Are You Happy And Comfortable With Your Dentures?

If Not, Implant Supported Dentures Are The Answer


Denture wearers do not like to talk about their dentures.  They have suffered all their  lives with dental problems, and now even after all the teeth are gone they still have problems.  Many are unable to chew the foods they like because they fear they will hurt their gums if they exert too much pressure on them in the process.  Others are embarrassed that their denture is loose and may cause embarrassment if it dislodges while speaking or eating.  Others rely on  denture adhesive that may help, but is very messy.

If you wear dentures and have not gone to the dentist in years, you may not be aware of the options that are available to help you feel comfortable with them.  Below is a video presentation that I use to show patients what options are available today to denture wearers to help them feel better with their dentures:


A complete denture is not the best option any longer for someone that lost all their  teeth.  Dental implants can now help the denture wearer feel comfortable and secure with their dentures.
For more information about how dental implants can help you feel better with your dentures or even get rid of removable dentures, please call our office and make an appointment to talk to Dr. Boudet.
The information you will receive may very well improve your quality of life.

Teeth In One Day Using Dental Implants in West Palm Beach Florida

Dental implants are without a doubt, the best treatment option for persons that have lost their teeth and need to wear dentures.
If I had to say what is the biggest disadvantage of dental implants it would have to be the long waiting process while the implants fuse to the bone (osseointegration) which can be from three to six months.

New advances in dental technology allow the implant dentist to determine the bone available for the placement of implants using a ct scan, and to place the implants quickly and precisely using ct guided surgery.  Using this technology, the implants can be restored the same day of the surgery, and the patient can use them right away to eat a soft diet for the first three months.  At the end of the three month period, the temporary teeth are replaced with the final prosthesis.
Some of the advantages of the immediate load technique are listed below:

  • Less Invasive than conventional implant surgery
  • Needs minimal recovery time
  • Avoids the need for bone grafting, in most cases
  • Restores the ability to eat most foods
  • Eliminates removable dentures
  • Improves self-confidence and overall quality of life
  • Cost effective when compared to 10 to 12 implants

For persons that feel  they could benefit from this type of work, but are afraid that the cost will be prohibitive, there is another alternative that is very affordable.

Mini implants are another category of implants that are immediately loaded and patients patients can reap the benefits of  mini implants to help hold a lower denture, the same day that they are placed.  Furthermore, due to the nature of the procedure, the dentist can charge a lot less for mini implants than for regular implants, usually about half the cost.

You might be concerned about the cost of the procedures and would like information about a payment plan. We can help you with that also. We can offer you short or long-term plans through Care Credit and CityBank.
