Implant Supported Dentures Leawood & Overland Park
Are you tired of your dentures slipping and sliding around? Not to mention the hassle of dealing with all the goos and pastes needed to try to keep your dentures in place. With implant supported dentures, you’ll be free from these frustrating issues and get your teeth (and your confidence) back.
Implant supported dentures will keep your smile in place and make eating and speaking as simple as with natural teeth. More than that, though, this advanced treatment option can help you experience less bone deterioration in your jaw.
At Asha Dental – Leawood, we offer two different types of implant supported dentures:
- Bar-Retained Dentures: Bar-retained denture technology is comprised of a custom-made bar that fits across your jaw and attaches to the implants. Your dentures will simply clip on for a comfortable and secure fit. Say goodbye to constantly shifting teeth!
- Ball-Retained Dentures: Ball-retained dentures are the most stable option. This ball and socket technology allows for highly effective oral functioning. Simply snap your denture into the implant and you’ll never have to settle for uncomfortable dentures again!
Contact us to set up your consultation, and our team Asha Dental – Leawood will help you determine if implant supported dentures are right for you and your oral health. Once you have the implants placed and dentures made, you will feel more confident and comfortable with your smile and stop fussing with constantly shifting, uncomfortable dentures. Our goal is to be the one-stop dental office in Leawood and surrounding areas!
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for implant-supported dentures?
Many patients who struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures are great candidates for implant-supported dentures. If you have healthy gums and adequate jawbone to support dental implants, this treatment may be an excellent option. During your visit to Asha Dental – Leawood, the dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine whether implant supported dentures can provide the stability and comfort you need.
How are implant-supported dentures different from traditional dentures?
Traditional dentures rest directly on the gums and may shift while eating or speaking. Implant-supported dentures are secured using dental implants placed in the jawbone. This added support keeps the dentures firmly in place, helping patients in Leawood and Overland Park enjoy greater comfort, confidence, and function.
Do implant-supported dentures really prevent dentures from slipping?
Yes. Because the dentures are anchored to dental implants, they stay stable throughout the day. Patients often notice a significant improvement in chewing ability and speech compared to traditional removable dentures.
What types of implant-supported dentures are available?
At Asha Dental – Leawood, patients can choose between two primary options:
Bar-Retained Dentures – A custom bar connects the implants, and the denture securely clips onto the bar for a stable fit.
Ball-Retained Dentures – Also known as snap-in dentures, these use a ball-and-socket attachment that allows the denture to securely snap into place for excellent stability.
Your dentist will recommend the option that best fits your oral health needs and lifestyle.
How do dentures help protect the jawbone?
Dental implants stimulate the jawbone in a way similar to natural tooth roots. This stimulation helps reduce bone loss over time, which is a common issue with traditional dentures. Preserving bone structure can also help maintain the natural shape of your face.
Is the implant-supported denture procedure painful?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process can be. Dental implants are placed using modern techniques and local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. After healing, the denture is attached to the implants, giving patients a secure and natural-feeling smile.
How long does implant-supported denture last?
With proper care, dental implants can last many years, often decades. The denture portion may occasionally need adjustments or replacement over time, but the implant foundation is designed to provide long-term support.
