Implant-Supported Dentures
Missing teeth is more than just an inconvenience. Missing teeth can inhibit the comfort and quality of your daily life.

Don't let missing teeth compromise the quality of your life! Patients need excellent periodontal care before receiving dentures, and Dr. Derrick Pylant and Dr. George Pylant in Bedford provide this specialized care to the greater Mid-Cities, Grapevine, Colleyville, and Southlake areas. You can begin smiling, chewing, and speaking with renewed confidence. Stop waiting and start living comfortably again!
Preparing for Implant-Supported Dentures
The gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. If you are in need of tooth replacement options, most likely your gums are in need of restorative treatment as well. In fact, the primary cause of tooth loss among adults is periodontal disease.
For a restorative dentist to craft custom dentures that achieve both the fit and appearance you desire, the foundation must be restored to health as well.
At Pylant Periodontics, we understand that every patient is unique - your mouth, your health history and your oral health goals. As a result, we believe that every set of dentures must be custom crafted to match the dimensions of your unique smile. Are you missing all of your teeth? Do you have some healthy teeth in place or just a few teeth that need to be extracted and replaced? Whatever your unique situation, our periodontists and dental implant specialists begin by taking appropriate measures to achieve a healthy foundation before your restorative dentist begins preparing your dentures. This may include periodontal treatment, gum grafting, or other treatments.
Once the team at Pylant Periodontics has confirmed a healthy-state-of-mouth, your restorative dentist can begin crafting your custom dentures.
About Implant-Supported Dentures
While traditional dentures may provide a comfortable fit, they can shift out of place when speaking or eating. On the other hand, implant-supported dentures eliminate this problem by connecting to ultra-durable prosthetic tooth roots.
Implant-supported dentures attach to three to five dental implants, which are small titanium posts surgically implanted in the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures can be removed for cleaning but will stay securely in place during daily activities. With implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy foods like apples and steak, and speak with pronounced clarity and confidence.
Meanwhile, dental implants can actually help you retain bone mass in your jaw. In the absence of tooth roots, the jaw bone will begin to slowly atrophy (lose bone mass). Because dental implants actually halt this process, implants are an outstanding investment in the health of your smile. Both Dr. Derrick Pylant and Dr. George Pylant provide expert, precise dental implant placement to restore full functionality to your smile.
Benefits of Implant- Supported Dentures
Traditional dentures or implant-supported dentures both offer a wide array of benefits. Below are just a few of the benefits you will experience:
-
Restored Confidence: Missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious about smiling. Dentures restore a healthy, natural-looking appearance so you can smile with confidence.
-
Improved Dental Function: Missing teeth make daily activities like eating and speaking difficult. Dentures help to restore your ability to carry out these essential functions.
-
Improved Aesthetics: Modern dental restorations are stronger and more natural-looking than ever before. Once our periodontists and dental implant specialists have prepared a healthy foundation for your new smile, your restorative dentist can provide you with a custom set of dentures that will stand up to chewing and look completely natural to everyone around you.
-
Improved Overall Health: The ability to bite and chew is an essential part of consuming a balanced diet.
