All Missing Teeth – Milwaukee, WI
Enjoy Implant-Retained Dentures for a Complete Smile
Do you struggle to chew your favorite foods? Do you often decline lunch or dinner dates because your poor-fitting dentures make it too embarrassing to eat in public? Although over 22 million people in the U.S. choose dentures to complete their smiles, you have another option. You can regain the next best thing to your natural teeth with dental implants in Milwaukee. Now, you can secure your denture to your jawbone, so you will never need to worry about any slipping or irritation again.
How Do Implant-Retained Dentures Work?
Dental implants were first introduced in the United States in the mid-1980s. Since then, they have helped more than 500,000 people per year treat their missing teeth. When used as an alternative to a traditional denture, they transform the lives of those who are missing all their teeth.
Instead of using an adhesive or suction to hold the denture in place, an average of 4 implant posts secure it to your jawbone. This eliminates any slipping or irritation to restore as much as 70% of your biting force.
Am I A Candidate for Implant-Retained Dentures?
If you are missing all your teeth, you may be a candidate for implant-retained dentures. They are ideal for those who have good oral and general health. Your jawbone must be able to support the posts. If your jawbone is compromised, you can still benefit from dental implants using bone grafting to enhance its density.
Dr. Franzen performs a comprehensive consultation, which includes x-rays and a CT scan to assess your oral structures. Based on his qualifications and experience, he creates the customized treatment plan you need to return your confidence, boost your self-esteem, and encourage healthy living.
The Implant-Retained Dentures Procedure
Titanium posts are placed into the jawbone in a gentle surgical procedure, which is often simpler than a tooth extraction. Although the procedure sounds invasive, many patients experience less post-operative discomfort than with an extraction. Often, only extra-strength Tylenol or Advil are needed to manage your discomfort.
You will need to wait for 8 to 16 weeks for your jawbone to heal before you can have your temporary denture attached to the posts. In some cases, your dentist in Milwaukee, Dr. Franzen can create immediate load dentures, which are placed the same day as your implant surgery.
Benefits of Combining Dentures & Dental Implants
The dental implant posts act as new tooth roots, allowing them to provide exceptional benefits that are not possible with any other treatment, including:
- Over a 95% 10-year success rate.
- Looks and feels natural.
- Eliminates slipping and irritation.
- Regain as much as 70% of your biting force.
