Comfortable Implant-Supported Dentures in Apex, NC

Implant-supported dentures are a secure alternative to traditional dentures. While traditional dentures rest directly on the gums, implant-supported dentures attach directly to implants placed in your jawbone. They stay firmly in place and feel more comfortable.

Implant-supported dentures are a great option for individuals who:

• Are missing several teeth and want a long-lasting replacement. 
• Have traditional dentures that feel loose or uncomfortable. 
• Struggle with chewing certain types of food.

If any of these sound familiar, our team at Riccobene's Apex office can help.

Implant-supported dentures attach directly to implants embedded in the jawbone, unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums. This prevents slipping, shifting, and wobbling during everyday activities like eating and speaking. You get increased comfort because the dentures stay firmly in place without adhesives or frequent adjustments.

During your consultation, our team will:

• Review your oral health to get a clear picture of where things stand.
• Take x-rays or scans, if needed, to get a detailed view of your jawbone and surrounding structures.
• Check your bone support to determine whether implants are a good fit for you.
• Walk you through your options so you can make a confident, informed decision about your care.

• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a denture-oriented toothpaste to brush your teeth and the area around your dentures. Pay attention to the connection points between the dentures and the implants, which need to be cleaned thoroughly to prevent plaque buildup. 
• Remove your dentures daily and rinse them under cool running water to rinse out loose food particles and debris. 
• Avoid harmful habits such as chewing hard foods and smoking. 
• Regular check-ups at our Apex office will ensure your dentures and implants are well-maintained. We will also be able to make adjustments or repairs, if any, and catch small issues before they become bigger problems later. Professional cleaning during your visits helps remove plaque.
