What are Implant Dentures?

Model of implant dentures in Little Rock

Implant dentures are customized prosthetics that are attached to anywhere between four to eight dental implants in Little Rock that are surgically inserted below the gumline and into the jawbone. The dental implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This provides the dentures with a strong, stable, and unwavering foundation to be anchored to.

Permanent Implant Dentures

Permanent implant dentures are secured to abutments that are attached to the dental implants and can’t be removed from your mouth. These are a great option for patients who want restorations that look and feel lifelike and don’t alter their daily lives or routines.

Removable Implant Dentures

Just like how they sound, removable implant dentures can be easily taken out of your mouth to be cleaned and sanitized. This type of implant denture is a great option for patients who are used to living with traditional dentures and who want the added convenience of removability.

The Implant Denture Process

There are four major steps that every patient has to go through during the implant denture process:

  1. The initial consultation
  2. Dental implant placement surgery
  3. Osseointegration and the placement of abutments
  4. The attachment of the permanent restoration
