If you need replacement for your missing teeth, contact our office to visit Dr. Jeffrey Kopman and Dr. Harold Kopman and learn more about dentures supported by dental implants in Northport, NY. Denture implants can improve the quality of your life by: • Providing a more secure fit than denture adhesives • Relieving the discomfort of dentures resting upon the gums • Instilling confidence in your ability to speak or eat without slipping dentures • Preserving bone health by stimulation of the jaw bone with implant posts
Implant supported dentures are a cross between dentures and dental implants. Denture implants offer the affordability of dentures with the stability and bone preservation properties of dental implants. For cost conscious denture wearers who are embarrassed by the slipping and clicking of dentures and frustrated by the restricted diets, denture implants are an excellent option for tooth replacement. Dr. Kopman performs two types of denture implants, both of which require the placement of dental implants. Generally, three or more implants will be strategically positioned in the jaw bone to properly anchor your dentures and distribute the force of your bite.
With the ball retained method, Dr. Kopman will secure metal balls to the top of each individual post. Your dentures will then be retrofitted with sockets, corresponding to the location of the metal balls. The dentures can then be lined up and snapped in, delivering a snug fit.
Drs. Kopman & Kopman are periodontists who proudly serve the Melville, Huntington, Dix Hills, Plainville, and Commack, NY areas, as well as surrounding areas.
