Dentures

When it comes to dentures, Portmore Dental Office excels in dentures supported by dental implants, which are called Implant Retained Dentures. These dentures are ideal for denture wearers who find that their dentures don't stay in place and cause discomfort to the gums. Implant retained dentures can also help patients who can't speak clearly or are afraid of smiling because of their dentures.

This procedure is done with what is known as the Mini-Implant System, where in about two hours, the dental implants are placed in the jawbone and attached to the denture. While there may be a little bit of discomfort soon after the procedure, the patient can leave the dental office soon after the procedure and even eat regularly. The procedure is done with minimal invasive surgery and does not involve the use of sutures or a long period of healing. It is done under local anesthesia. In fact, the one-step procedure simply places the implants and then clips the dentures onto the implants. The result gives patients the confidence to smile again because they have been able to replace their missing teeth and can confidently smile without fear of anything becoming loose or falling out of their mouth.

A unique feature that we have here at Portmore Dental Office is that we have a laboratory on site, where patients can meet the technician who is creating their implant. So patients can feel confident that their implants are being created by experienced professionals, and can also have the implants made and delivered in less time than if they have to be sent to an outside laboratory. Our team of professionals makes the entire procedure easy and painless for the patient, who only has to worry about coming in and getting the implants and dentures fitted.
