Implant Supported Teeth

What Are Implant Supported Teeth

Implant-supported teeth, sometimes referred to as fixed dentures, All-on-4 ® Dental Implants, or Teeth in a Day all refer to similar dental procedures where a denture is attached to 4 to 6 implants inserted into the upper and lower jawbone. This hybrid approach to restoring missing teeth combines the benefits of a prosthetic denture and an implant that has many benefits to traditional dentures. In most cases, the implant-supported teeth can be placed immediately, typically within 24 hours of surgery.

This treatment is ideal for patients who cannot get conventional implants due to bone loss, patients with no teeth, broken teeth, tooth decay, or teeth weakened from gum disease. Unlike traditional dentures and bridges, which can be uncomfortable and unstable, implant-supported dentures are secured to the jawbone to provide a more permanent and stable solution. The implant procedures available at Phillips & Schmitt Dentistry have many benefits for their patients:

  • Comfortable and natural-looking teeth
  • Improved chewing and speaking
  • Restored structure of the face
  • Stopping gum recession and bone loss

Implant-supported teeth offer a secure, long-lasting solution

The implant posts are very durable and will withstand chewing demands. The implant technology fuses with the bone during healing to further create a strong bond, making implant dentures an excellent option for those seeking a permanent and stable alternative to traditional dentures. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures won’t shift or slip. These dentures are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile comfortably.

With the correct care routine, implant-supported teeth are designed to last a lifetime as they do not stain or break as easily as removable acrylic dentures or require refitting. For individuals looking to restore their full smile with lasting results, Phillips & Schmitt Dentistry can help you with denture implants that will give you superior comfort and functionality.

Fixed dentures eliminate the need for adhesives

One of the biggest advantages of implant-supported teeth is that they don’t require the messy adhesives that traditional dentures rely on. Fixed denture implants are permanently attached, allowing for greater comfort and ease of use. This stability can drastically improve your overall oral health and quality of life by eliminating nagging thoughts about your dentures coming out of shifting while you are speaking or eating. With no need for removal, you can enjoy the convenience of dentures that stay securely in place throughout the day.

Regain your natural bite with implant-supported teeth

Eating your favorite foods shouldn’t be a challenge, and implant dentures can help make that possible. Because they are firmly anchored, these dentures restore much of the biting force that traditional dentures lack. With hybrid implant dentures, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods without worrying about discomfort or slippage. The implants inserted in the jawbone also prevent continued bone loss that can happen with traditional dentures, allowing you to maintain your jawbone structure, which is important to your appearance and the overall health of your mouth. These dentures do not cover the roof of your mouth like classic dentures, adding to the natural experience. Whether it’s getting your smile back, talking with ease, or biting into an apple, fixed dentures allow for a more natural and functional mouth.

The procedure for Implant Supported Teeth

The procedure for implant-supported teeth is typically completed in several stages. First, any necessary preparatory procedures, such as a dental bone graft to build up the jawbone before placing the implants. This process helps to create a strong foundation, ensuring the longevity and success of the implant treatment. Then, the dental implants are placed, and after a healing period, the custom prosthetic arch is attached. This process results in a set of teeth that look, feel, and function like natural ones, providing you with a long-lasting and comfortable solution to tooth loss.
