Implant Dentures
(Dentist Services Available In Naples By For Smiles Dentists)
|
For those who need to have their teeth pulled, implant dentures will fill the area left by the missing tooth. Also, if someone's existing dentures are old and worn, making them not fit correctly, this is their solution. They have a better fit than regular dentures making them more comfy and better looking than the alternative. |
Uses |
A dentist will decide with you if these are the right option for your individual needs. The dentist will need to evaluate the quality of the remaining bone and the shape of your gum tissue.
|
Who |
The dentist will let you know if this option is for you. The staff will take X-rays to determine the amount of bone and if implants will be a viable option. If this appears to be true, then an appointment to fully gauge eligibility will be set.

Procedure |
The gum tissue needs to be allowed to heal completely once the teeth are pulled. When a healthy mouth has been achieved, the implant dentures can be inserted. A full set of dentures means that between 4 and 6 implants will be put in place so that all of the teeth are replaced. This procedure takes about 6 months to recover fully and when the mouth has entirely healed, the next step can begin. When the implants and bone fuse together, impressions will be taken for the dentures that will set directly into the implants. A nice tight fit will ensure that they are extremely comfortable to use.
Remember that all dentures must be removed every single evening. A mixture of water and cleanser will make sure that you start with a clean mouth every morning. Also this will allow your gums a needed relief from the pressure of the implants. |
After |
After the first step, which is pulling the teeth, it will be necessary to use a transitory set of dentures. This will just be while the mouth is healing from the extraction, which is around 6 months. Being able to place dentures in immediately allows a smooth change to occur.
|
What to Expect |
You will not have a rough time during your time of recovery, especially if you use the temporary set while you are waiting for you permanent ones. Upon receiving the permanent set, you will be so content that you no longer hurt and will be able to chew food better than ever. Your smile will be so improved, you won't be able to stop!
