What Is Implant-Supported Dentures?

An implant-supported denture uses dental implants placed surgically in the jawbone to attach to the denture so it remains fixed. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and need adhesive to stay in place. Implant-supported dentures attach to the gum with the implants. This keeps them stable, avoiding slipping or shifting.
It is a treatment that works for those missing all teeth on the upper or lower jaw but who still have good jawbone.

Our Implant-Supported Denture Process in Toronto

Our team educates you about your oral health, answers all your questions, and helps you move through the process of getting implant-supported dentures without worry. Below are the steps in the process.
Consultation and Planning

We will do a thorough evaluation, including 3D imaging (CBCT scan), to assess your jawbone density and overall oral health before starting the implant-supported denture treatment. We will take time to answer your questions and discuss our findings with you.

Implant Placement

The dental implants, which are small titanium posts, will be surgically placed into your jawbone. We start with numbing the area with local anesthesia but also have sedation for those who need it for more comfort.

Healing and Osseointegration

With any dental implant, it takes a few months of healing before moving to the step of attaching your denture. The implants will fuse with your bone in a process called osseointegration. We will monitor this and your healing. You will be given a temporary denture during the healing process.

New Denture Attachment

After the gum heals, we attach abutments or connectors to your implants. You will have custom-made dentures that will attach to the connectors ad it will snap into place. We make final fitting adjustments for a comfortable fit.

Both are excellent implant solutions. An implant-supported denture is can be removed by snapping it on and off. This makes it easy to clean while an All-on-4 are permanently set in your mouth. An implant-supported denture uses two to four implants while the All-on-4 solution uses four implants.
We use local anesthesia for the implant placement surgery so you will feel no pain. There can be some mild discomfort after the surgery but it can be managed.
Caring for an implant-supported denture is simple. You will remove the denture daily – typically at night – for cleaning. It should be brushed and soaked. You must also clean around the implants and abutments in your mouth to maintain healthy gums. We will provide you with specific instructions and tools.
The timeline is different for everyone because the healing process can vary. Generally, it takes between four to eight months to complete the process of getting implants and your dentures.
Maybe. The right candidate is someone missing all of a teeth arch, who is healthy, and has good bone in the jaw. We can provide a bone graft for those with jawbone loss. The only way to know if you are a good candidate for this procedure is to schedule a consultation.
