Dental Implant Over Dentures
Rediscover the Joy of Eating: Implant Dentures at Prime Denture and Implant Center
Traditional dentures can easily replace missing teeth, but they can often become loose or uncomfortable due to the natural decrease in jawbone density. This can lead to problems in biting, chewing, and talking, and sometimes even social embarrassment. Fortunately, advances in dental technology have introduced a revolutionary option: implant dentures.
What are Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the functionality of traditional dentures. Small titanium screws are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. These screws support a custom-made dental plate, securely and naturally replacing your missing teeth.
Benefits of Implant Dentures
Choosing implant dentures from Prime Denture and Implant Center offers numerous benefits:
- Enhanced Stability and Comfort: Implant dentures stay firmly in place, eliminating the slipping and discomfort often associated with traditional dentures. This provides greater confidence while eating and allows you to enjoy a wider variety of foods.
- Improved Speech: Loose-fitting dentures can impair speech clarity. Implant dentures, with their secure fit, ensure clear and confident communication.
- Boosted Confidence: With firm and stable dentures, you can smile, laugh, and speak without fear of embarrassment in social situations.
- Preserves Jawbone Health: Traditional dentures may speed up jawbone atrophy. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, maintaining its health and density.
- Long-Lasting Solution: Implant-supported dentures are a long-term investment for a beautiful smile. They can serve you for many years if properly taken care of.
Implant Denture Procedure Edmonton
The implant denture process at Prime Denture and Implant Center involves several steps:
Initial Evaluation: On your first visit, our experts will evaluate the state of your teeth and determine whether you can be recommended for implant overdenture. We will also discuss what you expect to achieve and address other concerns.
Implant Placement: Dental implants are normally placed by a skilled oral surgeon. The number of implants required depends on your specific case.
Recovery Time: After the implants are placed, a healing period is necessary for the implants to fuse with the jawbone.
Denture Fabrication: Once the implants have successfully integrated with the bone, a custom-made denture will be created to fit securely over the implants.
Cost of Implant Dentures
The cost of implant-supported dentures varies widely depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed and material choices. Prime Denture and Implant Center will provide a clear outline of your costs that is individualized to your situation. Furthermore, we have several payment plans to make this transformative treatment less costly.
Implant Denture Maintenance
Implant dentures must be maintained for both the implants and the denture itself. Here are some things that should be done:
- Tooth Brushing: Use a non-abrasive denture cleaner with a soft bristle brush twice daily on implant-supported dentures.
- Interdental Cleaning (flossing): Clean between your implants using floss to remove food particles and plaque.
- Visit the Dentist Regularly: You should have regular appointments at Prime Denture and Implant Center for professional cleanings, implant health monitoring, and gum status monitoring.

Implant dentures are an excellent alternative for individuals who:
- Wear ill-fitting or ill-at-ease traditional dentures,
