A Stable, Long-Term Solution for Missing Teeth
If you're tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures or you're seeking a more permanent tooth replacement solution, implant dentures offer exceptional stability and comfort. At Civic Dental, Dr. Dunya Antwan provides implant-supported dentures and implant overdentures in Vista, CA to help patients eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.
Unlike traditional dentures, implant dentures are secured to dental implants placed in your jaw, offering superior function and a more natural feel. Whether you’re new to dentures or looking to upgrade, we’re here to customize a solution that suits your smile.
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
- Consultation and Imaging
Dr. Antwan will evaluate your smile, take digital X-rays, and determine the number and placement of implants needed. - Implant Placement
Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. Healing may take several weeks as the implants integrate with the bone. - 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. - 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.
