Implant-Supported Dentures in Easton, PA

Dentures are a great way to replace missing teeth and give you a healthy and natural-looking smile. Implant-supported dentures are even better, as they are more stable and secure. They also tend to be less expensive than other implants, like All-on-4. Come in for a free consultation with our implant specialists for a personalized treatment plan and price estimate.

What are implant-supported dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This provides a more secure fit than conventional dentures, which can slip and slide around in your mouth. Implant-supported dentures also help preserve the bone in your jaw, as they stimulate it just like natural teeth roots. This helps to keep your jawbone strong and healthy.

The Implant Supported Denture Procedure

The first step in getting implant-supported dentures is to consult with your dentist. During your consultation, the dentist will examine your mouth and jawbone to ensure you are a good candidate for receiving implants and whether or not you need a bone graft. Then, they will develop a treatment plan specifically for you.

Once it has been determined that you are a good candidate for implants, the next step is implant surgery by an oral surgeon. This surgery will be performed under general anesthesia. After the implants are placed, you will receive temporary dentures. The implants will need to heal for several months before the fixed dentures can be attached.

Once the implants have healed, you will come back to our office to have your dentures made. We will take impressions of your teeth to create custom dentures that fit perfectly. The dentures will then be attached to the implants, giving you a secure and natural-looking smile.
