Implant Supported Dentures in Salt Lake City

all-on-4 permanent dentures in Sugar House and Murray, UTIf you have missing teeth in your smile, you may wonder what your options are to get a complete, attractive and functioning smile again. In the past, there was one option: dentures—the kind that used adhesive to adhere to your gums. These are definitely better than dealing with missing teeth, but they come with problems of their own.

At The Sugar House Dentist in Utah, we’re proud to offer a better, long-lasting tooth restoration.

Permanent Dentures In Sugar House

There is a newer, revolutionary option we offer in our Sugar House clinic in Salt Lake City. It’s one we think you will love: implant-supported dentures.

Implant-supported dentures are a type of denture that uses strategically placed dental implants to stay in place. After we place your implants at our Salt Lake City area practice, we can use them to secure your dentures and give your denture set a more permanent feel.

Permanent dentures can be removable, if you want that option—but even with that feature they will never slip or click out of place on their own. You will be able to wear your dentures to public events without ever worrying about losing your teeth when you need to eat or speak.

With implant-supported permanent dentures, you can enjoy a more natural and comfortable feel. Better yet, you’ll never have to bother with sticky or messy denture adhesive!


What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Dental implants are used to replace gaps in your smile. Implants are titanium tooth root replacements that are made of small metal rods that fuse to your jawbone. A custom dental crown is placed on top of these dental implants to restore the full tooth.

These dental implants, when combined with the dental crowns, are very durable and may last your whole life. Crowns, dentures, or a dental bridge are secured to these dental implants, and that makes them very stable.

Tooth Restoration Options in Sugar House

There are two different kinds of apparatus that can be used to restore a gap in your teeth: dentures or a dental bridge.

Dentures: These are used if you need to replace multiple teeth in a row or if all of your teeth are missing. The dental implants are placed in certain areas in your smile and the dentures are then secured to the dental crowns.

Dental Bridge: The other apparatus is a dental bridge. This is usually used if only one or a few teeth are missing in a row. These, too, are secured on each side to the dental crowns, and they are very stable.


Implant Dentures & Dental Bridges

A dental bridge uses a series of porcelain crowns to fill in the gap left by a missing tooth. Using dental implants, we can create a fixed bridge that will restore your smile and help secure your full set of beautiful teeth. Our bridges are completely natural looking! We design them with a patient’s comfort in mind.
