There are several options available for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. To determine the most suitable treatment for your specific needs, it’s important to consult with your periodontist about the pros and cons of each option. Among these, dental implants are often considered the gold standard due to their natural look, long-term durability, and ability to last for many years. However, a single implant with a crown can be quite costly—[click here for pricing]—especially for patients in need of full-mouth restoration.

Dentures offer a more affordable alternative, but they may be less convenient and comfortable, requiring regular removal, cleaning, and sometimes causing irritation to the gums or mouth. A more modern solution blends the stability of implants with the affordability of dentures. Techniques like All-on-4, All-on-6, and Teeth Tomorrow use just four or six implants per arch, instead of the traditional eight. This approach not only lowers the cost but also shortens the recovery period.

The Treatment Process

The denture treatment process is designed to restore your smile comfortably and efficiently. From initial consultation to final fitting, each step ensures a custom fit, natural look, and improved oral function.

Step:1 Initial Consultation

Your dentist will perform a full oral examination, including X-rays or digital scans, to assess your overall dental health and determine if dentures are right for you. They will also discuss the types of dentures available—full, partial, or implant-supported.

Step:2 Tooth Extraction

If you have damaged or decayed teeth that cannot be saved, your dentist may recommend extracting them. In some cases, immediate (temporary) dentures can be placed on the same day.

Step:3 Impressions & Measurements

Once your mouth is ready, detailed impressions of your gums, jaw, and any remaining teeth are taken. These molds are used to create custom-fit dentures that match your mouth’s shape and bite.

Step:4 Bite Registration & Try In

Your dentist will record how your upper and lower jaws come together to ensure a natural bite. A wax try-in version of your denture may be created to check fit, shape, and aesthetics before the final denture is made.

Step:5 Final Denture Placement

Once your final dentures are ready, they will be adjusted and fitted to ensure comfort and proper function. Your dentist will make sure they fit snugly and look natural.

Step:6 Adjustment & Follow Up

It may take a few weeks to get used to wearing dentures. Follow-up appointments are important to make minor adjustments, ease sore spots, and ensure a secure fit.

Step:7 Long Term Care & Maintenance

Your dentist will guide you on how to clean and care for your dentures. Regular checkups are essential to monitor your oral health and the fit of your dentures over time.

Who Are Good Candidates for Dental Implants?

If you need full-mouth reconstruction or a complete arch replacement, implant-supported dentures like All-on-4 may be the ideal solution. Schedule a consultation with a dentist experienced in implant-supported procedures to explore your options. If you currently wear removable dentures, you may have experienced some bone loss that requires treatment before the procedure. Your dentist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your jawbone health to determine if implant-supported dentures are the right choice for you.
