Permanent Implant-Supported Dentures in Waco, TX
Denture implants, or permanent dentures, are overdentures that are fixed to the gums by dental implants. For patients who are missing the majority of their teeth, permanent dentures are an incredibly lifelike solution.
Do you have a loose-fitting denture that is making you uncomfortable? You can take your replacement smile to new heights with implant supported dentures.
Dental implants are placed into the jaw, where they fuse with the bone itself. Attachments are placed on the underside of your custom-made denture to connect to the dental implants. The denture snaps onto the implants for ultimate security.
Benefits of Denture Implants in Waco, TX
Some of the benefits of anchored dentures include:
- Fresh confidence while you talk, laugh, and eat in public.
- No worries about your replacement teeth slipping or falling out.
- More comfort because snap-on dentures feel as secure as natural teeth.
- More natural-looking restorations than traditional dentures because less plastic is needed for retention.
- No more slurred speech or clicking noises.
- No need to carry around denture adhesives.
We love giving our patients the next best thing to natural teeth in Waco, TX. We provide all of the latest options for denture implants, including full-arch implants, the All-on-4® dentures treatment concept, and even mini dental implants.
About the All-on-4® Treatment Concept
For Waco patients interested in replacing their dentures, Dr. Cutbirth, DDS, can use the All-on-4® treatment concept to guide your implant placement procedure. The process involves an oral surgeon placing 4 implants into a patient’s jaw before attaching a full set of teeth to each implant.
With strategically-placed dental implants, the patient can benefit from having permanent dentures rather than putting up with traditional dentures and the disadvantages that go along with them. To learn more about this treatment concept for dentures supported by dental implants, don’t hesitate to give our dentures dentist a call in Waco, TX.
About Mini Dental Implants
Alternatively, a mini dental implants system can be used to secure dentures and partials into place. In the mini dental implants procedure, small titanium implants are inserted into the jaw and act like teeth roots, securing dentures and partials and preventing them from moving.
With mini dental implants, the tip of the implant is sphere-shaped and holds a rubber O-ring, which fits over an implant ball when the denture is set in place. This structure holds onto the denture similar to the way a snap would on a piece of clothing – except that this connection is much stronger, of course.
The mini dental implants procedure can be used for a patient’s existing dentures or a new set of permanent dentures. One advantage to “mini” implants is that they cost less than using the All-on-4® treatment concept.
