Implants & Dentures
Tired of dentures that slip, click, or pull away when you eat? An implant-supported denture anchors your prosthesis to a small number of strategically placed dental implants - eliminating the need for adhesives, restoring chewing strength, and bringing back the confidence to smile and speak naturally.
Dr. Azari has more than 26 years of experience as a prosthodontist, with an exceptional understanding of the dynamics of a smile and the preservation of a healthy mouth. His sensible approach to restoring and replacing teeth with implants offers superior function and aesthetics. Our on-site dental lab allows for greater affordability and the control necessary to achieve the finest, most natural-looking implant-supported denture.
Tremendous numbers of people are missing teeth, and many wear removable dentures or bridgework. If you've been struggling with loose-fitting dentures, you already know the awkwardness of eating and smiling in public. We can restore your ability to eat the foods you prefer and to smile with confidence again.
An implant-supported denture is an investment in your dental wellbeing - and first and foremost, it's an investment in you. We encourage you to take the time to get all the facts before making a decision.
A more comfortable, more confident, more capable replacement for traditional dentures.
The implant procedure can be completed in a single visit and can be done under local anesthesia. For patients who prefer to sleep through the surgery, IV sedation is also an option.
During the procedure, several implants are placed into the jaw with abutment posts. Temporary teeth are then attached to the implant posts - or, if your jawbone needs additional time to heal, a temporary prosthesis is worn over the gums while healing takes place.
Post-procedure discomfort is ordinarily trivial and temporary. We can prescribe pain relievers as needed.
Patients will need to eat a soft diet during the primary healing period. The duration of immediate healing depends on your oral health and commonly varies between three to six months.
For a brief period after the procedure, a medicated mouthwash is used to promote healing. During this time, you'll be advised not to brush your teeth or use a water flosser. We'll guide you on how to maintain dental hygiene at every step of the recovery to promote a successful treatment outcome.
Only a qualified clinician can determine the most suitable implant treatment plan. We invite you to book a no-obligation consultation to learn about the benefits and risks and find out whether implant treatment is suitable for your situation.
The cost for an implant-supported denture can vary quite a bit. The price depends on the doctor's experience, the patient's oral health, and the quality of materials used in the restoration. Poor dental health may require additional treatments. Tooth extractions - often partially covered by dental insurance - can change the price as well.
Dr. Azari fabricates dentures from a range of materials, including zirconia, composite resin, porcelain, acrylic resin, and acrylic. Acrylic and porcelain are the most common. Top-tier dentures require more labor and use more expensive materials, like highly translucent zirconia.
Restorations made of zirconia are more robust than porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM). Zirconia restorations are naturally beautiful, transmitting the color of neighboring teeth, and can be color-matched to any shade of existing teeth.
Choosing the best material for your denture teeth is important - it affects their wearability and comfort. During your consultation, Dr. Azari will guide you through your options and provide the most suitable alternatives for your budget.
