Implant-Supported Dentures
A denture secured by dental implants for superior retention, comfort, and chewing ability compared to traditional dentures.
What is it
A denture stabilized by dental implants placed in the jaw, which prevents slipping and shifting and provides significantly stronger biting force than conventional removable dentures.
How it works
Implants are surgically placed and integrated into the jawbone, then a custom denture with built-in attachment points is connected to the implants, locking it firmly in place for improved stability.
How it helps
Dramatically improves comfort, stability, and chewing ability compared to traditional dentures, while also stimulating the jawbone to prevent further bone loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Current denture wearers frustrated by slipping or discomfort, or patients facing full tooth loss who want superior stability without committing to a fixed implant bridge.
What is the typical experience?
Implants are placed and the denture is connected once healing is complete. The improvement in stability and bite strength over a conventional denture is immediately apparent at the delivery appointment.
How long does it usually take?
Implant placement takes place first, followed by a healing period of several months. The denture is connected once integration is confirmed, with the entire process typically spanning six months to a year.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
Implant-supported dentures require daily cleaning of both the denture and the implant attachments to prevent infection around the implant sites. Regular check-in appointments allow the dentist to monitor the health of the gum tissue and implant connections over time.
What should I know about recovery after?
Recovery after implant placement is similar to a minor tooth extraction — soreness and swelling for a few days, managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication. Soft foods are recommended while the implants integrate over the following months.
