Implant Dentures in Vista, CA

What Are Implant Dentures?

Implant dentures are a hybrid solution that combines dentures with dental implants to hold the prosthetic securely in place. We offer:

• Implant-Supported Dentures: Fixed dentures that are permanently attached to implants. These are not removable by the patient and function like natural teeth.
  
• Implant Overdentures: Removable dentures that “snap” onto implants for a secure fit but can be taken out for cleaning. These offer a balance between stability and convenience.
  

Both options offer greater comfort, stability, and chewing power compared to conventional full or partial dentures.

Benefits of Implant Dentures

Patients choose implant dentures because they:

• Don’t slip or shift while eating or speaking
  
• Eliminate the need for adhesives
  
• Help preserve jawbone density and facial structure
  
• Provide stronger bite force for a wider range of foods
  
• Look and feel more like natural teeth
  
• Improve speech and overall oral health
  

For patients with adequate bone structure, implant dentures can restore function and appearance more effectively than removable dentures alone.

Who Is a Candidate?

Dr. Antwan will assess your eligibility based on:

• Jawbone health and density
  
• Overall oral and medical health
  
• Whether you currently wear dentures
  
• Your goals and preferences for fixed vs. removable prosthetics
  

If you’re not ready for a full set of implant dentures, we also offer Dental Implants for single or multiple missing teeth.

What to Expect from Treatment

1. Consultation and Imaging
   Dr. Antwan will evaluate your smile, take digital X-rays, and determine the number and placement of implants needed.
   
2. Implant Placement
   Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. Healing may take several weeks as the implants integrate with the bone.
   
3. Denture Design and Placement
   Once healed, your custom denture is either snapped onto or permanently attached to the implants. Final adjustments ensure comfort, bite, and function.
   
4. Aftercare and Maintenance
   We’ll guide you through care instructions and offer regular checkups to keep your restoration in top condition.
   

Many patients prefer implant overdentures initially for ease and affordability, with the option to upgrade to fixed implant-supported dentures later.
