Do you have missing teeth? Do not hesitate at the thought of getting dentures. Our Nashville denture implants solution is an advanced, new take on dentures that combines the benefits of regular dentures and dental implants. Now you can enjoy life without worrying about your dentures.
Missing teeth can be embarrassing and make it difficult to eat and speak. Dentures are a popular, effective way to bring back your smile and your bite functionality if you have decayed or damaged teeth that need to come out. They can improve your appearance and oral health. They come in many different styles, and we match the colors and tooth size to the natural look of your smile.
Our implant dentures will not slip or come out while you are speaking or eating, making them a more secure option than traditional dentures. In addition, implant-secured dentures look more natural and feel more comfortable than conventional dentures.
What are Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures are dentures that are anchored in the jawbone with dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, implant dentures do not rely on suction or adhesives to stay in place. Instead, they are held securely in the mouth by one or more dental implants.
Dental implants are a popular, advanced dental procedure that is used to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are made of a titanium rod to act as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. Titanium is a biocompatible material, which means that the body will not reject the titanium rod. Your jawbone should heal quickly after we surgically place the implants in the jawbone.
Dentures can be attached once the dental implants are in place.
What is the Process for Implant Dentures?
Our dental implant procedure in Nashville, TN, begins with a consultation with Dr. Kisner to determine if you are a good candidate for implants. Patients with various dental or overall health issues may not be good candidates for implants. You’ll also need enough jawbone to hold the implants in place. In some circumstances, we can do jawbone grafts to add supporting material if you have lost your jawbone or don’t have enough.
If implants are the best option for you, we will start the procedure by ensuring you are ready to proceed. We will confirm that you are relaxed and comfortable and that we have answered all your questions.
We will provide an anesthetic to guarantee optimal comfort and surgically insert the implant into the jawbone. The number of implants used will depend on various factors, including whether you are getting full or partial dentures. Four dental implants are often a good number to support a denture set.
It will take some time for your mouth and jawbone to heal. We want to wait until your mouth and jawbone have gotten used to the implant before proceeding to the next step. We can provide temporary crowns to wear over the implant rods until your mouth is ready for the dentures. Once prepared, you will return to our office to have your dentures placed onto the implants.
We want to be there for you at every step to make sure your implants are both comfortable and practical. After the procedure, keep in touch with us and tell us how you’re doing, especially if anything about the implant doesn’t feel right.
