What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a restoration that offers enhanced stability, comfort, and function for your smile when you're missing most or all your teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which rely solely on the gums for support, implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone to become a permanent replacement for missing tooth roots. The dentures are typically made of a pink acrylic base for the gums and ceramic or porcelain materials for the teeth.

Am I a Good Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?

When you visit our office with an interest in implant-supported dentures, we will perform a thorough assessment to determine the current state of your oral health. This exam includes using a CBCT scanner to take detailed images. Because dental implants are placed in your jawbone, it's important to have a strong, dense jawbone with sufficient room for implant placement and good overall oral health.

If you don't meet these requirements, rest assured our team also offers pre-treatments to help you become a better candidate for dental implants. Some of the preliminary treatments we offer include:

Extractions: Often, if you only have 1-2 teeth left, it's worth extracting those remaining teeth to replace them with an implant-supported full denture.
Bone Grafts: If you have a weakened jawbone, it cannot support dental implants. Our bone graft procedures can increase bone density to improve the stability of your implant posts.
Sinus Lifts: When you have insufficient space in your upper jaw, a sinus lift can help increase the space available for dental implants.

What to Expect From Our Denture Process

Once we have decided that implant-supported dentures are right for you, we will use the images collected during your consultation and assessment to determine exactly where your dental implant posts must go. Our team will also take detailed impressions of your smile to help craft your final restoration. We will also perform any necessary pre-treatments, such as extractions, bone grafts, or sinus lifts, in preparation for your implant surgery.

Our board-certified dental implant surgeon will place your dental implants using computer-guided surgery. This advanced surgical guide increases efficiency and precision by displaying the right amount of force and exact placement required.

During the healing period, which can take up to six months, we schedule regular appointments to ensure your healing is going as planned and begin fabricating your custom dentures. Once the process of osseointegration, in which your implant posts fuse with your jawbone, is complete, we start fitting your final restoration.

Our Implant-Supported Denture Offerings

We understand that every patient has unique requirements. Our team dedicates itself to providing personalized services and will work closely with you to determine which implant-supported denture option is right for your situation. You can trust that regardless of what solution you choose, we will work to craft a natural-looking restoration that is stable and comfortable. Some of our implant offerings include:

2 Implants: You can have removable dentures anchored onto these two implant posts for a stable restoration that helps prevent bone loss. Patients typically have some dietary restrictions but are generally able to eat more than those with traditional dentures.
2-4 Implants: Your removable dentures are anchored onto 2-4 implant posts that are strategically placed for stability and bone retention. These dentures are less likely to slip or cause discomfort, meaning you can comfortably enjoy many foods.
4-6 Implants: Permanent dentures are anchored with 4-6 implants and are most like your natural smile. This means that you can care for them like your natural teeth and enjoy almost any food.
