What To Expect: Implant Dentures
Your journey to a more secure, comfortable, and beautiful smile begins with a comprehensive consultation with our dentist in Plano, TX. He will evaluate your oral health and bone tissue to determine if you are a successful candidate for implant-secured dentures. Patients will need a substantial amount of healthy bone tissue for successful results.
For patients who do not have ample healthy bone, bone grafting or All-On-Four may be alternatives to implant-secured dentures. Treatment will vary depending on the overall health of the patient and due to any additional needed treatments to fully restore oral health.
If it is determined that denture implants will work for you, the next step is to have the implant posts surgically placed in your jawbone.
Dr. Grapevine will coordinate this surgical phase with a local oral surgeon. He works closely with some of the most trusted local oral surgeons to provide you with the best dental implants in Plano, TX. The oral surgeon will surgically place the appropriate number of implants needed at precise angles and positions to maximize the support.
Depending on the number of implants you will need, plan on the surgery taking anywhere from one to three hours.
Once the dental implants have been placed, patients will receive a temporary denture while their implants heal. Once the implants are fully integrated with the jawbone, a final dental restoration will be designed and fit for a beautiful, stable smile.
Your denture will be custom designed to look just like your natural teeth. Dr. Grapevine will consider multiple aesthetic aspects to help you create a denture that accentuates your best feature- your beautiful smile.
