For patients seeking greater stability than traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures offer a dependable solution for restoring comfort and confidence. At Michael K. Bassiri DDS, Dr. Michael K. Bassiri provides implant-supported denture restorations designed to improve fit, function, and overall quality of life.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are dentures that attach to dental implants placed in the jaw by a surgical specialist. Once the implants have healed, the denture is secured to them, reducing movement and improving stability. This approach allows dentures to feel more secure during eating and speaking compared to conventional removable dentures.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
- Improved stability and reduced slipping
- Greater comfort while eating and speaking
- Enhanced confidence in daily activities
- Better distribution of bite forces
- Long-term durability with proper care
The Treatment Process
The process begins with a consultation at Michael K. Bassiri DDS, where Dr. Michael K. Bassiri evaluates your oral health and discusses whether implant-supported dentures are appropriate for your needs. If you are a candidate, you will be referred to a trusted surgical specialist for implant placement. After healing, your denture is custom-designed and securely attached to the implants.
Adjusting to Implant-Supported Dentures
Most patients adapt quickly to implant-supported dentures. Because they are more stable than traditional dentures, many patients report improved comfort and confidence. Follow-up visits allow for adjustments to ensure optimal fit.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper cleaning and routine dental visits are essential to maintain implant-supported dentures. Dr. Michael K. Bassiri will provide guidance on daily care and long-term maintenance.
