Dental Implants in Redmond, OR
Premier Denture Clinic
in Redmond, OR offers advanced solutions for tooth loss through dental implants and implant-supported dentures. These restorative options provide a durable, stable alternative to traditional removable dentures by anchoring prosthetic teeth directly into the jawbone. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or a full arch, implants offer natural aesthetics and long-term function.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically embedded into the jawbone to act as artificial roots for replacement teeth. Over time, these posts integrate with the bone—a process called osseointegration—creating a permanent foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Each implant functions like the root of a natural tooth, providing exceptional stability and preventing the bone loss that often occurs after extractions. Once healed, implants can support individual restorations or serve as anchors for more extensive prosthetics such as implant-supported dentures.
At Premier Denture Clinic, we partner with local oral surgeons and periodontists to coordinate your implant placement, ensuring each step—from planning to final fit—is seamless and patient-centered.
Implant-Supported Dentures for Full-Arch Solutions
For patients who are missing all upper or lower teeth, implant-supported dentures offer the stability of fixed prosthetics with the full-arch coverage of traditional dentures. Unlike removable dentures, which rely on suction or adhesive, these dentures attach securely to implants placed in the jaw.
Depending on your needs, we may recommend either fixed implant dentures or overdentures, which snap onto implants but can be removed for cleaning. Both solutions provide improved chewing power, speech clarity, and facial support compared to standard dentures.
We carefully evaluate your bone density, gum health, and bite alignment before recommending a specific type of implant denture. Whether you choose a full fixed bridge or a removable overdenture, we ensure that your new smile looks and feels natural.
The Treatment Timeline and What to Expect
Getting dental implants involves several steps, beginning with a consultation and imaging to assess bone structure. If you're a good candidate, implants are placed surgically into the jawbone, usually under local anesthesia.
Healing and osseointegration can take several months. During this period, we may provide temporary dentures to help you maintain appearance and function. Once healed, abutments are added to the implants, followed by custom prosthetic teeth designed for a precise, aesthetic fit.
At Premier Denture Clinic, we design and fit the final denture or crown restoration. Each component is customized to ensure comfort, functionality, and natural beauty. We collaborate closely with your oral surgeon to ensure continuity of care throughout the entire treatment.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Ideal candidates for dental implants include those in good general and oral health with adequate jawbone density. However, even patients who have worn dentures for years may still qualify after a bone graft or sinus lift procedure.
We perform thorough evaluations during your initial appointment at our Redmond clinic. We assess your oral condition, medical history, and lifestyle to determine if implants are right for you. Even if traditional implants aren’t a fit, we may offer alternative solutions like mini implants or implant-retained overdentures.
Our team is committed to helping you explore your options without pressure, providing honest assessments and customized recommendations based on your long-term health goals.
Long-Term Advantages of Implant Solutions
Unlike removable dentures that can slip, cause sore spots, or require adhesives, implant-supported prosthetics provide a secure and stable bite. They help preserve jawbone volume, which supports facial structure and reduces premature aging often associated with tooth loss.
Dental implants also reduce or eliminate dietary restrictions. With a stable foundation, you can chew comfortably and enjoy a wider variety of foods. They’re easy to maintain with daily brushing, and because they mimic the function of natural teeth, they integrate into your lifestyle with minimal adjustment.
At Premier Denture Clinic, our goal is to offer lasting dental solutions that improve your quality of life. Whether you need a single tooth replaced or are ready for a full arch restoration, implant-supported dentures deliver comfort, function, and confidence.
