Can Implant-Supported Dentures Restore My Smile’s Functionality?
Stability, a natural attribute of real teeth, can also be found in implants. Implant-supported dentures are just as secure and stable as real teeth because they’re anchored in place by artificial tooth roots. If you’re considering implants to replace most or all of your teeth, we invite you to visit Newport Smiles in Newport Beach, California, to learn more about our implant treatments. Dr. Aarti Puri answers your questions about implant-supported dentures and is here to help you decide if they’re a good fit for you.
What are dental implants?
Implants are small titanium posts placed in your jaw to function like tooth roots. They’re used to support artificial teeth after your natural teeth go missing.
What’s involved in getting implants?
Implant treatment entails oral surgery. Dr. Puri will perform surgery to place the dental implants. The implants fuse with the bone tissue around them through osseointegration to become permanent tooth roots. When the implants finally heal, which could be months later, we’ll attach abutments and dentures to make your smile whole again.
Can implant dentures restore my smile’s beauty and function?
For many people, implant-supported dentures are the perfect choice for restoring their smile’s health, beauty, and function. Your new teeth will function and feel like natural teeth, anchored in place by artificial tooth roots. Unlike conventional dentures that tend to slip and shift or come loose, implant supported dentures stay secure and stable in your mouth at all times, even when you bite and chew. You’ll be able to put crispy, crunchy, and chewy foods back on your menu and get more nutritional value from your meals. With implant-supported dentures, you can smile, talk, eat, and laugh again without worrying about your pearly whites coming loose.

Who’s a good candidate for implants?
If you’re healthy enough for oral surgery and have good oral and jawbone health to support implants, you could be a candidate for this treatment. If needed, Dr. Puri can also perform a bone graft to reinforce your jawbone.
Can implant dentures be removed?
Implant-supported dentures can be fixed or removable. Removable implant restorations have the stability of implants for daily use but can be removed at night for soaking and cleaning. Most people prefer fixed implant dentures that permanently restore their smile’s original state.
How long do implants last?
With adequate care, implants can last a lifetime, and quality dentures can last up to 20 years. Fixed implant dentures are brushed and flossed, just like real teeth. Through biannual checkups and cleanings, Dr. Puri can help your new teeth stay in great shape long-term.
