Murfreesboro dental implant periodontists Dr. Gaydos-Daniel and Dr. Kim offer a dental implant procedure that makes dentures more comfortable, functional and stable. With implant supported dentures, you can enjoy the freedom of dining and socializing without worry. No more slips or embarrassing noise.
Implant supported dentures are also therapeutic because implants behave like real tooth roots to stimulate the jaw bone and keep it vital, while standard dentures can actually lead to bone loss.
The Dental Implant Procedure that Makes Dentures Better
This versatile dental implant procedure can improve the way dentures look and feel in both the upper and lower jaw with either a permanent or temporary model.
Bar-Retained Dentures
A bar-retained denture is worn just above the gum line and locked in place for a slip-free, comfortable smile. After examining your mouth and locating the best areas to place the implants, Dr. Gaydos-Daniel and Dr. Kim will install the implants and then connect them with a thin line of wire. The denture is then placed on top of the wire and clipped tightly in place.
Ball-Retained Dentures
A ball-retained denture is also called a stud-attached denture and work using a ball and socket. This denture is also palate-free, which allows the roof of the mouth to enjoy the textures and taste of food and beverages. After examining your mouth and locating the best areas to place the ball-tipped implants, they will be installed. The denture, which features little matching sockets, is then lined up with the studded implants and pressed into place.
