Implant-Supported Dentures close to home in Newhall
Newhall holds the valley's oldest streets, from Main Street to the blocks around Hart Park and the Pioneer Oil Refinery, a California Historical Landmark. Older homes often come with older dental work, and when bridges or worn teeth reach the end of their life, you deserve a frank comparison of dentures, new bridges and implants.
Newhall is where the valley's town life began, named for Henry Mayo Newhall after he bought Rancho San Francisco in 1875. Main Street's Walk of Western Stars has honored Western film and TV figures since 1981, and William S. Hart Park keeps the cowboy star's 1920s mansion and a herd of bison. Our office is a short, simple drive north for anyone in Newhall replacing missing teeth.
From Old Town Newhall, head north on Railroad Avenue for about 2.5 miles, continue onto Bouquet Canyon Road, then turn east on Soledad Canyon Road. The office is about 0.4 miles past Bouquet Canyon on the north side.

The practice's own implants page is plain about the limit of a regular denture: it replaces the teeth but not the roots, so the jaw bone underneath can keep shrinking and the fit can change. Anchoring the denture to a small number of implants answers both problems. The implants sit in the bone the way roots do, and the denture fastens to them, so it is far less likely to slide when you chew.
The implants page also lays out the steps: a post set where a root used to be, local anesthesia for most single and multiple tooth replacements, and about two to four months for the bone to fuse before the final teeth go on. Failing teeth can be removed first in the same office, and periodontist Dr. Dennis R. Hunt is on the team when bone or gums need work before implants.
Whether you are a candidate depends on how much bone is left, your health and your budget, and an exam with X-rays answers that. You will hear how this compares with a conventional denture or individual implants, cost included, before anything starts, and no one will push you toward the larger plan.

A conventional denture rests on the gums and relies on fit. An implant-supported denture attaches to implants in the jaw, so it moves much less, and the implants help keep the bone from shrinking.
