Implant-Retained Dentures: The Secure Solution for Complete Tooth Loss

Living with complete tooth loss can affect far more than just your smile. It can impact your diet, self-confidence, and quality of life. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a secure and lasting solution that brings back comfort and stability: implant-retained dentures. 

At Bauer Dental Co., Dr. Christopher Bauer combines personalized care with advanced technology to help patients regain a natural-looking and fully functional smile through these state-of-the-art restorations.

What Are Implant-Retained Dentures?

Unlike traditional dentures that sit on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives, implant-retained dentures are anchored by dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. 

These implants act like artificial tooth roots, creating a strong and immovable foundation for your denture. As a result, patients enjoy improved biting performance, a more natural feel, and better long-term oral health. A few key benefits include:

• Enhanced stability with no slipping or clicking
• Preservation of jawbone density and facial structure
• Increased comfort and confidence while eating and speaking
• Easy maintenance with removable or fixed options

How the Process Works at Bauer Dental Co.

At Bauer Dental Co., we make the process of getting implant-retained dentures as comfortable and streamlined as possible. Dr. Bauer begins with a thorough consultation at our office to determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you. 

From there, we use leading-edge tools like CBCT 3D x-rays for precise planning and diagnosis. The treatment steps for full-mouth restoration with implant-retained dentures typically include:

• Initial digital scan and exam to assess bone health and treatment needs
• Surgical placement of implants using 3D-guided precision
• Custom fabrication of dentures in our in-house lab using 3D printing
• Attachment of dentures to implants for a secure and natural fit
