Implant Retained Dentures – Bohemia, NY

Benefits of Dental Implants

Traditional dentures rely on suction or an adhesive to hold them in place. While several advancements allow them to fit more comfortably, they do not compare to your natural teeth. Now, you can enjoy the next best thing to real teeth with dental implants.

By surgically placing dental implants into your jawbone, they anchor your denture in place. Your jaw will fuse to the posts to create a stable foundation for your new smile. This allows you to benefit from several advantages that are not possible with conventional dentures, such as:

• Over 95% success rate
• No slipping or irritation
• Potential to last for decades
• Preservation of bone density
• support for your facial structures
• Improved oral health
• Natural Look and feel
• Increase of biting force by over 70%
• More Cost–effective

How Does It Work?

Dr. Makadia creates an acrylic base to match your gum tissue. It will feature custom–made prosthetic teeth that look natural. The denture is held in place using one of two types of implant supports:

Ball–Retained Dentures

At least 2 implant posts are needed to hold individual abutments that feature a ball and socket system to clip the denture to your jaw.

Understanding the Cost of Implant–Retained Dentures

Although implant-retained dentures have a higher upfront cost than conventional tooth replacement options, they allow you to make a long-term investment in your smile. The implant posts have the potential to remain in place forever, so you will never need to worry about having them replaced.

There is no specific cost for the procedure because it is based on your individual treatment plan. Factors that can influence the price include the types of abutments that are used and if any additional procedures are needed.

Each phase of your treatment is broken into separate fees, giving you more time to pay. In some cases, you can use your insurance benefits to help lower the cost.

Caring for Your Implant–Retained Dentures

With the right aftercare, your new smile can last for several decades. To ensure it lasts as long as possible, it is best to:

• Clean around the abutments to remove food particles and bacteria.
• Visit Dr. Makadia twice a year for preventive appointments.
• Replace your attachments when they are worn.
