Implant-Supported Dentures in Santa Clarita
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.
What to expect from implant-supported dentures with us
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.

Implant-Supported Dentures FAQ
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.
