Atlanta, Georgia Center for Dental Implants - Dentures

Over time, as you wear the denture you had made for tooth replacement, you lose the boney structure that supports your soft tissues.  Because your soft tissues make contact with your dentures, they too will start to recede with the bone, this will leave you in a continuous state of adjustment, discomfort and difficulty with everyday functions like speaking, chewing and smiling. 

• Implant supported cosmetic dentures provide support and fixation so you can comfortably speak, chew, and smile.
• They keep your upper and lower gums from receding which prevents facial shape changes like the shrunken look to maintain a flattering cosmetic dentistry effect.

Some questions to ask about dental implants for Dr. Bruce Fink:  How many dentures implants should you consider?  Usually the minimum number is 4 implants under an upper or lower denture, but some patients have more placed to make the denture or bridge more stable.

It is important to have the best new dentures made before you start with your dental implant systems.   This establishes the aesthetics; including shape, length, and color of your teeth and establishes proper vertical dimension.  A youthful appearance achieved through correct facial dimensions, filling out the lips, cheeks and face.  The new denture also serves as a template for the location and placement of implants.  Cosmetic dentistry is both a science and an art and Dr. Fink is adept at both.  Although Dr. Bruce Fink's prices are very competitive, you will not be getting a cheap dental implant.  After evaluating your mouth, Dr. Fink will provide you with a treatment plan and prices for your anchor dental implants and dentures.  Your cost will be an affordable investment in your health, combined with the cosmetic effect you desire. 

Dental implants have been found to have very little discomfort, and certainly less pain than a tooth extraction.  Many doctors offer different levels of sedation and/or anesthesia to make you comfortable.  The post operative discomfort reported by most patients is very minimal and usually only requires an analgesic (ibuprophen) tablet. 

Under normal conditions, Dr. Bruce Fink wants to let your implant heal approximately 3-4 months before they put them into function under your denture. This allows the titanium material and surface of the implant to integrate with your bone and gives the implants to integrate with your bone and gives the implants the best chance of lasting you a lifetime.  Dr. Fink does not do the same day dental implants procedure when dentures are involved. 

Dental implants can last a lifetime for most people if they stay healthy and follow the denture care and maintenance requirements.  While you will continue to maintain your denture the same way, you will also need to brush the implant abutments daily and visit your dentist annually for a cleaning and check up. 

Usually a classic denture over 2 implants is the least expensive and least complicated restoration.  As you add more implants and crowns to create a restoration that looks and acts like real teeth, the treatment becomes more complicated and more expensive.  Talk to Dr. Bruce Fink and let him evaluate your mouth and give you all the options and prices, and you can make the decision that best suits your needs and budget.
