Imagine a solution to missing teeth that doesn't involve the hassle of traditional dentures. Implant-supported dentures provide a stable, secure, and long-lasting alternative to conventional dentures. These innovative dental appliances are anchored to dental implants, which are surgically inserted into your jawbone, providing a solid foundation.
The answer is simple: for improved quality of life. Traditional dentures can be uncomfortable, can limit your food choices, and often require messy adhesives. Implant-supported dentures, on the other hand, are secured firmly in place, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They also help to preserve your facial structure by preventing bone loss, a common issue for those with missing teeth. Plus, with the expert care of Drs. Alex and Devin, your implant-supported dentures will be custom-made to fit perfectly and look natural.

Unlike traditional dentures that may slip or cause discomfort, implant-supported dentures are anchored securely to your jawbone. This means they won't move around in your mouth, reducing the chance of irritation and sores. They feel more like your natural teeth, providing a level of comfort that is unmatched by other tooth replacement options.
Implant-supported dentures do not just replace missing teeth; they also help to maintain your jawbone’s health. When you lose teeth, your jawbone can begin to deteriorate. However, the implants used in this treatment stimulate bone growth, helping to preserve your jawbone and overall oral health.
With implant-supported dentures, you can smile, eat, and speak without worrying about your dentures slipping or falling out. This can significantly boost your self-confidence, allowing you to engage in social activities without any worries.
During your initial consultation, you'll meet with Drs. Alex and Devin, your trusted dentist in Saratoga Springs & Gloversville. This crucial first step involves a comprehensive assessment of your oral health. Drs. Alex and Devin will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral condition. This examination helps in understanding your specific dental issues and needs.
If you're a good candidate, the next step involves a pain-free surgical procedure where Drs. Alex and Devin places dental implants into your jawbone. Using local anesthesia to keep you comfortable, she carefully places the implants into your jaw. Next, a healing period allows the implants to fuse naturally with your jawbone, ensuring a strong foundation for your new smile.
Once your implants have healed and integrated with your jawbone, your custom-made dentures are securely attached to the implants. These dentures are designed to look and feel just like natural teeth and gums. Drs. Alex and Devin and our team pay close attention to ensure they fit comfortably and securely. This step not only restores your ability to eat and speak confidently but also grants you a beautiful, natural-looking smile, which boosts your self-confidence.
