Losing your teeth can be incredibly discouraging. If you’re facing complete tooth loss, you may worry about how you’ll enjoy your favorite meals or smile confidently again. If you’re already wearing dentures, you may feel frustrated that your teeth can’t keep up with your lifestyle.
You don’t have to settle for a soft food diet or the discomfort of dentures that shift, rub, and leave painful sores. Our New Creation Dental Care team is proud to provide a fantastic alternative: Snap-On dentures held securely in place by expertly placed dental implants. If you’re looking for implant dentures in Lake St. Louis, MO, you’ve come to the right place!
Implant-supported dentures, also called Snap-On dentures, are removable prostheses similar to traditional dentures but with the unbeatable strength and stability of dental implants. Strategically placed implant posts will be equipped with specialized abutments that fit into matching notches in the underside of each denture.
These ball-in-socket attachments hold your implant dentures in place, preventing them from becoming loose, shifting, slipping, clicking, or falling out. The fit of your implant dentures will never change and maintain their strength for decades. Best of all, you’ll enjoy a variety of your favorite foods without worrying about a soft diet.
Your path to a renewed smile starts with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Matthew Boscia will take the time to understand how missing and failing teeth affect your ability to enjoy meals, speak confidently, or share smiles with your loved ones.
We’ll use state-of-the-art imaging technology to carefully measure your bone structure and evaluate the best sites to anchor your implant dentures. We’ll also closely examine your medical history and overall health to ensure you’re a good candidate for dental implants.
Depending on your unique needs, we can prepare you for implant surgery by removing unsalvageable teeth or adding bone volume with grafts. We will then make small incisions in your gums to place implant posts strategically at carefully calculated angles to give your implant dentures unparalleled strength and stability.
Implant posts can also be placed directly into the socket at the same appointment as your tooth extractions. Our BLAST dental implant surgery protocol ensures an ideal surgical site and significantly improves your healing process.
We’ll give you a set of great-looking temporary restorations or modify your existing denture to wear as you heal over the next several months. Your implant posts will integrate with the underlying bone, giving your implant dentures lasting stability for decades.
Once your implants have healed completely, you’ll return to our office to receive your final snap-in dentures, crafted from durable materials that look and feel like natural enamel. We’ll make any final adjustments to ensure ideal comfort and function.
