How Long Will It Take to Get Implant-Supported Denture?

Dentures that are retained with dental implants are becoming an increasingly popular option for people who currently wear loose full dentures. By using dental implants that are firmly held within the jawbone, implant-supported denture can be held securely in place, eliminating the discomfort, jawbone loss and lack of food options that are common problems when wearing removable dentures. We think this treatment is wonderful and it is a solution that Dr. Navid Rahmani often recommends to patients with problem dentures. However we do find that many people are initially a little concerned about the length of time taken to complete treatment. Whereas traditional dental implant treatment in Manhattan often takes quite a few months to complete, the process for patients wishing to have implant retained dentures can be a little different and much faster.

Immediate Load Dental Implants

This is a technique where dental implants can be immediately loaded and means we can fit your new implant-supported denture soon after the implants are surgically placed in jawbone, eliminating the need to wait several months for the implants to integrate and bond with the jawbone. One particular method is called All-on-four and it is especially popular due the fact that only four dental implants are used which makes treatment highly affordable. These dental implants are extremely specialized and are angled to take advantage of existing bone, usually eliminating the need for any bone grafts prior to surgery.

There is another reason why the dental implants are angled as this allows Dr. Rahmani to use longer implant posts, creating greater stability for your new implant-supported denture. Additionally once the denture is placed in position it ensures the dental implants cannot move so the process of Osseo integration will still take place, just while you have your new denture. By securing the new dentures so they cannot move, they will be able to bond firmly within your jawbone so there is no need to worry that this treatment offers any sort of compromise for the long-term success of your dental implants.  In fact it has been widely used since the 1990s with very good long-term results. All-on-four can be an amazing treatment and has already provided many patients with the confidence that comes from knowing your beautiful new teeth are completely stable and strong. Foods that have been off-limits for years are suddenly easy to eat and life can become a whole lot more enjoyable.

Planning and Preparation to Dental Implant Procedure

As with any type of dental implant procedure, careful planning is essential for the success of this treatment and is something that Dr. Rahmani takes extremely seriously. Much of this planning is done behind the scenes using diagnostic information that will have been collected from you during your initial visits to Manhattan Periodontics & Implant Surgery. These diagnostic tests include dental x-rays and most importantly a CT scan of your jaw. This 3-D image provides information that is absolutely essential. Using your CT scan, Dr.Rahmani can analyze the amount of available bone, as well as the location of nerves, blood vessels and other important structures that must be avoided during implant-supported denture surgery. This enables him to plan exactly where the implants will be inserted during your treatment and ensures that the entire treatment process is much smoother and more comfortable for you.
