Implant-Supported Dentures in Cary Designed for Comfort and a Confident Smile

Implant-supported dentures are more secure than traditional dentures. Traditional dentures tend to slip, move, and cause sore spots. Implant-supported partial dentures in Cary, instead of sitting on your gums, attach to dental implants placed in your jaw, which feels more anchored and stable.

Implant-supported dentures are considered a safe and reliable treatment option for many patients with missing teeth. Most healthy adults with good jawbone support are good candidates for implant-supported dentures. However, if you have issues with gum health, bone density, or certain medical conditions, implants on top of dentures might not be the best option for you.

During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and recommend the best treatment options for your smile and overall health needs.

1. Consultation & exam: We check your teeth, do a CBCT scan, and discuss your treatment options
2. Implant surgery: Small posts are placed in your jaw to anchor the denture
3. Healing time: We will let your implants bond with the bone over 3-6 months
4. Custom denture: We create a denture custom-designed for your smile so it looks natural
5. Final fit: We place and adjust everything so it feels comfortable and secure

To properly maintain your denture implants in Cary, NC, we recommend:

• Removing it nightly and soaking it in a cleansing solution
• Brush your implants just like natural teeth
• Floss using a water flosser
• Keep up with dental visits every 6 months

The recovery timeline varies from person to person, depending on the number of implants placed and overall oral health. You can expect to experience mild soreness, swelling, or tenderness for a few days after implant placement, which can usually be managed with medication, soft foods, and rest. 

You will likely be able to return to normal daily activities within a day or two after surgery. We recommend sticking to a soft food diet during the early healing period. Our team will provide detailed instructions to help you recover comfortably and protect your new smile.

The following several months are very important to the success of the implants. The healing process, which allows implants to bond with the jawbone, typically takes between three and six months.
