Discover the Confidence of Permanent Dentures at SohoSmile®
Say farewell to traditional dentures and welcome the confidence of a permanent smile with implant-supported overdentures. Also known as snap-on or snap-in dentures, these innovative solutions are poised to revolutionize your smile and rejuvenate your quality of life.
What are Implant-Supported Overdentures?
Implant-supported overdentures provide a durable alternative for replacing all missing teeth in either the upper or lower jaws. Anchored by dental implants surgically embedded into the jawbone, these dentures deliver a robust bite and natural chewing capabilities.
With implant-supported dentures, you can eat, smile, and converse with ease and confidence. Additionally, they uphold proper jawbone density, minimize gum irritation, and offer long-lasting durability. Maintenance is hassle-free—simply brush and clean them like regular dentures, eliminating the need for pastes, creams, or adhesives.
Ideal Candidates for Implant-Supported Overdentures
Ideal candidates for denture implants are individuals who:
- Are seeking comprehensive tooth replacement solutions.
- Have adequate jawbone density to support the implants.
- Are in good overall health and free from conditions that could interfere with healing.
For those who may need additional support, bone grafting can enhance jawbone density. Our skilled team, led by Dr. Lea Planzos, will expertly guide you through every step of the process with precision and care, ensuring you receive the best possible outcome for your new smile.
Biologic Approach
Our practice embraces a biologic approach to dentistry, prioritizing your overall health and well-being. We understand that oral health is intricately connected to your body’s systemic health, and our treatments are tailored to promote harmony and balance. Through integrative techniques and personalized care, we ensure that every aspect of your treatment journey aligns with your body’s natural processes, maximizing effectiveness and minimizing risks.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
Before the surgery, you’ll undergo a thorough pre-operative assessment to ensure you’re ready. This may involve medical history review, diagnostic tests, and discussions about anesthesia options.
Anesthesia Administration
Anesthesia will be administered to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
Implant Placement
The surgical team, including Dr. Lea, will carefully insert dental implant posts into the jawbone at predetermined locations.
Bone Grafting (if needed)
Bone grafting may be necessary to augment the jawbone for implant support.
Implant Integration
After implant placement, osseointegration begins, where the implants fuse with the jawbone.
Temporary Restoration
Temporary dentures or porcelain crowns may be placed to maintain aesthetics and function.
Closure and Post-Operative Care
The surgical site will be closed, and post-operative care instructions provided.
Recovery and Healing
Allow time for healing and osseointegration to occur, following post-operative instructions diligently.
Post-Surgery Care for Denture Implants
After your implant surgery, you might experience some mild discomfort or soreness, which can be alleviated with pain relievers. Initially, it’s advisable to stick to a soft diet. Stitches are usually removed within 2-3 weeks. Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial—regular dental cleanings, brushing, and flossing will help keep your new smile in optimal condition.
