Frequently Asked Questions
If you have a question that isn’t answered here, view our FAQ page to read more.
-
Q: How many implants will I need?
A minimum of 4 implants are needed for an upper denture, while a lower denture requires at least 2 implants. Increased implant numbers enhance denture stability, with 3 or 4 implants generally providing better support for lower dentures than 2.
-
Q: Can food get under my implant dentures(s)?
Yes, any prosthetic in the mouth will get some amount of food under it. The great thing about implant dentures is how easy they are to clean. Just take them out; clean the denture(s), your gums, and implants; and snap them back in.
-
Q: Will there be pain after the procedure?
Individual experiences will vary, and while you should expect some discomfort and swelling after your procedure, many patients come in for their post-op appointment reporting very little discomfort. You’ll be prescribed pain medication to help alleviate any soreness.
-
Q: Am I too young for implant dentures?
No, this is not just a procedure for the elderly. In fact, it’s quite common for people in their 40s, 30s, even 20s to need to replace their teeth, and doing so can be hugely beneficial to your overall health. Having teeth that allow you to confidently smile, laugh, and converse can also greatly enhance your emotional wellness at any age.
-
Q: Are implant dentures really secure?
Yes! They are much more secure than dentures alone, and we are able to customize the retention strength with modified inserts if you prefer.
