Implant-Retained Dentures

Dentures on implants are dentures that are secured to dental implants, which act as artificial tooth roots. These implants provide a stable foundation for your dentures, ensuring they stay in place when you eat. Allowing you to live your life without worrying about your teeth.

You have two options:

Fixed Dentures on Implants

Permanently secured to the implants, these dentures stay in your mouth and function like natural teeth. Only a dental professional can remove them for maintenance.

Removable Dentures on Implants

Also known as snap-in dentures, these dentures attach securely to implants but can be removed for daily cleaning and care.

The number of implants required depends on your specific needs. Typically, 2-4 implants are used for removable dentures, while fixed dentures may require 4-6 implants per arch.

The process varies depending on your oral health and healing time. In some cases, temporary dentures can be placed immediately after the implants, with permanent dentures fitted after the healing period (usually 3-6 months).

Benefits of Dentures on Implants

  • Enhanced Stability: Say goodbye to slipping or shifting dentures—implants keep your dentures securely in place.
  • Improved Comfort: Implant-supported dentures reduce pressure on the gums and provide a more natural feel.
  • Better Functionality: Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling with the confidence of stable dentures.
  • Prevent Bone loss: Implants help prevent bone loss, meaning your jaw bones and face will retain their natural shape and dentures will fit better for longer.
  • Custom Fit: Each set of dentures is carefully crafted to suit your unique needs and preferences.
