Implant-Supported Dentures in Myrtle Beach, SC
Implant-supported dentures are dentures fixed to the gums by mini implants. For patients with an uncomfortable or loose-fitting denture, stabilizing it with mini implants can be a more comfortable and functional solution.
How do Implant-Supported Dentures Work?
Implant-supported dentures use locator abutments or attachments that are designed for use with overdentures or partial dentures, which are retained in whole or in part by dental implants.
An implant-supported denture supports a denture, making it more secure and comfortable. It can also:
- Restore a patient’s confident smile.
- Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.
- Restore or enhance facial tissues.
What is it Like Getting Implant-Supported Dentures?
During your procedure at our Myrtle Beach dental office, Dr. Maser will surgically place the implants into the bone. They will need four to six months to heal and integrate into the bone. After healing, the denture or restoration will be attached to the implants. You may need several fitting appointments over the next several months to ensure your implant-supported dentures fit and function well.
