Our Marina del Rey Implant-Supported Dentures At A Glance
If traditional dentures make you think of that awkward moment when your grandma's teeth slipped mid-sentence, you're not alone. Thankfully, modern dentistry has evolved significantly, and implant-supported dentures are leading the charge.
Unlike traditional dentures that just rest on top of your gums and require adhesives or suction to stay in place, implant-supported dentures are anchored to your jawbone using titanium dental implants. It's a bit like building a house on a foundation instead of just setting up a tent - way sturdier, more comfortable, and a great confidence booster.
These implants are available as fixed or removable. Fixed dentures are, well, fixed. They're screwed in place and only removable by your dentist. Removable ones allow you to click them in and out, offering a bit more flexibility depending on your preference. Both types offer incredible support, improved functionality, and a beautiful, natural-looking smile that traditional dentures simply don't live up to.
You'll also notice a major upgrade in your ability to chew, speak, and smile without second-guessing yourself. Because the implants stimulate your jawbone, they can even prevent the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss, helping you maintain your natural face shape over time.
On the emotional side, patients often report a huge boost in confidence. When your smile looks and feels amazing, it shows. You might even start volunteering for group photos again.
You might be a great candidate for this treatment if you are missing some (or even all) of your teeth. With our implant-supported dentures Marina del Rey patients who are frustrated with traditional dentures or want a more stable, permanent option are especially ideal for the procedure.
That said, there are some additional criteria that you'll have to meet. You'll need to have enough healthy bone in your jaw to support the implants. If not, a bone graft may be recommended first. Good oral hygiene habits and general health also play a role, as healing is a key part of the process.
Age isn't usually a limiting factor (we see patients in their 30s through their 80s), but certain medical conditions like a history of radiation therapy to the jaw or uncontrolled diabetes may need to be evaluated closely before moving forward.
Your consultation will include a thorough 3D scan of your mouth. Once it's decided that you're a candidate, we'll schedule your implant surgery. During the procedure, small titanium posts are placed into your jawbone. Don't worry, you'll be comfortably numbed or sedated, depending on your needs.
Over the next few months, those implants will fuse with your jawbone through osseointegration. It sounds technical, but it basically means your jaw is hugging those implants tightly to create a solid foundation.
Once healed, we'll attach your custom-designed denture, crafted to fit your mouth like a glove and match your natural look. Whether you choose a fixed or removable version, you'll leave the office with a smile you'll actually want to show off.
After the initial implant placement, most patients experience some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort for a few days. We'll send you home with detailed instructions and check in to make sure everything is healing beautifully.
As the implants integrate with your jawbone, eating soft foods and following good hygiene practices is important. Once your implants are attached, you'll be able to enjoy your favorite foods and resume your regular routines.
Regular cleanings and checkups are necessary to keep everything in tip-top shape. We'll also show you how to clean around your implants and make sure your new teeth stay looking (and working) their best.
