What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
For many people, the word "dentures" brings up memories of older family members struggling to keep their teeth in place with pastes and other adhesives. At Coyne Oral Surgery, we offer a more sophisticated denture solution for patients in Franklin, TN: implant-supported dentures. These replacement teeth are securely anchored in your jawbone with metal posts, empowering you to eat, talk, and smile with confidence. With their durable construction and natural look, implant-supported dentures provide a long-lasting solution that feels and functions like your real teeth. If you're ready to explore how implant-supported dentures can enhance your quality of life, schedule a consultation with Dr. Cathleen Coyne today.
How Do Implant Denture Treatments Work?
To make sure your mouth is healthy enough for implant dentures, Dr. Coyne will perform a thorough exam with digital x-rays to assess the strength of your gums and jawbone. If the gums or jawbone are too weak to hold the implanted posts, a bone and/or gum graft surgery may be performed. Once the area has healed and is strong enough, we'll schedule your denture implant surgery. Depending on your needs, we can replace the upper arch, lower arch, or both.
Your mouth will be numbed with local anesthesia before the surgery. Other sedation options (including IV sedation or nitrous oxide) can be considered if the process will be lengthy or if it helps you feel more comfortable. Dr. Coyne will make surgical incisions in your gums and put implant posts in the holes in the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures typically require at least four posts in each arch (upper and lower) to stay in place. After placing the implant, Dr. Coyne will close up the incisions, leaving part of the post above the gumline. The posts will be covered with a temporary denture as your mouth heals and the implants integrate with your jawbone and gums, which usually takes 4 – 6 months. Once the healing period is complete, Dr. Coyne will attach your custom-made dentures and adjust them for the most secure fit.
What Are the Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant dentures provide a durable, attractive tooth replacement for Franklin, TN patients looking to enhance their smile without the hassles that come with traditional dentures. Some of the key benefits of implant-supported dentures include:
- Prevents jawbone degradation often associated with tooth loss
- Offers an optimal fit, reducing the risk of irritation or inflammation
- Provides a durable, long-lasting option
- Enables the comfortable eating of a variety of foods
- Stays securely in place while speaking or eating, eliminating shifting
- Boosts self-confidence by offering a natural-looking, stable solution for missing teeth
The final cost of your implant denture treatment will depend on several factors, including the number of implants and whether or not we need to perform bone grafting surgery. Your dental insurance policy may cover some of the cost of your implant treatment, but this can vary. Our team at Coyne Oral Surgery will be happy to help you understand your insurance coverage and payment options.
Coyne Oral Surgery Reviews
Incredibly compassionate doctor and staff. I cannot recommend this office enough. Fair pricing and highly skilled. The best!
Had an impacted wisdom tooth with cyst removed yesterday by Dr Coyne and I can’t imagine it going any better! I too was one of those very anxious patients and looking back that was probably the hardest part of my procedure. The wait. So if you’re considering using Dr Coyne and her team for some type of oral surgery…just DO IT!! Friendly people who are VERY good at what they do.
I was extremely nervous about getting my wisdom teeth removed. Dr Coyne and her assistant Marlena were incredible! Marlena made my experience incredible through her comforting communication before and during the procedure. I can't thank her enough. Dr Coyne is an absolute Professional at what she does. She was so fast and efficient when she removed my teeth. I barely have any pain or swelling. I highly recommend everyone who needs Oral Surgery to go to them. You won't find a better place!
I recently endured the most severe tooth pain I have ever encountered, and the team at Coyne Oral Surgery went above and beyond to ensure my tooth was extracted on the same day. I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional customer service I received. I will wholeheartedly recommend their services to everyone.
They did an amazing job. Everyone was very friendly. They walked me through every step as they were doing it. They do everything they can to make you comfortable. I will definitely be going back. Thank you for all the help 💕🙏🏻
