The Implant Denture Process Near Hollins
Step 1: Consultation and Imaging
Dr. Felo reviews your health, current denture, and digital imaging of your jaw to plan implant positions.
Step 2: Implant Placement
Implants are placed under local anesthesia. Any remaining teeth that need to be removed may be extracted at the same visit.
Step 3: Healing
Over a few months, the implants bond with the jawbone. You wear your denture, adjusted for comfort, or a temporary during this time.
Step 4: Attachment and Fitting
Attachments are placed on the implants, and fittings are added to your new or existing denture so it snaps into place.
Step 5: Follow-Up
Adjustment visits fine-tune the fit, and you learn how to insert, remove, and clean your denture.
How Long Does the Implant Denture Process Take?
Most cases take several months from implant placement to final fitting, largely for healing. For Hollins patients, we group appointments where possible to reduce trips.
Attachment Maintenance Over Time
The fittings inside your denture are designed to wear and be replaced, which keeps the snap firm. Expect periodic replacements as part of normal maintenance.
Preparing for Your Implant Visit
- Share your full medication list, including blood thinners
- Arrange a ride if you plan to use sedation
- Have soft foods ready for the first few days
- Bring your current denture so it can be adjusted
After placement, mild swelling and soreness are common for a few days. Follow the care instructions you receive and keep your healing check appointments so any concerns are caught early.
