Renew Your Smile & Self-Esteem

Get a Stable Smile With Implant Dentures in Warren

Traditional dentures can replace an entire row of missing teeth, but some patients want additional security for everyday speaking and chewing. Implant dentures in Warren combine a customized denture with dental implants. The implants give you added support or retention beneath the replacement teeth.

Dr. Wendy Sanger works closely with trusted local dental professionals who perform implant placement. She then completes the case by designing and providing the appropriate denture once the implants are ready.

Discover How Full-Arch Tooth Replacement Works

Dental implants create anchor points within the jaw that can help a denture remain more stable than a conventional prosthetic resting on the gums alone. Depending on your treatment plan, your new teeth may be removable or designed to remain fixed in place.

The process requires coordination between surgical and restorative care. Implant placement is completed by a local oral surgeon. Dr. Sanger plans and completes the replacement teeth that connect to the implants. This collaborative approach allows each phase of treatment to receive the attention it requires with one coordinated plan for your new smile.

Implant-Retained Dentures

A removable denture attaches to dental implants for increased retention. You can take the prosthetic out for cleaning while benefiting from a more secure fit during everyday use.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Dental implants provide support for a full-arch restoration rather than having the prosthetic rely primarily on the gums. The specific design depends on your individual treatment needs.

Greater Stability

Connecting replacement teeth to implants reduces unwanted denture movement during activities such as speaking and chewing. Even better, you won't need messy adhesive.

Customized Replacement Teeth

We don't use a one-size-fits-all prosthetic. Your restoration is planned around your mouth, smile, implant positions, and functional needs.

Coordinated Implant Care

Surgical implant placement is completed by a local oral surgeon. Dr. Sanger handles the restorative phase, working closely with the surgical provider to complete your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Dentures

Q What are implant dentures?

Implant dentures are full-arch or partial tooth replacements that use dental implants for added retention or support. The implants provide anchor points beneath the replacement teeth rather than relying only on the gums to hold the denture in place.

Q Are implant dentures more stable than traditional dentures?

Implant dentures can provide greater stability than conventional dentures because the replacement teeth connect to dental implants. The amount of added stability depends on the number and position of implants and the type of teeth used.

Q Are implant dentures removable?

Some implant dentures are removable, while others are designed to remain fixed in place. A patient can commonly remove implant-retained dentures. Implant-supported restorations remain attached and are removed only by a dentist when necessary.

Q Can existing dentures be converted to implant dentures?

Whether an existing denture can be adapted for use with implants depends on its condition, fit, design, and the planned implant positions. A dental evaluation can determine whether modification is appropriate or a new restoration is needed.

Q How many implants are needed for implant dentures?

The number of implants needed for an implant denture varies according to the type of restoration, available bone, jaw anatomy, and treatment plan. A surgical evaluation is necessary to determine the appropriate implant configuration.

Q Who places the dental implants for an implant denture?

In many cases, an oral surgeon with surgical implant training places the dental implants. The restorative dentist can then coordinate with the surgical provider and provide the denture or full-arch restoration after the implants are ready.

Q How do you clean implant dentures?

Cleaning implant dentures depends on whether the restoration is removable or fixed. Removable dentures should be taken out and cleaned as directed. Fixed restorations require careful brushing and cleaning around and beneath the prosthetic and implants.

Q How long can implant dentures last?

Implant dentures can provide long-term tooth replacement, but their lifespan varies. Oral hygiene, implant health, biting forces, routine professional care, and normal wear of the prosthetic can all affect how long the restoration remains in good condition.
