Implant supported dentures represent a revolutionary advancement in tooth replacement technology, combining the comprehensive coverage of traditional dentures with the stability and security of dental implants. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives, implant supported dentures are anchored firmly to dental implants—titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone that function like tooth roots.
At Alta Dental Group, we offer several types of implant supported denture solutions, ranging from removable overdentures that snap onto implants for improved stability while remaining removable for cleaning, to permanent fixed dentures that are only removable by a dentist. This versatility allows us to create a solution perfectly tailored to your specific needs, preferences, and budget.
The strategic placement of dental implants not only secures the denture but also preserves jawbone by providing stimulation that prevents bone resorption—a common consequence of tooth loss. This preservation of bone structure maintains facial contours and prevents the collapsed appearance often associated with long-term conventional denture wear.
At Alta Dental Group, implant supported denture treatment is delivered by our elite multidisciplinary team working in seamless collaboration. Dr. Rashad Altawaty brings specialized training in implant dentistry as an Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, providing expert surgical placement and prosthetic design for optimal outcomes. His comprehensive approach ensures each aspect of your treatment—from initial planning through final delivery—is executed with precision and artistry.
Dr. Omar Bajwa contributes his extensive experience in complex restorative cases, particularly for patients transitioning from conventional dentures to implant-supported solutions. For cases requiring specialized periodontal management, Dr. Victor Perez, our board-certified periodontist, addresses aspects related to tissue health and bone augmentation when necessary, creating the optimal foundation for your implant-supported denture.
What truly distinguishes our implant denture services is the integration of Dr. Marco Savittieri, our board-certified dental anesthesiologist. His specialized training allows us to offer advanced sedation options that ensure complete comfort throughout the implant placement procedure—a significant advantage for anxious patients or those undergoing multiple implant placements in a single session.
Our in-house lab technicians complete this exceptional team, working directly with our dentists to create custom dentures that achieve the perfect balance of aesthetics and function. This collaborative approach with all specialists under one roof eliminates the coordination challenges often experienced at practices that outsource components of treatment, resulting in more efficient, predictable outcomes for our implant denture patients.
Your implant supported denture journey at Alta Dental Group begins with a comprehensive consultation and evaluation. During this initial visit, our team assesses your oral health, existing denture issues, bone structure, and treatment goals. Advanced 3D imaging provides detailed visualization of your jawbone density and anatomical structures, allowing us to determine implant feasibility and identify any preliminary treatments that may be necessary, such as bone grafting. We’ll discuss our findings with you, explain your treatment options, and develop a personalized plan aligned with your functional needs, aesthetic goals, and budget.
Treatment planning follows with our multidisciplinary team collaborating to design your ideal implant denture solution. This phase includes precise implant placement mapping, denture design considerations, and coordination of any preparatory procedures. For patients requiring sedation, Dr. Savittieri develops a customized comfort plan based on your preferences and procedure complexity. Our comprehensive approach ensures every aspect of your treatment is coordinated for optimal outcomes.
The surgical phase involves the precise placement of dental implants according to your customized treatment plan. Using surgical guides created from your 3D imaging, our specialists position each implant for optimal support and function. Depending on your specific case and the type of implant denture selected, this may be followed by a healing period of 3-4 months to allow osseointegration (fusion of the implants with your jawbone), or immediate loading of a provisional denture in cases qualifying for same-day protocols. Throughout this phase, we ensure you never go without teeth, using either your existing denture modified for temporary wear over healing implants or a provisional implant-retained prosthesis.
The restorative phase begins once your implants have successfully integrated. We take precise impressions of your implant positions and oral structures to create custom attachments and your final denture prosthesis. For removable overdentures, we carefully select the most appropriate attachment system based on your needs and dexterity. For fixed solutions, we design the prosthesis for optimal aesthetics, phonetics, and function. The final denture is meticulously crafted using premium materials and adjusted for perfect fit and comfort before being connected to your implants.
After completing your implant denture treatment, we establish a structured maintenance program to protect your investment. This includes regular professional evaluations, specialized cleaning protocols, and maintenance of attachment systems to ensure the long-term success of both your implants and prosthesis. Our team provides detailed instructions for home care specific to your type of implant denture and remains available to address any questions or adjustments needed as you adapt to your new teeth.
