Implant Supported Dentures are a type of denture that is anchored in the mouth by dental implants, and they can be placed in either the upper or lower jaw. In this type of denture, the Implant Supported Denture snaps into place on the implants that are surgically placed in the jaw. This anchoring mechanism prevents the denture from slipping or coming loose in the mouth, providing a secure fit and stability. Additionally, it eliminates the need for denture paste or adhesives, and can be easily removed at night for cleaning.

Implant-Supported Dentures are a great option to restore an entire arch of missing teeth. While most adults with generally good health are great candidates for these assisted dentures, the decision will be made following a consultation where our low income dentists can assess the state of your oral health.

Snap the dentures onto the implants
Implant-supported dentures are a removable treatment option where the dentures snap in and out of the implants. These dentures are removed each night.
Losing a tooth causes the underlying bone to deteriorate because it’s no longer stimulated by regular biting and chewing. This can result in changes to your appearance and a weaker jaw. Thanks to implant assisted dentures, your dental implants will continue to stimulate your jaw bone, preserving its strength and preventing any changes in your facial structure.
With proper care, these dentures can last for 10 years or more, making them extremely durable and reliable. The dentures require maintenance and hygiene appointments to increase the lifespan of the dentures.
Implant-Supported Dentures can be a life changing surgery as you regain the ability to eat certain foods you no longer could eat while smiling with a new found confidence. Implant-Supported Dentures are usually more comfortable because they are anchored to your jaw instead of a denture resting on your gums.
Compared to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures have unique benefits that make them the best choice for most patients with extensive tooth loss. First and foremost, they have a much more stable fit. Unlike traditional implants that are held in place by friction, implant-supported dentures are anchored to a set of 4-6 dental implants. These implants extend all the way down into your jaw bone, providing an extremely tight and secure fit. Your teeth will never move or shift while you bite or chew, so it’s easier for you to eat all of your favorite foods.
Implant-supported dentures are better for your oral health than traditional dentures. The dental implants that attach to your dentures are permanently anchored to your jaw bone. The bone material is then stimulated which will prevent “bone resorption.” This is a common problem in patients with traditional dentures, and bone resorption can negatively affect the structure of your face over time.
Some other benefits include:
•easier to care for implant-supported dentures
• typically last much longer than traditional dentures
• better investment for long-term tooth restoration.
