Implant-supported dentures provide a stable alternative for patients who want more security than traditional removable dentures. At Michael K. Bassiri DDS, Dr. Michael Bassiri restores implant-supported dentures that are carefully designed to improve comfort, function, and confidence.
Understanding Implant-Supported Dentures
Unlike traditional dentures that rest solely on the gums, implant-supported dentures connect to dental implants that have been placed in the jaw by a surgical specialist. This connection helps minimize movement and creates a more secure fit.
Who May Benefit from Implant-Supported Dentures?
You may be a candidate for implant-supported dentures if you:
- Are missing all teeth in one or both arches
- Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Want a more stable tooth replacement option
- Have adequate bone support or are willing to explore preparatory treatment
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment typically involves coordination between Michael K. Bassiri DDS and a trusted surgical provider. After implants are placed and healed, Dr. Michael Bassiri designs and restores the denture portion, ensuring proper fit, comfort, and function.
Living with Implant-Supported Dentures
Many patients find implant-supported dentures easier to wear and more comfortable than traditional dentures. Regular checkups help ensure continued stability and oral health.
Long-Term Care and Maintenance
Daily cleaning and routine dental visits help protect both your dentures and the supporting implants. Maintenance visits allow adjustments as needed over time.
