Implant-Supported Dentures (Coordinated with Surgical Specialists)

If you're missing most or all of your teeth and tired of traditional dentures that slip, click, or need constant adhesive, an implant-supported denture (sometimes called an overdenture) is often the answer. Instead of relying on suction against your gums, the denture snaps or clips onto two to four implants anchored in your jawbone. You get the stability of fixed teeth with the simpler surgery and lower cost of a removable prosthesis. Implant-supported denture care is a team effort. The surgical phase, where titanium implants are placed in the jawbone and given time to heal, is performed by a trusted oral surgeon or periodontist Dr. Bonin refers to in Sonoma County. The restorative phase, where a precision-fitting denture is designed, fabricated, and attached to those implants, is performed by Dr. Bonin and our prosthetics lab at Bonin Dental Care. We coordinate the entire process so you have one office quarterbacking every step. At Bonin Dental Care, we routinely work with patients throughout Windsor and Sonoma County who are done with traditional dentures and ready for something better. A typical case involves two to four implants placed in the lower jaw (upper-jaw implant dentures are also done, but lower is more common). After several months of healing with the surgical specialist, you return to our office and Dr. Bonin designs a custom denture that snaps securely onto those implants. You can remove it for cleaning, but during the day it functions with the stability of fixed teeth.
