Loose dentures can be uncomfortable and make eating or speaking difficult. They can shift in your mouth, causing irritation and embarrassment. Fortunately, there is a more secure and natural-feeling alternative available. If you are missing all or most of your teeth, an implant-supported partial or full denture can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost natural teeth and some of the roots, providing a stable foundation for your dentures.
Personalized Care with Dr. Eshom
San Diego Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. David Eshom, offers personalized care to determine the best solution for your dental needs. During your consultation, Dr. Eshom will evaluate your oral health and discuss your options. He will help you decide if dental implants are a better alternative to traditional dentures based on your specific situation.
The Implant Procedure
The dental implant process involves several steps:
- Consultation and Planning: Dr. Eshom will assess your oral health, take necessary imaging, and create a customized treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: The dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia.
- Osseointegration: Over a few months, the implants will fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, providing a strong foundation for your dentures.
- Abutment Placement: Once the implants are securely integrated, abutments are attached to the implants.
- Denture Fitting: Your custom-made dentures are then securely attached to the abutments, giving you a stable and natural-looking smile.
Post-Treatment Care
After receiving your implant-supported dentures, maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial. Dr. Eshom and his team will provide you with detailed care instructions to keep your implants and dentures in optimal condition. Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your oral health and ensure the long-term success of your implants.
