How The Treatment Works

The SDA Process

Consultation & Digital Treatment Planning

(45-60 minutes)

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation using digital scans and 3D CBCT imaging to evaluate bone structure, gum health, and denture suitability. We carefully plan implant placement to maximize support, stability, and comfort while tailoring the final result to your facial aesthetics and bite. Treatment is planned using Cone Beam CT 3D imaging, ensuring optimal implant positioning and long-term stability of your denture restoration.

Implant Placement Procedure

(1-2 hours)

A small number of dental implants are strategically placed into the jawbone using minimally invasive techniques under local anesthesia. We use the Straumann Implant System, renowned for its precision engineering and exceptional long-term success. Temporary dentures may be adjusted or provided during the healing phase where appropriate.

Healing & Implant Integration

(2-6 months+)

Over time, the implants naturally fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration, creating a stable anchor for your denture. This process strengthens support while helping reduce the bone loss commonly associated with traditional dentures.

Custom Denture Fitting & Final Adjustments

(30-60 minutes)

Once healing is complete, your custom denture is connected securely to the implants using precision attachments. Final adjustments are made to optimize comfort, bite alignment, aesthetics, and ease of use – resulting in a stable, confident smile.

Many of our surgical treatments can be performed under moderate conscious sedation to maximize comfort and reduce treatment anxiety. Sedation is administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, allowing patients to feel relaxed throughout more complex procedures.
