Removable Dentures - California Dental Care

HEALTHY, CONFIDENT, BEAUTIFUL SMILE

Removable Implant-Supported Dentures

Losing teeth is a serious issue that has many effects on your life. Moreover, the more teeth you lose, the worse the effects become. Tooth loss affects your abilities to eat and speak, making both incredibly difficult. When you cannot properly chew, your digestion and nutrition suffer. The quality of your smile decreases, causing your confidence to plummet.

Tooth loss also affects the health of your jawbone, leading to bone loss and a change in the shape of your jaw. The lower part of the face shrinks, which can cause the skin on your face to sag, which can then lead to wrinkles. Over the years, dentures have been the best treatment to replace missing teeth. However, dentures have several significant disadvantages that are unappealing to most. At California Dental Care, we can provide you with an alternative to traditional dentures with overdentures.

Using Implants to Support Dentures

Nowadays, we recommend dental implants as a solution for replacing missing teeth. This incredible treatment uses small titanium posts to support your replacement teeth. The posts are surgically inserted into a patient’s jawbone. During the healing process, the bone fuses to the posts in a natural process called osseointegration. This process stabilizes the posts, turning them into replacement roots that then hold your new teeth securely in place.

Implants are a very versatile treatment that can replace a single tooth or several teeth. They can also be used to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, with a restoration often referred to as overdentures or implant-supported removable dentures.

Replacing an Entire Arch of Teeth with Removable Implant-Supported Dentures

Overdentures are a treatment used to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, whether it is the upper arch or the lower arch. Before oral surgery, any unhealthy teeth that are remaining in your jaw must first be extracted. Oral surgery is done under a local anesthetic as well as sedation, which helps you to relax during your procedure. In order to expose the bone underneath, small incisions are made in your gums. Next, holes are drilled into the bone, and your posts are placed directly inside. Finally, the gums are sutured closed, and temporary teeth are placed.

Healing from your implant surgery can take up to several months to complete. During this time, we monitor your progress to make sure that your bone is fusing properly and there are no complications. When you have fully healed, we then begin the process of making your final dental restorations.

Options for Removable Implant-Supported Dentures (Overdentures)

There are a few different options for Removable Implant-Supported Dentures overdentures. These include:

Implant-supported dentures. These are the typical overdentures. This treatment uses 6 to 8 implant posts to support your arch of replacement teeth. The restoration is screwed into place on the posts.
Bar-retained dentures. This treatment uses only four implant posts, which are connected by a titanium bar, and is sometimes used when you do not have sufficient bone mass in your jaw. Your replacement teeth are made to clip into place on the bar.
All on 4. The All on 4 is a common treatment for replacing an entire arch of missing teeth suitable for patients with not enough bone mass in the jaw. Rather than undergoing a bone graft, four posts are strategically implanted into your jaw. The teeth are then screwed into place on the posts.

Benefits of Removable Implant-Supported Dentures (Overdentures)

Overdentures provide several significant benefits. These include

They look much more natural. The restorations, made from ceramic, perfectly imitate the properties of natural tooth enamel.
They help regain normal functions of the teeth, so the patient can speak and eat normally.
Incredible comfort. Since the teeth are supported by implants and not gums, there is no pressure on the gums and no uncomfortable denture sores.
Ease of care. It is easy to brush and floss dental implants, just like natural teeth.
The implant posts restore stimulation to your jawbone, stopping and preventing bone loss. Implants are the only treatment that provides this benefit, preserving the integrity of your jaw.

Removable Implant-Supported Dentures (Overdentures) provide you with an incredible, long-term solution for replacing an entire arch of missing teeth, allowing you to avoid treatment with traditional dentures.

I absolutely adore this dentistry! Everyone is so kind and friendly. They are honest and concise with their patients. They handle the new Covid procedures on top of their own exceedingly well. Their attention to detail is impeccable. They are very flexible and work with your schedule. They understand pain levels and also give advice as well on treatment for your teeth. I will continue to be a loyal customer to them. If you don't have a dentist I highly suggest this one! And if you do I still suggest this one!

The dentist Dr. Imam and staff at CA Dental are not only good at what they do, but they take their time to get the procedure right. I don’t know about you, but past dentists I have had don’t do extra x-rays to show you where exactly is the crack in your tooth or how much of the decay they drilled below the old filling they removed. This is the first time I have ever looked at the tooth after work done to it. Maybe new technology made this available in dentistry or maybe it is the attention to customer service that is the difference at CA Dental. I am definitely a happy patient with this new dentist. Happy with their competitive rates, the one stop shop select services they offer, and great bed side manner. So happy I finally switched dentists. I can’t say enough about CA Dental. They’re great.

One of the BEST dental clinic I've ever experience. First, the expertise and professional skill of the dentist, Dr.Nahreen Imam is beyond compare-2 tooth extraction in one sitting without pain whatsoever. Same positive experience goes for the front office personnel, particularly Ms. Charo. She is well versed, not only in handling the smooth functioning of the front office, but also the financial aspect. The insurance queries that patient's will always have is handled expertly and thoroughly. I highly recommend trying this dental clinic for a no pain, no worries experience. This is my experience today, April 17th year 2021. The kindess and expert care of the dental assistant Sharon is also worth mentioning and very highly commendable

I’ve been going here for years now and Dr Imam is such a joy! Everyone who works here is kind and helpful, and I always feel like I’m in good hands. I’d love to point out a couple rockstars - Lorena (hopefully I got her name spelling right) gives a killer cleaning. Efficient, thorough, talks just enough to make you feel comfortable, then focuses on her task. She really pays attention to you as the cleaning goes on. I think she’s awesome. Also have to say Dawn up front is wonderful. So sweet and kind, makes you feel at home and gets you checked in and out quickly. I definitely recommend this dental practice!

I came in here based on my friends recommendation to get invisalign treatment. I have had some crooked front teeth that really hurt my confidence since childhood. After getting treatment for 1.5 years Dr. Imam gave me a perfect smile and my confidence has never been better. I can't stop smiling now! I even sent the office a gift basket because I was so happy with their service.

Dr. Nahreen Imam and her staff are amazing!. I have never had a dentist explain to me so well about what is going on and why we need to do something about it. She did not pressure us to do anything that was not necessary which is usually the case at a lot of other places. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dentist.

Had a tooth ache that was keeping me up for multiple nights. I came in as a new patient and the team at California Dental Care discovered I had a cracked wisdom tooth. They were able to extract it within a week and I have been pain free since then.I have definitely been neglecting my teeth and going to dentist appointments my whole adult life. The team at California Dental Care, did such a good job that I routinely go now.
