Spanish As we begin to lose our teeth, the desire for stable, comfortable, and natural-looking replacement options leads to the search for affordable implant dentures. Implant dentures have been changing lives by addressing the common grievances associated with traditional dentures, but the cost of such a comprehensive procedure is often a concern. At Happy Smiles Family Dentistry, we’re proud to offer implant dentures supported by mini dental implants. This mini evolution of traditional implants is less invasive, heals more quickly, is just as reliable, and is more affordable than larger implants. They make implant dentures a more cost-effective solution for tooth replacement.
The Limitations of Traditional Dentures
Many old-fashioned denture wearers face challenges. While traditional dentures can restore some of the mouth’s basic function and aesthetics, they often lack a secure fit, among other issues.
Over time, the once-snug fit of a conventional denture will begin to change. This stems from the natural process of jawbone deterioration after tooth loss, a problem traditional dentures can’t prevent. These loose dentures will lead to soreness and discomfort and will negatively affect your eating and speaking abilities. Denture wearers live with a constant fear of the prosthetic “floating” out of place or even falling out of their mouth!
What Are Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures are an innovative solution to the pitfalls of traditional dentures. By anchoring to the jawbone with titanium screws called dental implants, these prosthetics offer unparalleled stability and significantly improved functionality. This connection ensures that the dentures do not shift or slip, giving patients confidence in their smiles.
Perhaps most importantly, implant dentures replace missing tooth roots, preventing the jawbone deterioration that comes with missing teeth. This keeps your bone structure intact and preserves facial appearance.
At Happy Smiles Family Dentistry, we want to offer the most modern, efficient denture solutions possible. That’s why we secure our dentures with mini dental implants, a smaller, less invasive, but equally reliable implant. We can place these slim titanium posts in just one appointment without incisions, stitches, or bone grafts. Their slim profile allows for much faster healing and fewer follow-up appointments than traditional implants, and this efficiency helps make them an affordable option.
Why Opt for Affordable Implant Dentures?
The reasons extend beyond stability and jawbone preservation:
- Enhanced comfort and confidence: Securely fixed dentures mean you can talk, laugh, and eat without worry. You won’t experience soreness or irritation from loose dentures, and you can eat all your favorite foods again.
- More natural look and feel: Traditional dentures’ bulky pink base looks awkward, and the large palate area prevents you from fully tasting your food. Implant dentures significantly reduce—or eliminate—this base, giving you a much better aesthetic and restoring your full tasting ability.
- Cost-effectiveness: Implant dentures will never need to be relined or adjusted and can last a lifetime if properly taken care of. This makes them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health and functionality, especially with the reduced cost of mini implants.
Types of Implant Dentures
Not all implant dentures are created equal, and they have different levels of removability and functionality:
- Snap-in dentures: Known for their ease of use, these overdentures snap onto 4-8 mini implants, offering stability and convenience. They are an excellent entry point for those seeking affordable implant dentures. In certain cases, we can turn an existing denture into a snap-in denture if the prosthetic meets the requirements.
- Semi-removable and non-removable bridges: For those desiring a more permanent solution, these roundhouse zirconia bridges provide durability and a natural appearance without the need for nightly removal.
How Much Do Affordable Dental Implants Cost?
The perceived cost is one of the most significant barriers to choosing implant dentures. However, “affordable implant dentures” isn’t just a marketing term at our practice. For starters, using mini dental implants significantly reduces the implant cost. When you come in for your free consultation, our staff will work with your insurance company to ensure you get all the benefits and reimbursements you’re entitled to. We also offer outside financing with affordable monthly payment plans to help make implant dentures affordable to all budgets.
