Implant-Supported Dentures in Durango, CO

Full-Arch Replacement With Dental Implants

Dentures are the most common restoration option for patients missing one or both arches of teeth. Although they’re popular, dentures are dependent on uncomfortable and messy adhesives to stay in place.

Here at West Dental Implants & Prosthetics, we offer implant-supported dentures as a more convenient alternative to traditional dentures. This incredible restoration solution uses dental implants to directly secure your dentures to your jawbone.

Learn about the types of implant-supported dentures, which benefits to expect, and whether you’re a candidate.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a great way to restore a full arch of missing teeth with dental implants. Compared to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures provide patients with a number of advantages. These include:

  • Won’t slide out of place
  • Maintains healthy bone density
  • Prevents signs of premature aging
  • Doesn’t require messy adhesives
  • Improves chewing and speaking function

Instant Results With All-on-4®

We proudly feature the All-on-4® system as a popular, state-of-the-art restorative treatment to replace a missing arch of teeth. This tooth replacement solution uses four, natural-looking dental implants to secure a set of dentures in each arch. All-on-4 offers maximum stability, comfort, and convenience with immediate results.

Dr. Robison also offers additional types of implant-supported dentures, including snap-on, fixed, and overdentures. At your consultation, examine your oral health and help you decide which tooth replacement option is best for you.

How long does the denture process take?

The process for implant-supported dentures can be completed in as little as two to three appointments to our office in Durango, CO. After your consultation, custom-made dental implants will be secured to the jawbone, taking about three to six months to heal. 

Once they’re ready, you’ll return for your second appointment where we’ll place a dental crown on top of each implant. These are worn for about two weeks, then the crowns are replaced with abutments. If it’s a good fit, your teeth will be permanently secured in place.

Are there complications associated with dentures?

Possible complications related to dentures can be prevented by maintaining good oral hygiene. This means using a soft-bristled toothbrush at least twice a day and flossing regularly. It’s also important to come in to West Dental Implants & Prosthetics for routine check-ups and cleanings every six months. However, complications that may occur include:

  • Difficulty chewing or speaking
  • Dentures that slip or move around
  • Oral infection
  • Gum or mouth irritation
  • Clicking while eating

If you’re experiencing any of these problems, contact our office immediately at (970) 259-5600, so we can get your health back on track.

Does insurance cover implant-supported dentures?

Most insurance companies will cover a portion of the cost associated with traditional dentures. However, implant-supported dentures aren’t typically covered by insurance policies. It’s best to contact your provider before your initial consultation. If you’d like, we can contact them for you to help you get a better understanding of your coverage.

How much do implant-supported dentures cost?

The cost of dentures, specifically implant-supported dentures, can range anywhere from $300 to $5,000 depending on several factors. This includes the state of your oral health, type of denture used, number of arches restored, and if a supplemental procedure is needed. The best way to get an estimate is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Robison. He’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and include a breakdown of the cost.
