The process for getting implant dentures typically involves several steps. First, your dentist will thoroughly examine you to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. This may include taking X-rays or other diagnostic images to assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. If you are a candidate for implant dentures, the next step will involve placing the dental implants into your jawbone. This is done through a minor surgical procedure and may require several appointments. The implants serve as the anchor for the denture and provide a stable foundation for the prosthetic. Once the implants have healed and fused with your jawbone, your dentist will take impressions of your mouth to create the custom denture. The denture will be carefully crafted to fit comfortably and securely onto the implants, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement for your missing teeth. After the denture is fabricated, your dentist will attach it to the implants and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a proper fit. They will also provide instructions for care and maintenance to ensure the longevity of your implant dentures.
