Implant-Supported Dentures in Baton Rouge, LA

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are custom full or partial dentures attached to dental implants, providing a more secure fit than traditional removable dentures. The implants fuse with the jawbone, ensuring stability and preventing bone loss.

Patients can choose between:

• Fixed implant-supported dentures, which remain in place permanently
• Removable implant-supported dentures, which snap onto implants but can be removed for cleaning

Our team will evaluate your oral health to determine the best option for you. If additional bone support is needed, we also offer bone grafting to strengthen the jawbone before implant placement.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

• No more slipping or discomfort – Unlike traditional digital dentures, implant-supported dentures stay firmly in place.
• Improved chewing ability – Enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions
• Prevents bone loss – Stimulates the jawbone, preserving facial structure
• Natural look and feel – Custom-designed for a realistic appearance
• Long-lasting results – A durable, long-term solution for missing teeth

If you are looking for additional cosmetic improvements, treatments like smile makeovers or porcelain veneers can further enhance your smile.

Who Is a Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are missing multiple or all of your teeth in one or both arches
• Have sufficient jawbone density for implant placement
• Are dissatisfied with traditional dentures and want a more secure alternative
• Want a long-term tooth replacement solution

If you experience jaw pain or bite alignment issues, TMJ therapy may also be recommended as part of your treatment plan.

The Implant-Supported Denture Procedure

1. Consultation and Treatment Planning

Your journey begins with a detailed exam, including digital imaging, to evaluate your jawbone and overall oral health.

2. Implant Placement

Titanium implants are surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as anchors for the dentures. Depending on your needs, two to six implants per arch may be used.

3. Healing and Osseointegration

Over the next three to six months, the implants integrate with the jawbone, ensuring a strong foundation. For patients needing additional healing support, we may recommend PRP therapy to accelerate recovery.

4. Custom Denture Attachment

Once healing is complete, a custom-designed denture is securely attached to the implants, restoring function and aesthetics.

5. Enjoy Your New Smile

With implant-supported dentures, you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Routine cleanings and exams will help keep your implants and dentures in excellent condition.
