Tooth loss due to decay, age, or other factors can impact a person’s quality of life. When tooth loss is substantial, day-to-day tasks like eating or speaking can become difficult or impossible. Modern dentistry offers many levels of options for patients with considerable tooth loss, including implants, dentures, and implant-supported dentures. 

Implant-supported dentures, or implant overdentures, offer patients an affordable option between implants and traditional dentures. If you’re considering implant-supported dentures in Rochester, NY, let Adina Family Dental Care be your guide during your dental restoration process

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures? 

When it comes to the restoration of multiple teeth, patients have options. Implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth that involve the surgical placement of posts or anchors. Unfortunately, while implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth, they can be expensive and time-consuming.

Dentures are removable, non-permanent replacements for missing teeth. Due to the single-piece construction of dentures, these devices can be more affordable than other tooth replacement options. However, dentures lack the customization and stability of implants, meaning patients may experience discomfort, struggle to eat certain foods, or require bonding agents for everyday wear.

Implant-supported dentures combine the simple, affordable construction of traditional dentures with the stability and security of dental implants. These devices quickly and securely replace entire sets of teeth, reducing dental visits and medical costs for qualifying patients. 

Who Qualifies for Implant-Supported Dentures?

While implant-supported dentures are affordable and comfortable, this option may not be for everyone. In addition, these dentures still carry a considerable financial obligation and require multiple trips to the dentist for safe installation and ideal comfort. 

Some patients may not qualify for implant-supported dentures for other reasons. Because these tooth replacement solutions require surgically implanted pins, patients with substantial bone loss in the jaw may lack the necessary support structures. If you’re considering solutions for lost teeth, a dental professional can guide you to the teeth replacement options that will work best for you. 

IMPLANT-SUPPORTED DENTURE PROCEDURE

Every professional dental procedure begins with a thorough dental examination. Dental professionals perform a visual inspection of teeth, gums, and supporting structures, take digital x-rays, and more to determine the current state of a patient’s dental health. 

When a dental professional has determined that a patient is a good candidate for implant-supported dentures, the next step is performing any necessary restorative procedures. A tooth cleaning, fillings, extractions, or other procedures may be required. 

Once the patient is in optimal dental health, supportive posts are surgically anchored into the patient’s gums at specific locations. The gums will heal during a brief healing period, locking them securely in place. During this healing period, dental professionals construct custom-fitting denture pieces, which are then installed onto the pins.

Cost and Upkeep

Cost

While implants carry a higher price than dentures, they offer more security and comfort than traditional dentures. Therefore, Adina Family Dental Care will only recommend implant-supported dentures for patients who qualify, need, and can afford the procedure. Cost estimates for implant-supported dentures in Rochester, NY, depend on many factors, including:

  •     Number of dental pin implants needed
  •     Any treatments necessary before implant-supported dentures
  •     Number and type of denture prosthetics needed 
  •     Materials used
  •     Anesthesia fees
  •     And more

Dental professionals may recommend even more affordable solutions for patients with minimal tooth loss or limited budgets, including a dental bridge or single implant. 

Upkeep

Adina Family Dental Care designs implant-supported dentures to mimic teeth. Since these dentures are permanent, there is no need to remove them for cleaning. Instead, brush and floss as usual to promote continued oral health. 

As with natural teeth, it’s important to schedule regular cleanings as part of proper care for your implant-supported dentures. Generally, twice a year is ideal. Dental professionals will check your prosthetic for proper fit during each visit and adjust as needed.
