Fairborn Locator Dentures

Are you tired of the daily struggle with traditional dentures? The constant worry about them slipping while you talk, the discomfort, the messy adhesives, and the restricted diet can take a significant toll on your quality of life. For many in the Dayton area, what was supposed to be a solution for missing teeth has become a source of frustration. But what if there was a way to secure your smile, restore your confidence, and eat your favorite foods again without worry?

At Rae Implant Dentistry, we offer a modern, stable solution: Locator Dentures, a transformative approach to tooth replacement that combines the affordability of a denture with the security of dental implants.

It's time to stop letting your dentures dictate your life. We believe in making advanced dental care accessible and stress-free, providing a path to a more comfortable and confident you.

What Are Fairborn Locator Dentures and How Do They Work?

Locator dentures, often called implant-supported or implant-retained dentures, represent a significant leap forward from conventional dentures. This innovative system provides a stable foundation for your smile by anchoring your custom-made denture to a small number of dental implants surgically placed in your jawbone. Think of it as giving your denture a set of powerful roots, just like natural teeth.

‍The process is straightforward and handled entirely in-house by our compassionate team at Rae Implant Dentistry to ensure continuity of care.

1. Consultation: It all begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your oral health, and determine if you are a good candidate for implant-supported dentures.
‍
2. Implant Placement: Dr. Rae will strategically place a few dental implants—typically two to four per arch—into your jawbone. These small titanium posts are designed to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating an incredibly strong base. For patients concerned about discomfort, our specialization in sedation dentistry, including IV sedation, ensures a stress-free and comfortable experience.
‍
3. Healing & Integration: Over the next few months, the implants will fully integrate with your jawbone. This healing period is crucial for creating the lasting stability that makes this treatment so effective.
‍
4. Denture Attachment: Once healed, we attach special connectors, or "locators," to the implants. Your custom-crafted denture is then made with corresponding attachments on the underside, allowing it to snap securely into place.

A common question we hear is, "What if I don't have enough bone for implants?" This is a valid concern, especially for long-term denture wearers. At Rae Implant Dentistry, we offer advanced solutions like bone grafting to rebuild the jaw's foundation, making this life-changing treatment a possibility for more people than ever before.

The Life-Changing Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Choosing locator dentures is more than just a dental decision; it’s an investment in your overall well-being and confidence. The benefits go far beyond simply replacing teeth; they restore your quality of life.

‍One of the most significant advantages is the dramatic improvement in stability and function. Say goodbye to the fear of your dentures slipping or clicking when you laugh, speak, or eat. With your denture firmly anchored, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods, including crunchy apples, steak, and corn on the cob, which improves your nutrition and overall health. This stability eliminates the need for messy, unreliable adhesives and significantly reduces the gum irritation and sores often caused by conventional dentures.

Furthermore, dental implants provide a crucial health benefit that no other tooth replacement option can: they preserve your jawbone. When you lose teeth, the underlying jawbone begins to shrink due to a lack of stimulation. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, dental implants are the only dental restoration option that preserves and stimulates natural bone. This helps maintain your facial structure and prevent the sunken, aged look that can occur over time with traditional dentures.

At Rae Implant Dentistry, we understand that dental anxiety is a real barrier for many. Our commitment to compassionate, non-judgmental care and our expertise in sedation dentistry ensures that your journey to a better smile is a positive one. We are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of clinical excellence while fostering an environment where you feel supported and heard.
