Elgin, TX Implant Supported Dentures

Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and rely on adhesives or natural suction to stay in place. For many Elgin residents, this can lead to problems with slipping, difficulty eating certain foods, and concerns about speaking confidently. Implant-supported dentures offer significant advantages:

Enhanced Stability and Function

Implant-supported dentures are anchored directly to your jawbone through strategically placed dental implants in Elgin. This secure foundation eliminates slipping and shifting, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh with complete confidence. You’ll experience up to 90% of your natural chewing ability compared to just 30-40% with conventional dentures.

Bone Preservation

When teeth are lost, the jawbone naturally begins to deteriorate over time. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that stimulates the jawbone, helping to maintain bone density and facial structure. For Elgin patients concerned about facial aging after tooth loss, this benefit is particularly valuable.

Improved Comfort and Fit

Because implant-supported dentures don’t press directly on your gums, they eliminate many of the discomfort issues associated with traditional dentures, including sore spots and gum irritation. Elgin patients report a more natural feeling with implant-supported options.

Long-Term Value

While the initial investment is higher than traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures often provide better long-term value for Elgin residents. Their durability, functional benefits, and ability to preserve bone make them a wise investment in your oral health.

Our Elgin patients benefit from our significant investment in cutting-edge dental technology:

CT-Guided Implant Placement

We perform all our implants in-office using CT-guided technology. This advanced approach utilizes our CBCT (cone beam CT scanner) to create surgical guides that ensure precise implant placement. The CT-guided process results in quicker healing times and more predictable outcomes compared to traditional techniques.

Digital Impressions and 3D Printing

Rather than uncomfortable traditional impressions, we use digital scanning technology to create precise digital models of your mouth. Our 3D printing capabilities allow us to fabricate surgical guides and temporary prosthetics with exceptional accuracy.

Same-Day Capabilities

For qualified Elgin patients, we can provide immediate-load protocols that allow for the placement of a temporary denture on the same day as implant surgery, minimizing time spent without teeth.

Types of Implant-Supported Denture Options for Elgin Patients

We offer several implant-supported denture solutions to meet the unique needs of our Elgin patients:

Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis (All-on-X)

This permanent solution uses multiple implants (typically 4-6 per arch) to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The prosthesis is fixed in place and can only be removed by a dentist. We offer various material options, including zirconia for maximum durability and aesthetics.

For patients concerned about cost, we offer an innovative solution using 3D-printed permanent resins that have been FDA-cleared for final restorations. This option provides excellent quality at a significantly lower price point than traditional zirconia restorations.

Overdentures

These removable dentures snap onto implants using specialized attachments, providing stability while allowing you to remove the denture for cleaning. This option typically requires fewer implants than fixed solutions, making it more accessible for many Elgin patients.

Hybrid Options

We can create customized solutions that combine aspects of fixed and removable systems based on your specific needs, preferences, and budget. Our goal is to find the perfect balance of function, aesthetics, and affordability for each Elgin patient.

3. Guided Implant Surgery: Using CT-guided technology, we precisely place the dental implants according to your treatment plan.

5. Final Restoration: Once healing is complete, we attach your custom-designed denture to the implants, restoring your smile and function.

Affordable Implant-Supported Dentures for Elgin Residents
