Innovative Denture Solutions
At DentalZone, we specialize in implant-supported dentures that merge the robustness of dental implants with the ease of removable prosthetics. Our dedicated team, under the guidance of Dr. Kurosch Hatami and associates, delivers secure and comfortable tooth replacement alternatives to patients. These advanced prosthetics are anchored to precisely positioned implants, significantly minimizing the movement and discomfort that often accompany traditional dentures.
Advantages of Implant-Integrated Dentures
Implant-supported dentures provide enhanced stability while eating and speaking, surpassing the performance of standard dentures. The implant anchors ensure minimal movement, empowering patients to savor a broader range of foods with assurance. Furthermore, these prosthetics maintain jawbone integrity by stimulating bone growth through the implant posts, thereby preventing the facial sagging commonly associated with conventional dentures.
- Improved chewing capability and bite strength
- Enhanced clarity of speech and pronunciation
- Less gum irritation and discomfort
- Long-term bone retention and facial contour support
Procedure Overview and Implant Placement
The journey to obtaining implant-supported dentures begins with a thorough assessment of your bone density and oral health. Our dentists will insert titanium implants into the jawbone, which will fuse with the bone tissue over a period of several months. After the healing phase, custom dentures are created with unique attachments that securely snap onto the implant posts. This two-step process guarantees maximum stability and an accurate fit tailored to each patient’s specific oral structure.
Discover how implant-supported dentures can rejuvenate both the functionality and aesthetics of your smile with enduring stability. Our team is ready to conduct detailed consultations to determine if this transformative treatment aligns with your needs. Call 650-858-2028 for further information.
Common Inquiries Regarding Implant-Supported Dentures
How many implants are necessary for implant-supported dentures?
Typically, patients need between four to six implants per arch, but the precise number is contingent on factors such as bone density, jaw size, and individual anatomical considerations assessed during your consultation.
What is the recovery time following implant placement?
The integration of implants generally spans three to six months, during which temporary dentures may be used while the titanium posts bond with the jawbone.
Can current dentures be adapted to become implant-supported?
Many existing dentures can undergo modifications to attach to implants, though new prosthetics are often suggested for optimal compatibility and performance with the implant system.
What cleaning routine should I follow for implant-supported dentures?
It is vital to remove them daily for thorough cleaning using denture cleanser and to gently brush the implant posts and adjacent gum tissue to maintain excellent oral health.
