What Is the Process for Same-Day Implant Dentures?
In this video, Remi Berube, DD, explains how same-day implant dentures work and what determines whether your existing denture can be stabilized in a single visit.
For our same-day implant dentures, the process is straightforward, especially if you already have an existing denture and want it stabilized with implants. We start by taking a CT scan to confirm that you have enough bone density for mini implants. If everything looks good, we can place a few implants and connect them to your current denture the same day, as long as the denture is suitable for conversion.
If your existing denture isn’t a good fit for implant attachment, we’ll discuss making a new denture that can properly lock onto the implants. Either way, the implant placement and denture fitting can typically be done in a single visit.
If you’d like to explore your options, the front desk can help schedule a consultation.

Insurance questions are rarely simple. Medicaid coverage can involve red tape, paperwork, phone calls, and plan details that are not always easy to sort through. A direct question like “Does Medicaid cover dentures?” should come with a direct answer. For eligible adult members in Montana, the answer is yes in many cases. Still, the details matter. Coverage can depend [...]
At some point in your denture journey, the question may come up plainly: How long are dentures supposed to hurt? New dentures can bring a period of adjustment as your mouth learns how to speak, chew, and rest with a new set of teeth. Some tenderness can be part of that process, especially in the beginning. Even so, discomfort [...]
