What Are Implant Supported Dentures?

An alternative to traditional dentures, implant supported dentures blend the convenience of full arch prosthetics with the benefits of implant technology. Implant supported dentures are a type of full arch replacement solution that relies of the stability of dental implants. Our experienced oral surgeons utilize advanced CBCT digital imaging to plan for and strategically place a series of two or more dental implants within your jaw. Your implant supported dentures attach securely to these implants, providing a strong, stable foundation for your new smile.

Are Implant Supported Dentures Right for You?

Implant supported dentures offer a long-term solution to replacing multiple or a full arch of missing teeth. You may be a candidate for implant supported dentures if you have:

  • Multiple hopeless or failing teeth
  • Multiple missing teeth
  • Ill-fitting, uncomfortable or loose dentures
  • Adequate bone support in the jaw

How Do Implant Support Dentures Compare to Removable Dentures?

Removable dentures are an aesthetically pleasing alternative to missing teeth, but don't compare functionally to dental implants. The main comparisons between dentures and those supported by dental implants are:

Implant
Supported Dentures

  • Permanent tooth replacement option
  • Strong, secure attachment
  • Solid, stable bite
  • Natural look, feel and function
  • Preserve jawbone health
  • Eat and enjoy favorite foods
  • No rocking, clicking or slipping
  • Smile, laugh and speak without worry

Traditional
Removable Dentures

  • Rest atop the gums
  • May rock, slip and click
  • Do not engage or preserve the jawbone
  • Limited biting and chewing capacity
  • May rub or irritate gum tissues
  • Often require adhesive or paste for retention
  • Typically replaced or relined every five to seven years

Collaborative Care for Your Smile

There are multiple options for replacing missing teeth. However, none offers the natural look, feel, function and lasting benefits of dental implants. Our board certified oral surgeons are proud to offer the modern solutions you need for a healthier lifestyle, and work closely with referring general dentists and other specialists to complete your care. We provide precision placement of dental implants within the jawbone. Once your implants are ready to be restored, your dentist or prosthodontist places your full arch prosthesis, completing your implant supported dentures procedure.
