What are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant supported appliances rely on two or more implant posts for a stable, lasting smile. These posts integrate with your jaw for a strong, stable foundation. A highly cosmetic denture appliance is attached to the implants for a natural look, feel and function. Same-day options are also available, for the ultimate in convenience. Imagine going from extractions to brand new teeth in a single visit!

What are the benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures?

Many times, people choose Implant-Supported Dentures – or Overdentures – over conventional dentures because implants offer a conservative way to add retention, stability, and comfort to the patient without teeth. Instead of sliding freely around the gum area, the denture remains snugly in place in the mouth because it is anchored to the implants. 

Implant-Supported Dentures can also provide you with a more youthful appearance, supporting the structure of the face and stopping the process of bone loss. Further, they are more stable and feel like natural teeth. Plus, there is no gum tissue irritation due to dentures slipping. With Implant-Supported Dentures, all slippage is eliminated.

Perhaps best of all, you will no longer need to use messy creams or adhesives to secure your denture in place. And you'll be able to clean your Implant-Supported Dentures just like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing.

Who is a good candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?

Patients who have previously used dentures but are otherwise in good health are excellent candidates for Implant-Supported Dentures. In fact, many of our patients who have been told they have too much bone loss to have traditional dental implants are ecstatic to hear that they are perfect candidates for Implant-Supported Dentures because there's no need for bone grafts or other bone enhancement procedures.
