Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures are one of the most effective restorative dentistry options available, and a popular alternative to dentures, which affect your speech, limit the types of foods you can enjoy, and may even be painful. Implant supported dentures provide improved functionality and a reduced risk of developing future oral and general health issues through the placement of two or four dental implants, which your denture snaps onto.

Aftercare Instructions
Aftercare instructions will be provided following your implant supported dentures procedure. It is important to closely follow these and the following instructions to reduce your risk of complications and have a fast recovery period. You may experience swelling, mild discomfort and sensitivity, which can be managed with OTC pain relieving medication and/or ice packs. If prescribed pain-relieving medication and/or antibiotics, take as directed. It is also important to stick to soft foods and chew away from the implant site, gradually reintroducing foods as the implant heals.
It is important to take good care of your dentures to ensure they look their best, continue to be comfortable, and are clean. This includes removing your dentures after eating, cleaning your cheeks, tongue, and the roof of your mouth whenever removing your dentures, brushing your dentures daily, and soaking your dentures overnight.
Finally, the most important step you can take to preserve your oral health and avoid the need for additional procedures is to schedule a regular examination with us at least twice a year, or with greater regularity if you are at an increased risk of developing oral health issues. These visits ensure that Dr. Forbes can evaluate your oral health and identify issues before they develop into something worse. They also allow us to perform one of our three types of dental exams: a limited exam (for specific concerns), comprehensive exam (thorough examination of your overall oral health followed by treatment recommendations), or our signature exam (which includes the comprehensive exam as well as a full head and neck exam and ideas for a Digital Smile Design).
Cost of Implant Supported Dentures
Several factors will determine the total cost of implant supported dentures, such as the severity of your case, whether two or four implants are needed, if dental sedation is required, and whether the procedure is covered (and if so, how much) by your dental insurance plan. Prior to scheduling any procedure, we will discuss the anticipated costs, verify your benefits (if applicable) to determine out-of-pocket costs, and answer any questions you may have about billing.
If you are not covered under a dental insurance plan, or if you are simply interested in saving money, consider joining the Capital Dental Design Membership Plan. Although we make every effort to keep our services affordable for all patients, joining our membership plan allows us to save you even more money by covering the cost of preventive care such as cleanings, exams, and routine x-rays. We also offer discounts of 10-15% on other dental services offered at our clinic. To learn more about our membership plan, payment options, or anticipated costs, contact our office today!
