Restore Your Smile’s Full Functionality with Implant Partial Dentures
Getting implants takes the stress out of replacing lost teeth. You undergo a one-time oral surgery procedure to restore your beautiful smile fully. If you’re replacing multiple teeth, Dr. Kerry Hahn and Dr. Dmitriy Ivanov recommend an implant-supported partial denture to make your smile whole again. You can learn more about implant partial dentures at Los Alamitos Dental Care in Los Alamitos, California. We often receive questions about implant denture procedures.
What are implants, and how do they work?
Implants are titanium screws used to support artificial teeth to restore your smile after natural teeth go missing. These screws function like tooth roots in keeping your new teeth firmly in place when you bite and chew. You can replace multiple missing teeth with implant partial dentures. Dr. Dmitriy Ivanov will surgically insert two or three implants in your jawbone to anchor your partial dentures. We’ll then wait three to six months for the implants to integrate with your bone and heal. The last step is attaching abutments and new teeth to complete your smile.  Â
How do implant-supported partial dentures differ from traditional partial dentures?
One major difference is that permanent implants anchor dentures in place for stability and support. Unlike traditional dentures, they’ll never slip or come loose. Implant teeth function like real teeth for smiling, laughing, talking, and eating. They also have an authentic, natural appearance as your entire tooth structure is restored. Implant dentures stimulate jawbone growth to preserve your jaw, something traditional dentures can’t do. Whereas traditional dentures need to be upgraded every 5 to 10 years, quality implant dentures can last up to 20 years.Â

Is it painful to get implant partial dentures?
Implant surgery is done under local anesthesia to keep you comfortable and pain-free. Dr. Dmitriy Ivanov also offers sedation options to help you have a stress-free treatment. It’s not unusual to experience gum swelling or soreness for a few days after your procedure. These symptoms can be relieved with OTC or prescription pain medication.Â

Can implant-supported partial dentures be removed?
The implants themselves are permanent. However, you can choose between removable or non-removable partial dentures to restore your smile. Removable partials can be taken out at night for cleaning and soaking to keep them flexible. Non-removable implant-supported partial dentures stay permanently in your mouth and are brushed and flossed like natural teeth. Routine checkups by Dr. Hahn and cleanings by our team will ensure your restorations remain in good shape in the long term.
Am I a good candidate for implant-supported partial dentures?
If you’re missing multiple teeth and have good oral, general, and jawbone health, you could be a good candidate for implant partial denture treatment. Dr. Hahn can discuss all these aspects with you during your initial consultation. Â
