Schedule your consultation today and take the first step toward a better-fitting, more natural smile.
How Implant-Supported Dentures Improve Stability & Comfort
Traditional dentures sit on the gums, which often leads to shifting, rubbing, or even embarrassing slips. Implant-supported dentures attach directly to dental implants placed in the jaw, which helps them feel more secure and natural. That extra security brings everyday comfort.
- Secure foundation: Implants hold your denture in place without the need for pastes or adhesives
- Improved daily function: Eat, speak, and smile freely without worrying about slippage
- Reduced discomfort: Minimizes gum irritation that often comes with loose-fitting dentures
- Natural feel: Closely replicates the function and feel of natural teeth for a more lifelike experience
The Difference Between Traditional & Implant-Supported Dentures
Traditional dentures rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place, which means they can loosen over time. Implant-supported dentures are anchored into the jawbone using dental implants, so they stay stable even when you talk or chew. The difference is clear in both comfort and confidence.
- Traditional dentures rely on adhesives: May slip or shift throughout the day, especially when eating
- Can lead to bone loss over time: Lack of stimulation from tooth roots allows jawbone to shrink
- Implant-supported dentures stay in place: Securely attach to implants for consistent, worry-free wear
- Help maintain jawbone health: Implants stimulate bone tissue to support long-term facial structure
Who Is A Good Candidate For Implant-Supported Dentures?
Many patients who are missing most or all of their teeth make great candidates for this treatment. If you have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support implants, you’re likely eligible. We’ll confirm everything during your consultation.
- Healthy oral tissues: Gums must be free of infection and inflammation to support healing
- Adequate bone structure: Sufficient bone is needed to anchor implants safely and effectively
- Long-term goals: Ideal for those seeking a permanent, low-maintenance alternative to removable dentures
- Positive lifestyle habits: Good hygiene and non-smoking habits increase long-term success
The Process Of Getting Implant-Supported Dentures
The first step is a complete evaluation where we plan your care based on your smile goals. After dental implants are placed, your mouth needs time to heal and for the implants to integrate with your jaw. Once ready, your custom denture is secured in place.
- Initial evaluation: We assess your oral health and map out a personalized treatment plan
- Implant surgery: Implants are placed with precision to ensure stability and comfort
- Healing phase: Bone and implant fuse together in a process called osseointegration
- Denture attachment: Your custom denture is fitted to the implants for a natural look and feel
How To Care For Your Implant-Supported Dentures
Caring for implant-supported dentures is easier than most patients expect. Regular brushing, cleaning around the implants, and dental checkups keep everything in good shape. A simple routine can protect your smile for years.
- Brush daily: Clean your denture and gums gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Clean around implants: Use interdental brushes or water flossers to reach under the denture
- Routine checkups: Let us monitor your implants and oral health during regular visits
- Protect your investment: Avoid smoking and clenching, which can affect implant longevity
