Implant Dentures

Ditch the Adhesive & Enjoy Stable Teeth

Many patients find themselves unsatisfied with their traditional dentures because they’re not as stable and secure as they would have hoped. If you’re frustrated with messy denture adhesive or want to improve your smile by replacing an arch of missing teeth, implant dentures in Baytown may be a great option for you. To learn more about this advanced tooth replacement method, including whether you’re a good candidate, don’t hesitate to contact our office to schedule a consultation today for implant dentures at Aesthetic Family Dentistry!

What Are Implant Dentures?

While traditional dentures are a great choice for some patients, we understand that they’re not built for everybody’s lifestyle, which is why we also offer implant dentures. By securing your prosthetic onto anywhere from two to eight dental implants that we place below the gumline, we’re able to eliminate reliance on adhesive and natural suction to provide your replacement teeth with unmatched stability. The implants fuse with your jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration, replacing the missing roots of your teeth and making sure that your denture never slips or shifts.

Our dental office provides two separate types of implant dentures depending on your preferences and needs.

Fixed / Permanent Implant Dentures

Once attached, a fixed implant denture stays firmly in place, only able to be removed by a dentist. On average, this prosthetic requires the placement of four to eight implant posts at various points along the jawbone. By always remaining in the mouth, a permanent implant denture can be cleaned with daily brushing and flossing – just like natural teeth!

Removable Implant Dentures

Your implant denture can also be designed to be removable (at least, the prosthetic is removable – the implant posts stay in your jaw at all times). Also known as “Snap-On dentures,” this solution can be ideal if you’d rather not adjust your routine of taking out your denture for cleaning. It may also benefit patients who have sustained jawbone loss, as it only requires two to five implants in most cases.

The Implant Denture Process

Since Dr. Dean Hutto and his team are experienced professionals, we can complete the entire dental implant process in-house. As a result, you’ll enjoy comfort and peace of mind from working with the same implant dentist in Baytown from start to finish. Here is a breakdown of the implant denture process when you visit Aesthetic Family Dentistry:

  • The initial consultation
  • Preparatory procedures such as bone grafting in the jaw, tooth extractions, or gum disease therapy (if needed)
  • Dental implant placement surgery
  • Waiting up to six months for the implants to integrate with your jawbone
  • Crafting and placing your denture

During your initial consultation, our team will walk you through a detailed timeline of your process so that you know what to expect.

Am I a Candidate for Implant Dentures?

The best candidates for implant dentures are patients who:

  • Are missing an entire arch of teeth.
  • Have a dense and strong enough jawbone to support the dental implants.
  • Don’t have oral health problems that could cause healing complications, such as gum disease.
  • Have good physical health, including not having any medical conditions that impact their immune system.
  • Don’t smoke or use tobacco.

Even if you’re not an “ideal candidate” for dental implants in Baytown from the start, there are several ways to get you there, including gum disease treatment and preparatory procedures, such as bone grafts. That’s why the best way to find out whether you’re truly eligible for this procedure is to visit us for a consultation.

Benefits of Combining Dentures & Dental Implants

Implant dentures offer a variety of unique benefits that make them a popular choice among patients and professionals alike. Some of these advantages that you’ll be able to enjoy include:

  • A natural look and feel
  • Enhanced chewing and speaking ability
  • Jawbone preservation
  • Maintaining your natural facial structure
  • Easy maintenance
  • Reliable results with a lifespan of 35+ years
