A New Take on Dentures

Are you considering dentures? Are you concerned about them being painful or slipping out at an embarrassing moment? Implant-retained dentures may be the solution for you.

Implant-retained dentures work differently than traditional full or partial dentures. They are held firmly in place using several dental implant posts that Dr. Patel has placed with precision thanks to his advanced training and state-of-the-art dental technology. These implant posts prevent the arch of teeth from shifting or coming out, restoring your confidence in your bite and your smile.

What’s the healing process like for dental implants?

The healing process for dental implants typically takes a few months. After the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, the bone gradually fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration, which can take three to six months. During this time, patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling, which is managed with pain relief. Once healing is complete, the permanent crown or prosthetic is attached, restoring full function.

In addition to the physical healing, it’s important for patients to maintain good oral hygiene during the recovery period to prevent infection and ensure the best possible outcome. Regular follow-up visits with the dentist are essential to monitor the healing process and make any necessary adjustments. Patients are often advised to stick to a soft food diet initially and avoid certain activities that could disrupt the implant site. Emotional support and patience are also crucial, as the process can feel lengthy, but the end result—a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile—can significantly enhance one’s quality of life.
