What To Expect From Implant-Supported Overdentures?
You may be wondering if getting dental implants as a way to stabilize your dentures is right for you, or what is involved with the process.
The first step is setting up a consultation with Dr. Toorani to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Because wearing dentures for an extended period can erode the jawbone, the conditions aren’t always ideal for placing the dental implants.
We will take digital x-rays, as well as do an examination to find out if this is a good treatment option for you. There are options for patients that have significant bone loss, such as a bone graft, to help make conditions more favorable for successful implants.
During the procedure, Dr. Toorani will place 2 to 4 implants in the arch to help support your denture. The denture can be placed on the same day so that patients can walk out with a beautiful, complete smile.
