Implant Dentures – Plano, TX

Enjoy a Secure, Complete Smile

Have you been growing frustrated with a denture that never seems to stay in place? These days, a traditional denture is no longer the only option to rebuild your smile. If you’re looking for greater stability in your tooth replacement, you may be interested in implant dentures in Plano, TX. Because these prosthetics are secured onto dental implant posts in the jaw, they’ll always stay in place, and they’ll feel leaps and bounds more comfortable. Essentially, implant dentures are the next best thing to having your natural teeth back! Contact our team at Legacy Trails Dental of Plano to learn more.

Why Choose Legacy Trails Dental of Plano for Implant Dentures?

What Are Implant Dentures?

Instead of metal clasps, suction, or adhesives, implant dentures are anchored in place with dental implants. These titanium posts are surgically inserted into your jawbone. Because they’re biocompatible, your jawbone grows around them, creating a secure foundation for your replacement teeth.

Depending on your specific needs and preferences, we may recommend one of the following types of implant dentures:  

Fixed/Permanent Implant Dentures

A fixed implant denture stays in your mouth most of the time; only an implant dentist in Plano can remove it. In this way, you can brush and floss it like you would natural teeth. This type of implant denture typically requires between four and eight implant posts positioned strategically throughout the jawbone.

Removable Implant Dentures

We can also design your implant denture so that you can take it out yourself whenever you would like. With this option, you can remove your denture to clean it, so you don’t need to adjust your oral hygiene regimen too much. Removable implant dentures may be ideal for patients with less jawbone density, as they only require an average of two to five implant posts.

The Implant Denture Process

While the process of getting implant dentures is lengthier than that of conventional dentures, consider it an investment in your smile. After all, implant dentures can last for several decades, so the wait is worth it!

The treatment process involves multiple steps. Thanks to our dentists’ advanced training and experience, they can complete every phase of the process in-house, saving you from needing to visit specialists. A basic outline of your treatment will look something like this:

Am I a Good Candidate for Implant Dentures?

If you have good oral and general health, you are often a candidate for dental implants in Plano, but our dentists still need to perform a consultation to be sure. In addition to a visual exam, a CT scan is needed to assess the health of your oral structures, like your jawbone. Based on the images, we may recommend you undergo one or more additional procedures before having your implant posts placed, like bone grafting to strengthen a jawbone that has shrunken after tooth loss.

Benefits of Combining Dentures with Dental Implants
