Implant-Supported Dentures close to home in Valencia
Valencia's paseos were designed so people could walk most of the community without crossing a street at grade, and its first villages date from the late 1960s. Teeth that have been through decades of fillings and crowns often need a plan for what comes next, and that is the conversation we have here.
Valencia grew village by village from Gruen Associates' 1965 master plan for the Newhall Land and Farming Company, and the first tract homes of 1967 and 1968 sold for about $25,000. For anyone in those early villages weighing dentures or implants, the office is close: Valencia Boulevard runs past Valencia Town Center and City Hall and becomes Soledad Canyon Road at Bouquet Canyon Road.
Take Valencia Boulevard east past Valencia Town Center and City Hall. At Bouquet Canyon Road, Valencia Boulevard becomes Soledad Canyon Road, and our office is about 0.4 miles further east on the north side. From the McBean Parkway side, take McBean to Valencia Boulevard and turn east.
22770 Soledad Canyon Rd., Santa ClaritaHow implant-supported dentures works here
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.
