If you're looking for a more secure, comfortable alternative to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures may be the ideal solution. Also known as denture over implant, this option combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of removable or fixed dentures.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures:
-
Improved stability – No slipping or shifting while eating or speaking
-
Stronger bite force – Enjoy more food options with confidence
-
Preserves jawbone – Implants help prevent bone loss over time
-
Natural appearance – Designed to look and feel like real teeth
-
Long-term comfort – Custom fit, reduced sore spots, and less gum irritation
How It Works:
Implant-supported dentures are secured using 2 to 6 dental implants placed in the jaw. Once the implants heal and fuse with the bone, the denture is securely attached — either as a removable "snap-on" option or a fixed permanent denture.
Who’s a Candidate?
This option is ideal for patients:
-
With multiple missing teeth or complete tooth loss
-
Who want a more stable alternative to removable dentures
-
With sufficient jawbone density or those eligible for bone grafting
Full Dentures
Full dentures are used when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. These removable prosthetics are custom-made to look natural and restore your ability to speak, chew, and smile with ease. Modern full dentures are designed for a snug fit and improved comfort.
Partial (Half) Dentures
Partial dentures — sometimes called half dentures — are ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. They fill in the gaps left by missing teeth and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting. Partials are typically made of a combination of acrylic and metal for durability and aesthetic appeal.
