Britely Dentures + Implants Studio

Buzz words like “implants in a day”, “teeth in a day”, or “same day implants” are routinely mentioned and many patients seek us out for this type of treatment. This terminology is referring to a situation where tooth extraction, implant surgery, and a new set of teeth are all placed at the same time. This is what we strive to provide for all our patients, but there is an incredible amount of prep work that happens in advance of surgery to ensure you receive the best outcome. The prep work includes ordering specialized parts, pre-fabricating your new smile, and coordinating anesthesia and sedation care, and can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks from our consultation visit. Our process is more efficient and provides a more predictable result thanks to digital technology, and this has drastically cut down on the amount of time for the “prep work” phase.

Nearly everyone is a candidate for implant dentures and full mouth implants. There are an incredibly small set of medical conditions that prevent us from safely providing implant treatment, and your initial consultation includes a thorough review of your medical history to ensure we are safely offering you the best options.

Implant dentures have many components, some of which will wear with time based on how strong you chew and what types of food you eat. The more stress that is placed on the components, the faster they can wear. The implants that are within the bone are meant to last an incredibly long time, and in most cases, the rest of your life. We still recommend yearly examinations after implant dentures are made so we can check the strength of the snaps as well as the health of your dentures.

Denture implants work by taking a traditional denture and securing it to dental implants using special snap components. The implants are placed in the jawbone and when healed, provide a very strong attachment for the denture to adhere. This prevents the denture from moving while talking or chewing and gives you more confidence in your smile and mouth.

Our experience is that after completing implant dentures or full mouth implants, patients have a drastically improved quality of life, are better able to chew and enjoy food, have more confidence in their smile, and have eliminated pain from their lives. In our opinion, this makes implants absolutely worth the investment.

There are many options when it comes to single dental implants and full-mouth solutions. We will discuss the options that best fit your desires and budget and will always be up front with our fees. It is impossible to give an exact quote without seeing you in person, but many patients find the cost for implants at Britely® can be up to 40% less than other options.

The cost of dental implants can occasionally be covered by certain medical insurance plans but the amount depends on the patient's specific coverage. We will help you determine how much will be covered with your plan. Since implants and dentures is all we do, we're able to provide competitive pricing and flexible financing options to help with the cost of service.

We value your time and understand your desire to get your new smile as fast as possible, and we strive to have you in a new smile within weeks of meeting each other. With new digital processes and techniques available, our patients have a new smile on the day of implant surgery, which we typically schedule after your first visit. The healing time takes a period of 3-4 months, during which you will have a screwed in set of teeth that allow you to “test drive” your new smile before we customize the permanent set of teeth. Most patients have their customized new smile within 6 months of our first consultation visit.

Full mouth prosthetics attempt to recreate a lifelike situation in our mouths. A removable denture (either full or partial) typically allows one to regain 20-30% of their natural chewing function. A snap in denture gives back 50-60% of chewing function, and screw-in full mouth implants allows the patient to regain 90% of their natural chewing function. There are many benefits to implants over a removable denture, and the return to natural chewing function is what my patients consistently state as the reason they are most happy with their choice to undergo full mouth implant therapy.

Dentures are typically kept clean by brushing food and debris away, using special denture cleaners. Dentures are best kept out of your mouth while sleeping. Implants are kept clean in the same fashion as normal teeth. Routine brushing and flossing will keep food and plaque away. Full mouth implants will be brushed in the same fashion as normal teeth, and specialized flossing technique will help clean any remaining food away.

With a properly fitting set of dentures or implant teeth, you will be better able to chew a healthy diet, eat less processed foods, and experience and increased quality of life. Many people with unhealthy mouths suffer from mental and psychologic issues due to a lack of confidence, and dentures or implants create a vast improvement in the way you feel about yourself.

Adverse health consequences are extremely rare when using high quality implant materials. We use only high-quality components for our patients and will never cut corners.

Snap in dentures are removable and rely on the denture snapping into specialized implant components. This stabilizes the denture but still allows it to come out for cleaning and sleeping. We also offer fixed denture solutions that provide additional benefits for those who prefer a non-removable option.

It is possible for an implant to fail but we provide a complimentary exam to determine if our patients are candidates for implants before getting started with treatment. Our doctor will fully discuss any risk with you based on your health history and specific surgical situation. Our highly trained team uses state of the art processes and materials to minimize the chance of failure.

Single tooth implants use a permanent screw like base that secures to your jaw bone along with an abutment (connector), and realist crown that is customized to match your other teeth. They are the ideal solution for replacing missing or failing teeth due to their strength, longevity, and completely natural appearance and feel.

Denture implants (also known as all-on-4 implants) are a full replacement set of teeth that are secured to implant posts. Snap-in dentures are similar but are also removable. Both solutions provide patients improved chewing ability and function compared to traditional dentures.
