Are you missing most or all of your teeth? When you don’t have many healthy teeth left, it’s difficult to live your normal life. You may struggle to eat and speak or deal with uncomfortable, painful symptoms.
When you need to replace most of your teeth, dentures are often the best option. Instead of traditional dentures, Garr Dental Center provides implant-supported dentures as a more comfortable, durable alternative. Call today to learn more or book an appointment!
A Complete Implant Solution—All in One Office
At Garr Dental Center, we perform the entire dental implant process from start to finish right in our modern office. Unlike many other dental practices that refer you to multiple specialists, Dr. Ben Garr handles everything—from diagnosis and implant placement to securing your dentures and follow-up care. This streamlined approach ensures a more comfortable, convenient experience for you, all with the care of one trusted team.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a type of denture that attaches to dental implants. While traditional dentures attach to the gums using an adhesive, implant dentures are attached to small metal rods—called dental implants—that are inserted directly in your jaw. This makes them permanent dentures.
At Garr Dental Center, we provide All-on-X dental implants. This means you can get an entire arch of new teeth supported by only a few dental implants. You will need anywhere from 4–8 dental implants for a full set of dentures rather than an individual implant for each tooth.
At our office, you can receive dental implants and your implant-supported dentures from the same dentist. Dr. Garr can handle the entire process including diagnosis, placement, restoration, and follow-up visits. He can also perform more advanced procedures such as sinus lifts and bone grafts when necessary to give your mouth more room for the implant posts.
The Implant Dentures Process: Precision and Expertise
At Garr Dental Center, we use advanced technology and meticulous planning to ensure your implant dentures are placed accurately and beautifully:
- CT Scanner for Optimal Planning | We begin by using a CT scanner to get a full 3D understanding of your jaw structure, allowing us to determine the best placement for each implant.
- Surgical Guides for Exact Implant Placement | To ensure precision during surgery, we create a custom surgical guide for each patient. This guide ensures that every implant is placed exactly where it needs to be for maximum stability and function.
- Bone Grafts and Sinus Lifts | If you don’t have enough bone density to support the implants, Dr. Garr can perform bone grafts or sinus lifts to strengthen your jaw and create the foundation needed for successful implant placement.
- Beautiful, Natural Results | With Dr. Garr’s expertise in cosmetic dentistry, your implant-supported dentures will not only restore the function of your teeth but also provide a stunning, natural-looking smile you can be proud of.
We’re happy to answer any questions you have along the way, so don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at any time.
Why Choose Permanent Dental Implants?
While traditional dentures are sometimes necessary, implant dentures have many benefits:
- Long-Lasting Restoration: Dental implants are titanium posts that heal in your jaw like natural tooth roots. This makes them extremely long-lasting. You likely won’t ever need to have them replaced.
- Durable Smile: Dental implants are also extremely strong. When dentures attach to the implants, they have a much stronger foundation and are much more comfortable to wear than traditional dentures.
- Improved Confidence: When you are missing most of your teeth, you may feel self-conscious about your appearance. Implant dentures look and function much more naturally than traditional dentures, so you can feel better about your smile. You can rest easy knowing that your teeth are secure.
- Increased Function: Because permanent dentures are much more secure, they make it easier to chew, speak, and eat compared to traditional dentures.
Dr. Garr also uses advanced technology to ensure correct placement of dental implants for each patient.
How Much Do Denture Implants Cost?
The cost of implant dentures varies depending on how many implants you’re getting. For example, All-on-X dental implants will likely be cheaper with 4 implants than if you need 8 implants.
While it’s true that implant dentures are more expensive upfront than traditional dentures, they are a worthwhile investment. This kind of denture lasts much longer, won’t need future adjustments, and is more comfortable and natural-looking. The dental implants themselves will likely last the rest of your life, so they are a permanent solution, not a short-term fix.
Am I a Candidate for Denture Implants?
In order to be a good candidate for denture implants you should:
- Be in good overall health
- Have multiple missing or damaged teeth
- Be committed to caring for the dentures and your dental health.
- Have a strong enough jawbone to support the dental implants
While you will need enough jawbone density to support dental implants, Dr. Garr does provide additional treatments to prepare candidates for implant dentures. He can perform bone grafts and sinus lifts for people with bone density loss. So, even if you’re not yet a good candidate, he can help you get the treatment you need for your permanent dentures.
