Implant Retained Dentures in San Marcos, CA
Advanced Implant Dentures by Dr. Sonny Eslampour, DDS
Tired of dentures that rock around the mouth? Unable to bite into the food because the denture is too loose? Cannot taste your food cause the dentures mask the taste? These and many other problems can be overcome by using dental implants to secure the dentures into place.
Denture implants make traditional dentures feel more secure and more like natural teeth. These implant-retained dentures can be made for the upper or the lower (or both) jaws.
Everything starts with a dental visit to our San Marcos denture implant office. During your visit, we’ll discuss different options for your care. Dr. Eslampour evaluates your existing dentures and your mouth and remaining and available bone. Based on the findings we can recommend a safe and effective course of therapy. Your comfort and a successful outcome is our number one priority for you.
Dentures – Converted to Implant Dentures
Some patients have gotten comfortable with the feel and function of their relatively new denture. However, the jaw bone keeps melting away slowly because there is no stimulation to it. Overtime, the denture feels loose and the patient needs a “reline” procedure. This is the body telling us that it is melting away and now there is a gap that wasn’t there before which needs a reline. Dental implants can help slow this process down by stimulating the bone.
Another benefit is that the dentures which are “snapped” onto the implants feel more secure when it comes to eating. They make the dentures less wobbly so the patient can chew the food better and have improved digestion and nutrient intake.
Removable by Patient
Patients often wonder if these implant retained dentures are kept in the mouth 24/7. The answer is no. These types of dentures, much like traditional dentures, are fully removable by the patient. These implants help retain the dentures in the mouth. For implant supported dentures that are not removable by the patient, check out our page about All-on-4 Teeth and Implant supported teeth.
