Implant Dentures

At St. Lucie Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand the importance of having a confident smile that you can rely on. That's why we offer implant dentures as a solution for those who may have lost some or all of their teeth.


Implant dentures, also known as denture implants, are a permanent solution that can help improve your overall quality of life.


Understanding the Difference


Implant dentures differ from traditional dentures in that they are held securely in place by multiple dental implants. There are two main types of implant dentures: overdentures and hybrid implant dentures. Overdentures are snapped in and out by the patient, while still being securely attached, while hybrid implant dentures are fixed inside the mouth and can only be removed by a dentist.


At our Port St. Lucie, FL, location, we offer both types of implant dentures. We believe that implant dentures offer many benefits over traditional dentures. First and foremost, they provide a much tighter fit, meaning there's no need for adhesives or glue to keep them in place. This improved fit also provides better speech and taste as well as making it easier to chew your food.


Another benefit of implant dentures is that they prevent bone loss and help you maintain a more youthful appearance. Traditional dentures can cause bone loss over time, leading to a sunken-in appearance. Implant dentures, on the other hand, help stimulate the bone, which can help prevent this from happening.


Implant dentures also offer more stability than traditional dentures. You won't have to worry about your dentures falling out or slipping around while you're eating or talking. This can provide a significant boost in confidence as well as eliminate any embarrassing situations.


Understanding the Process


The amount of time it will take to complete your implant supported denture depends on a number of factors. In some cases patients can gain a new smile within 24 hours. Other times it may take six months to one year to complete a case. 


Teeth in a Day is a great solution for patients who are eligible.  Day one will be surgery and implant placement and the following day you will return to the office to have an immediate implant denture placed on the dental implants. The immediate denture will be worn for a few months and will look like natural teeth. In a few months, once the bone and tissue has healed, your final permanent denture will be delivered by your dentist. 

For some patients it is necessary or best to place bone and implants and then wait a few months for healing. During this time the patient will wear a traditional denture. Once the bone and implants are healed then your final denture will be customized to fit the implants.

OVERDENTURES

An overdenture is an implant supported denture that eliminates the problems associated with traditional dentures by stabilizing the denture with dental implants.


Full mouth dental implants snap in and out for ability to clean the implant areas. Ability to clean the implants and attachments will ensure your dental implants last for a long time.


Unlike traditional dentures they do not come in and out daily.  The majority of the time the denture is attached to the implants and will be anchored in your mouth.  Implant supported dentures are much more comfortable because less material is used so the dentures themselves are smaller allowing you to taste, chew, and speak better.

ALL ON Four Implants (All on X)

WHAT IS AN ALL-ON-4 DENTAL IMPLANT?

All-on-4 dental implants is a procedure when four dental implants are inserted into the jaw and then an implant denture is connected to the implants. A custom-designed set of teeth is crafted just for you and snapped firmly into place onto the implants. All of your teeth on one arch will be anchored by four dental implants and thus you have an All-on-4 dental implant denture. Full mouth dental implants is when you have 2 (or more) dental implants per arch securing holding dentures on the top and bottom.   

All-on-4 dental implants aren't offered by every dentist. However, our implant dentist of Port St. Lucie, FL are on the cutting edge of dental technology.  We have CT Scanner, use surgical guides, and work with the most skilled dental labs in the Treasure Coast to produce a natural-looking and comfortable set of new teeth that you'll be proud to flash all over town.

tEETH IN A DAY

The All-on-x or teeth in a day is a highly aesthetic fixed option for teeth replacement, which means the denture or bridge does not come in and out like the overdenture option. The denture or bridge is anchored by four or more dental implants.  This procedure is also called the "hybrid implant denture". This approach is becoming the most popular way to replace a full set of teeth because it offers these benefits:

  • Replace all your teeth in one day
  • Attractive, natural appearance
  • Functional biting and chewing             
  • No need for a bone graft (in most cases)
  • Great long-term survival
  • Replacement teeth don't slip or fall out

The All-on-x implant system is designed to replace all your teeth in one procedure. That means you can replace all your teeth at once, even if you have natural teeth that need to be extracted.
