Implant Supported Dentures
If you are currently missing teeth and in need of a permanent solution, the Lyons Dental Specialties can provide you with implant-supported dentures which are designed to be long-lasting, functional, and aesthetically-appealing as well. Our dental procedures are minimally invasive and cost-effective, so you don’t need to suffer physically or financially in the quest for improved oral health. We are dedicated to making this process as stress-free and seamless as possible, for each and every one of our patients.
Candidates for Implanted Supported Dentures
Ideal for patients who have enough bone mass in the jaw for the implant to grip onto, an implant-supported denture is an excellent choice. When our highly trained specialists meet with you, they will assess your oral conditions, using high-tech 3D technology to get a thorough look at the inside of your mouth, and then map out a treatment plan that suits you best.
An implant-supported denture is typically intended for the lower jaw since that area is less likely to hold a denture as well as the upper jaw, and this device is available in two types: bar-retained dentures or ball-retained dentures.
With the former, a slim metal bar adheres to a handful of implants that have been inserted into your jaw. Afterward, the denture is placed on the bar and secured in place. With the latter, each dental implant is attached to a metal ball (hence the name), and that is then placed into a socket within the denture.
