Achieve Stability and Comfort with Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are securely anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone, offering a stable and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures. Unlike conventional options that rest on the gums and can slip out of place, these dentures stay firmly in position—enhancing comfort, function, and confidence. They’re an ideal solution for patients who have lost all teeth in the upper or lower jaw and want a more permanent, dependable restoration.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures offer numerous advantages over traditional dentures:
  • Superior Stability: Implant-supported dentures are securely attached to dental implants, preventing them from slipping or shifting while eating, speaking, or smiling.
  • Improved Comfort: Because implant-supported dentures don’t rest directly on the gums, they eliminate the discomfort often caused by traditional dentures rubbing against the soft tissues of the mouth.
  • Enhanced Chewing Ability: With implant-supported dentures, you can eat a wider variety of foods, including harder or chewier items, without worrying about your dentures moving or causing discomfort.
  • Natural Appearance: Implant-supported dentures are designed to look like your natural teeth, providing a seamless and beautiful smile.
  • Bone Health Preservation: Dental implants help stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures, which helps maintain the shape of your face over time.
  • Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, implant-supported dentures can provide a permanent, durable solution that lasts for many years.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Types of Implant-Supported Dentures

At Lakeway Dental Associates, we offer two main types of implant-supported dentures to meet your needs:

1. Bar-Retained Implant-Supported Dentures

In this type of implant-supported denture, a thin metal bar is attached to the dental implants in your jawbone. The denture is designed to snap onto the bar, providing a secure and stable fit. Bar-retained dentures offer excellent support while allowing for easy removal for cleaning and maintenance.

2. Ball-Retained Implant-Supported Dentures

Also known as stud-attachment dentures, ball-retained dentures use ball-shaped connectors on the dental implants that fit into sockets on the underside of the denture. This design provides a firm attachment, allowing the denture to remain securely in place while still being removable for cleaning.

Both options provide increased stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures, and Dr. Fawzy will work with you to determine the best option for your specific needs.


The Implant-Supported Denture Process at Lakeway Dental Associates

At Lakeway Dental Associates, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to your implant-supported denture treatment to ensure the best results. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

1. Consultation and Evaluation

Your journey to implant-supported dentures begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Mourad Fawzy:
Oral Examination: We will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if implant-supported dentures are the best solution for you. Digital X-rays and 3D imaging may be used to assess the health of your jawbone and determine the ideal placement for your implants.
Treatment Plan: Based on your evaluation, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that outlines the steps of your procedure, including the type of implant-supported dentures that will work best for your needs.

2. Implant Placement

During the next phase of your treatment:
Implant Surgery: Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. These implants act as the foundation for your dentures, providing stability and support.
Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants will fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and durable base for your dentures. In some cases, temporary dentures may be placed during this healing period.

3. Attaching the Dentures

Once the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone:
Fitting Your Dentures: Your custom implant-supported dentures will be attached to the dental implants using either a bar or ball-retained system. Dr. Fawzy will ensure that the fit is secure and comfortable, providing you with a functional and natural-looking smile.
Final Adjustments: We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your dentures fit properly and provide maximum comfort and function.

Caring for Your Implant-Supported Dentures

Proper care is essential to maintaining the longevity of your implant-supported dentures and ensuring your oral health remains in top condition:
  • Oral Hygiene: Just like with natural teeth, it’s important to brush and floss around your implants and clean your dentures regularly to prevent plaque buildup and ensure gum health.
  • Regular Check-Ups: Schedule regular check-ups and cleanings with Lakeway Dental Associates to monitor the health of your implants and surrounding tissues.
  • Careful Cleaning: If you have removable dentures, clean them daily using a denture brush and denture cleaner, and soak them overnight. For fixed implant-supported dentures, special tools like water flossers or interdental brushes may be recommended.

Also known as stud-attachment dentures, ball-retained dentures use ball-shaped connectors on the dental implants that fit into sockets on the underside of the denture. This design provides a firm attachment, allowing the denture to remain securely in place while still being removable for cleaning.

Both options provide increased stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures, and Dr. Fawzy will work with you to determine the best option for your specific needs.
