Dental location closest to you! We’ll be happy to walk through each option to find the best fit for you.

Some dentures are only partly covered by dental insurance. In some cases, you’ll find that you’ll save more as part of our loyalty plan, where you’ll get 35% off your dentures. Ask about our loyalty plan at any Genesis Dental location to learn how you can start saving today!

What is the Process?

Implant-supported dentures use dental implants—surgically placed in the jawbone—to provide a sturdy base for artificial teeth. Knowing the steps involved in the placement process is helpful if you are considering getting implant-supported dentures.

Step 1: Consultation and Treatment Planning

The first step in getting implant-supported dentures is consulting your dentist. During this consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health through X-rays and other imaging techniques and review your medical history. This will help determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. Your dentist will also discuss the different types of implant dentures and help you choose the best option for your needs.

Step 2: Preparatory Procedures

If you have any existing dental issues, such as tooth decay or gum disease, we will need to address them before proceeding with the placement of dental implants. This may involve tooth extractions, bone grafting, or periodontal treatment.

Step 3: Implant Placement Surgery

The next step is the surgical placement of dental implants in the jawbone. This is typically done under local anesthesia, although sedation options are available for those who experience anxiety during dental procedures. During this surgery, small incisions are made in the gums to expose the jawbone where we will place the implants. The implants are then carefully inserted into the jawbone and left to heal over several months.

Step 4: Healing and Osseointegration

The healing process after implant placement is crucial to the success of your implant-supported dentures. During this time, the bone surrounding the implants will gradually fuse with them in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for the artificial teeth that will be attached to the implants later.

Step 5: Creating Impressions and Prosthesis Design

Once your dental implants have fully healed and integrated with your jawbone, your dentist will take impressions of your mouth to create molds for your new dentures. These impressions help determine your artificial teeth’ size, shape, and position. Your prosthesis will be custom-made to fit perfectly in your mouth for maximum comfort and functionality.

Step 6: Placement of Dentures

The final step in the implant denture placement is attaching the dentures to the implants. This involves securing a metal frame or bar onto the implants, which serves as an anchor for your new dentures. The dentures are then snapped or screwed into this framework, providing a secure fit that can withstand regular chewing forces.

Once we place your new implant-supported dentures, your dentist will ensure they fit correctly and make any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and function.

Aftercare:

Proper aftercare is essential for maintaining the longevity of your implant-supported dentures. Your dentist will provide instructions on how to care for your dentures and implants, including proper oral hygiene practices and regular check-ups to monitor the health of your implants.
