What Are Implant-Supported Dentures? 

Implant-supported dentures are a type of overdenture that’s secured with dental implants. With implant dentures, we can replace multiple teeth at once and restore the beauty of your smile. Woodland Hills dentist Dr. Fredericks custom designs your implant-supported dentures to give you a natural look. We place four dental implants into the densest part of your jawbone for a comfortable and stable fit. As a permanent dental restoration, implant dentures allow patients to live their lives with fewer diet restrictions than dentures and never have to worry about them slipping or sliding around.

The Southern Cal Smiles team works hard to make sure each patient’s smile goals are met. With implant-supported dentures, you’ll receive the following benefits along with a complete smile: 

• Speak with confidence and ease

• Stimulate healthy bone growth
• Quick and easy procedure
• Comfortable and stable fit

The Implant-Supported Dentures Process

Your implant-supported dentures process begins with a consultation with Dr. Fredericks. Our Woodland Hills dentist will perform a full-mouth examination and discuss your smile goals with you. This will help both you and her determine if implant dentures are the right fit for your needs. We’ll then take digital X-rays to capture detailed images of your teeth and create your custom restoration. 

At your next appointment, we’ll surgically place the four dental implants. We’ll use dental sedation to ensure you’ll feel comfortable and relaxed. Once the implants are placed, you’ll begin the recovery process. Typically, healing can take three to six months, as your implants naturally fuse with your bone. 

When your mouth has fully healed, you’ll return to our dental office for the restoration appointment. Your overdentures are customized for you and Dr. Fredericks will make any adjustments necessary before securing them into place. You’ll then leave our Woodland Hills practice with a full, beautiful smile.  

Aftercare 

Over the next few weeks and months, you’ll visit our dental office a couple of times for checkups to perfect your dentures fit. Your implant-supported dentures should be cared for with daily brushing and flossing, just like natural teeth. Continue to visit our Woodland Hills dentist twice a year for teeth cleanings and exams. With proper care, your restoration can last up to 10 years.
