Removable dentures procedure

The first step to your new teeth is an examination of your current situation by your dentist. Then, you and your dentist can determine which solution works best for you.

During your examination, you may be presented with the option to follow a conventional process or a state-of-the-art guided process to place your dental implants

The guided process uses a CT scan, or a model of your jawbone, to plan your entire dental procedure before it begins. Keyhole surgery is used to place the dental implant. This minimally invasive technique reduces the healing time traditionally experienced in the conventional process, as well as eliminates the need for stitches, a significant amount of swelling, and much of the discomfort arising when your dental implants are placed using conventional methods.

Conventional Process

Under the conventional process, your dentist will take x-rays to see how your jawbone looks. Often an impression will be taken of your current teeth and jawbone. Your may also optimize your existing denture, or in some cases fabricate a new one.

Guided Process

Under the guided process, your dentist will map your jawbone or your jaw and teeth will be scanned using computerized tomography (CT) enabling your dentist to plan your entire dental procedure before getting started. From this planning, a guide is created that will help the dentist to place the dental implants into the correctly planned positions. At the same time, a state-of-the-art Nobel Biocare laboratory will begin making your final denture, so it is ready for placement at the same time your dental implants are placed.

Conventional Process

Under the conventional process, you’ll undergo the following:

- You’ll receive local anesthesia

- Your dentist will place your dental implants

- Your dentist may place the denture to your dental implants, so you can eat during the healing process

- Otherwise, your dentist may take an impression from which your final denture will be made

Guided Process

Under the keyhole method, this is your final step of the process. You’ll undergo the following:

- You’ll receive local anesthesia

- Using the surgical guide and keyhole surgery, your dentist will place your dental implants

- Once placed, your dentist will place your (pre-prepared) final denture

- And you’re done!

Conventional Process

- After your dentist has determined that your gums have sufficiently healed, you’ll return to have your final denture fitted and placed. Your dentist will ensure that your bite is correct and you’re pleased with the results.
