Implant Retained Dentures

If you have lost all your teeth or missing some teeth, dentures or partial dentures may be your option to restore your smile. We strive to make them as comfortable as possible.

Here are several options for dentures:

Immediate Dentures - The patient has existing teeth that are either not salvageable or strong enough to hold a partial denture or a bridge. Impressions and measurements are made to fabricate the denture before any remaining teeth are removed. On the day of surgery, the denture is ready for delivery. This way the teeth removed are replaced that day to go home. After the surgery, the bone will shrink and cause the dentures to be loose again. Immediate dentures will have to be relined after about 6 months to "re-tighten" them.
Dentures - The patient's existing dentures are broken or worn out. A new replacement pair is made.
Partial Dentures - Only some teeth are missing and a removable device is preferred by the patient. The framework of the partial is either made of metal or resin.
Implant retained Dentures - Lower dentures are difficult to keep from moving. There is no suction like the palate of the mouth in the upper and the tongue is very muscular. Mini-implants are an excellent source to retain dentures. Four (like four legs of a table) mini-implants are placed in the lower jaw to stabilize the dentures. These implants have a small ball that snaps into the denture. It's a similar idea to the snaps on infant clothes. The implant-retained denture resists lateral movement and saves the patient from the embarrassment when the denture comes out during talking.

I have been seeing Dr. Smith for at least the last 10 years - He and his staff are professional, friendly, and gentle - they truly are THE BEST! They always explain what is happening and give me all of my options up front. They care about my oral health and help me make the best decisions for my teeth. Getting an appointment is easy as well. The atmosphere of the office and the attitude of his team is fantastic. It's an appointment that I actually look forward to going to. Highly recommended.

Dr. Smith showed great care in my oral issues and my situation overall. He was able to do a full face scan and then lay out a plan for me. I have been needing work done for a while. Now instead of fearing the dentist we actually look forward to it. Amazing work!

KUDOS to my dentist Craig Smith. I went in Friday afternoon to get a bad tooth extracted. After muscling the tooth out, I had instant relief. NO MEDS or ANTIBIOTICS for me. I won't take them and didn't need them. There was a little discomfort, of course, after the Novocaine wore off but by the next day, I am completely back to normal. No pain! Craig R O C K S!!
