A denture that attaches to dental implants instead of resting only on the gums. It brings together two things this office already does: placing implants and fitting dentures.
Implant-Supported Dentures close to home in Saugus
Saugus stretches from the older streets near Railroad Avenue up into the Bouquet, Seco, Haskell and Plum canyon neighborhoods. The office has been part of Saugus since 1979, long enough to see patients through from their first fillings to the day they ask about replacing teeth.
Saugus is home base. Henry Mayo Newhall named it after his Massachusetts birthplace, the Saugus Cafe opened on Railroad Avenue in 1886, and Central Park on Bouquet Canyon Road is the largest park in the city. The office sits on Soledad Canyon Road, a few hundred yards east of where the Saugus Speedway once stood, so a denture fitting or follow-up is a short errand from anywhere in Saugus.
Head south on Bouquet Canyon Road. At Soledad Canyon Road, turn left (east) and continue about 0.4 miles; the office is on the north side. The Santa Clarita Metrolink station is about 0.7 miles further east on the same road.

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.
Yes. X-rays show how much is there. If a site is thin, a bone graft may be an option, and Dr. Hunt's training is in gum and bone care.
Implants usually need about two to four months to fuse with the bone before the final teeth are attached. Extractions or grafts beforehand add time, and your plan will spell out each step.
