Implant-support dentures in Florida

Is There Only One Kind of Implant-Supported Denture?

There are two types of implant supported dentures that are commonly used. Bar-retained dentures have a curved metal bar that supports the dentures. Ball-retained dentures are implants with ball-shaped attachments which are installed into sockets on the denture. Both are common surgical procedures that are done in the dental office and we’ll do our best to make you comfortable during the procedure. Both types look and function like your natural teeth. Call us in Clearwater to schedule a consultation or for more information on these great dental options.

Will Implant-Supported Dentures Work Like My Natural Teeth?

Implant-supported dentures both look and function like your natural teeth so no one will know you have dentures unless you tell them. You care for them by brushing and flossing, just like you would your natural teeth. You also have the freedom to eat your favorite foods again with these implant dentures. Many patients report that they regain their self-confidence when they have implant-dentures installed and they regain the structure of a firm jawline.

What’s the Process for Installing Implant Dentures?

If you opt for implant-supported dentures, then your first step is to determine the type of denture you want, either the bar-retained or the ball-retained and your dentist will make a recommendation as to the best type for your situation. Then, depending on your individual situation, you’ll have the implants installed in either one or two office visits. Sometimes, the implants are installed at one visit and the dentures attached a few months later. Other times, the entire procedure can be done in one office visit and you leave our office with a new set of natural looking teeth. Call us in Clearwater at (727) 286-3945 to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists to determine the best option for you.

What Type of Care Do Implant-Supported Dentures Require?

Just like your natural teeth, implant dentures require daily brushing and flossing, preferably every morning and every night. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush in a horizontal motion with a gentle pressure and maintain the brush at an angle to the teeth. If your dentures need a deeper cleaning, then a proxabrush might help. It’s designed to reach areas of the dentures that a regular toothbrush might not be able to and some patients find that a dental threader helps with flossing.
