Implant-supported dentures in Commack and Dix Hills

What are Implant-Supported Dentures?

In Commack, Dix Hills, and the surrounding area, the team at Helfner Dental Associates can provide implant-supported dentures that will help you look and feel your best. Like traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures consist of multiple teeth connected to dental plates. These dentures are designed to replace an entire row of teeth and provide a natural and attractive appearance for patients who receive these treatment options.

Unlike traditional dentures, dentures supported by implants are permanently attached and can only be removed in the dentist office. These dentures offer superior stability and improved appearance for most patients. At Helfner Dental Associates, we are proud to offer affordable and high-quality implant-supported dentures for our patients.

How Do Implant-Supported Dentures Work?

If you are a good candidate for implant-supported dentures, our dental team will discuss with you your options for implants and dentures during a consultation in our office. We will explain the benefits of these dental procedures to you and walk you through the process to help you to determine if these options are suitable for you.

Dental implants must be surgically placed several months before the dentures can be attached. This allows time for the implants to fuse and heal in the jawbone in order to create secure attachment points for your new artificial teeth.

How Much Do Implant-Supported Dentures Cost?

If you are worried about the cost of implant-supported dentures, our team can provide you with accurate estimates of the overall cost of your treatment. While most dental insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like implant dentures, our team will work with you to provide an affordable cost with a payment plan to fit your needs. At Helfner Dental Associates, we are committed to providing you with the best opportunities for accessing implant-supported dentures and will work with you to deliver the right services for your needs and your budget.

How Do You Care for Implant-Supported Dentures?

When the dental implants have been surgically placed, you will be provided with detailed instructions on how to care for the implants during the healing process. It is important not to move or bump the implants during the healing stages. The oral surgeon will typically schedule routine appointments the following several weeks to make sure that the healing process is going smoothly and that the implants are in the correct spots for your denture application.

Once your implant-supported dentures have been applied, you can follow the instructions given by your dentist to maintain the dentures in the most effective ways possible. At Helfner Dental Associates, we recommend annual visits to check on the fit and function of your implant-supported dentures and to ensure the best dental health for you.

Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?

The most important benefit of an implant-supported denture application is the ability to wear the denture securely at all times. This allows for greater confidence knowing that your appearance does not radically change like when you take out removable dentures. Implant-supported dentures can only be removed in the dentist office, allowing you to feel more secure about how you look at all times.

Your implant-supported dentures will also provide added stability when eating the foods you love. You can bite and chew with greater confidence because the implants used to secure these dentures work just like the roots of natural teeth. An implant-supported denture cannot slip out of place, avoiding any embarrassment or difficulty during eating or speaking.
