Implant Dentures
Wylie, Texas
For patients missing an entire arch of teeth, implant-supported dentures offer a secure replacement option. These prosthetics are anchored to the jaw using mini implants, providing stability that traditional removable dentures cannot match.
How They Work
The dentist numbs the treatment area, then places mini implants securely into the jawbone. Attachments within the denture’s underside connect to these implants, allowing the denture to snap firmly into place. Surgery typically requires one to three hours, with manageable post-operative discomfort. Patients should consume soft foods during the healing phase, which may extend to three months.
