What Are Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures are full dentures supported by dental implants rather than resting solely on your gums. This secure foundation prevents slipping and makes chewing, speaking, and smiling easier. At our Rockville dental office, Dr. Modarres designs implant dentures to look and feel like a natural smile that belongs to you.
They can be permanently fixed in place or made removable, depending on your needs. These restorations combine the stability of implants with the full-arch replacement of dentures for a truly life-changing result.
Fixed/Permanent Implant Dentures
Permanent implant dentures are securely attached to four to six well-placed dental implants and can only be removed by our team. They offer the closest feel to natural teeth from root to crown, making them ideal for everyday confidence. Many patients choose fixed dentures because they give peace of mind.
Removable Implant Dentures
Also called “snap-on” dentures, these prosthetics click into place on top of dental implants using clips, bars, or ball sockets. However, unlike fixed implant dentures, these can be removed for cleaning. They combine bite security with the flexibility of easy maintenance.
The Implant Denture Procedure
So, how does your smile go from vacant to secure with implanted dentures? It all starts with a consultation at Rockville Family Dentistry, where Dr. Modarres evaluates your oral health and bone structure. This includes X-rays, digital imaging, and discussions about your lifestyle.
If you’re a candidate, your surgery will be scheduled. At your appointment, implant fixtures are placed into your jawbone to serve as anchors. After a healing period, the implants fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Then, finally, your custom dentures are attached.
Fixed options are secured permanently, while removable versions snap into place. Throughout the process, our friendly team ensures your comfort and keeps you informed at every step.
Am I a Candidate for Implant Dentures?
Most healthy adults missing all their teeth can be candidates for implant dentures. All that’s required is enough jawbone to support the implant fixtures, healthy gums, and good overall health.
But even if you don’t meet these requirements right away, treatment is still possible. If bone loss is present, a bone graft can be performed the strengthen the implant site.
No matter what you need, Dr. Modarres will create a personalized plan to help you reach your goals. Even if you’ve been told you can’t have implants before, our advanced technology may open new options for your smile restoration.
