Implant-Supported Dentures

The Visual Benefits

Implant-supported dentures significantly enhance the appearance of your smile. These dentures provide a stable, secure fit that prevents shifting, offering a natural look. Unlike traditional removable dentures, which may look bulky or feel out of place, implant-supported dentures blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring your smile to its full potential. 

With the support of titanium implants, these dentures maintain their position, ensuring they stay in place while you eat, speak, and laugh. This stability leads to a more confident and beautiful smile, allowing you to enjoy life’s moments without worrying about your dentures shifting or looking unnatural.

The Functional Benefits

Implant-supported dentures restore both the function and comfort of your teeth. These dentures enhance your ability to chew, speak, and smile easily, making everyday activities more natural. The implants prevent slippage by securely anchoring the dentures to your jawbone, unlike traditional removable dentures that can move around. Additionally, implant-supported dentures stimulate your jawbone, which helps prevent bone loss over time, preserving the integrity of your facial structure. 

This functional benefit also contributes to the longevity and durability of your new smile, offering you a reliable solution for years to come. With implant-supported dentures, you can regain the freedom to enjoy food, conversation, and social interactions without concern for discomfort or denture instability.

The Procedure for Implant-Supported Dentures in Pasadena

• Initial Consultation and Assessment: Dr. Tsibel will examine your oral health, review your medical history, and take X-rays or scans to determine if you’re a good candidate for implant-supported dentures.
  
• Customized Treatment Plan: Based on your needs, Dr. Tsibel will create a personalized plan outlining the number of implants needed and the type of dentures that best suit you.
  
• Implant Placement Surgery: Dr. Tsibel will place titanium implants into your jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring a secure foundation for your dentures.
  
• Healing and Osseointegration: The implants will fuse with the jawbone over several months after placement. During this healing phase, you may receive temporary dentures.
  
• Final Denture Placement: Once healed, Dr. Tsibel will attach your custom-made permanent dentures, ensuring a perfect fit and restoring your smile’s function and appearance.
  
• Post-Procedure Care and Maintenance: Dr. Tsibel will provide aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your implants and dentures, ensuring their long-term success.
