Implant Supported Dentures are a revolutionary dental implant treatment designed to replace an entire arch of teeth using just a few strategically placed implants. This advanced procedure offers patients a permanent, functional, and aesthetic solution to missing teeth, providing a full set of teeth in as little as one day.
At Norton Shores Family Dentistry, we use the latest techniques and technology to perform Implant Supported Dentures, ensuring precise placement and optimal results. Our experienced, board-certified oral surgeons ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience with a focus on long-term success. Implant Supported Dentures are an ideal choice for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and want a permanent solution that looks and functions like natural teeth.
Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures:
• Full arch restoration in a single appointment
• Permanent, natural-looking results
• No need for individual implants for each tooth
• Faster recovery time compared to traditional methods
• Improved confidence, appearance, and oral function
The procedure can often be completed in a single day, allowing you to leave our office with a full set of functional teeth.
With proper care, Implant Supported Dentures can last a lifetime.
The dental implant process can take several months from start to finish. This includes the initial consultation, implant placement, osseointegration (the process where the implant fuses with the jawbone), and placement of the final prosthetic tooth. Each case varies depending on individual healing times and treatment needs.
While dental implants are generally safe, some potential risks include infection, implant failure, nerve damage, or sinus issues. These risks are minimal and can be managed by qualified oral surgeons like Blane M. Bowen, DDS & Thomas M. Smith, DDS at Norton Shores Family Dentistry.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants needed, the complexity of the case, and other factors like bone grafting or sinus lifts. Our team will provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss financing options during your consultation.
Dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. Proper care and oral hygiene can help maintain the longevity and effectiveness of the implants.
A typical root canal treatment begins with a thorough diagnosis using digital imaging to assess the affected tooth and determine the extent of the damage. To ensure a pain-free experience, local anesthesia is administered before the procedure. The infected or damaged pulp is then carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned and shaped to prepare for sealing. Once cleaned, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. Finally, a temporary filling is placed, and in most cases, a permanent crown is recommended to protect and restore the tooth’s full function.
Our skilled implant dentists in Norton Shores perform the surgery with precision and a focus on comfort. The implants are strategically placed in the jawbone to promote successful integration and healing, using advanced techniques to minimize discomfort.
After the healing phase, custom prosthetic teeth are attached to the implants. These prosthetics are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. We provide comprehensive post-treatment care instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress.

"Like a lot of people I don't go to the doctor unless I'm sick, so for the dentist I wasn't doing regular visits and low and behold ended up with cavities. Dr. Tom was super nice and professional, no one in the office made me feel bad about my teeth, they just immediately moved on to the treatment steps. Got my cavities filled and all the jaw pain I had for months was gone by the time the numbing wore off. Super grateful for Dr. Tom and his wonderful staff. Also liked how modern their office was, I didn't realize how old school my old dentist was until I came here - the up to date technology made a big difference."
