Treatment Timeline of Implant-Supported Dentures
Posted By Indiana Jude
Body
At Admire Dentistry, we understand the importance of a confident smile. Implant-supported dentures offer a modern solution for those seeking a more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. This procedure involves anchoring a denture to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, providing a secure fit and natural feel.
Initial Consultation and Assessment
Duration: 1-2 Visits
Your journey begins with an initial consultation at Admire Dentistry. During this visit, our dental professionals will assess your oral health, discuss your dental history, and take necessary imaging tests. This step is crucial to ensure you are a suitable candidate for implant-supported dentures and to plan your treatment.
Surgical Placement of Implants
Duration: 1 Day (Recovery: 3-6 Months)
The next step is the surgical placement of dental implants into your jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, ensuring your comfort. Post-surgery, a healing period of 3 to 6 months is necessary for the implants to integrate with the bone - a process known as osseointegration.
Fitting and Adjustment of Dentures
Duration: 1-3 Visits
Once the implants have successfully integrated with your jawbone, you'll return to Admire Dentistry for the fitting of your dentures. Impressions of your mouth will be taken to custom-make your dentures, ensuring a perfect fit. A few adjustment visits may be required to achieve optimal comfort and function.
Follow-Up and Maintenance
Ongoing
Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor the health of your implants and dentures. During these appointments, our team will check the fit of your dentures, assess your oral hygiene, and make any necessary adjustments. Proper care and maintenance of your implant-supported dentures will ensure their longevity and your continued oral health.
The journey to acquiring implant-supported dentures is a process that requires time and patience, but the outcome is a stable, comfortable, and natural-looking smile. At Admire Dentistry, our commitment is to guide you through each step of this journey, ensuring a seamless and rewarding experience.
