The Process of Getting Implant Retained Dentures

The journey to a revitalized smile begins with a detailed consultation, followed by a customized treatment plan crafted by Dr. Kashi. The process involves implanting small posts into the jawbone, which serve as anchors for the dentures, ensuring a secure fit and natural appearance. Patients receive comprehensive care and support throughout the recovery and adaptation phases.

Caring for Your Implant Retained Dentures

Maintaining implant retained dentures is straightforward, involving regular cleaning and dental check-ups. Dr. Kashi and his team provide detailed guidance on care techniques to ensure the longevity of both the dentures and the overall health of the mouth.

What makes implant retained dentures different from regular dentures?

Implant retained dentures are anchored in the jawbone with dental implants, providing superior stability and reducing bone loss compared to regular dentures that rest on the gum line.

With proper care and regular dental check-ups, implant retained dentures can last many years. The implants themselves can last a lifetime, while the denture may need replacement or adjustment over time.
