What Are Implant Dentures?

Traditional removable dentures rely on natural suction, denture adhesive, or metal clasps to stay in place. Alternatively, implant dentures are anchored directly into the jawbone with small titanium posts called dental implants. The dental implants fuse with the jawbone to effectively replace the roots of the missing teeth, providing a strong, stable foundation for the denture. Depending on your unique needs, we offer two types of implant dentures.

Fixed/Permanent Implant Dentures

Fixed or permanent implant dentures stay in place all day every day. You’ll wear them while you’re eating, sleeping, and going about your normal day! When you come visit us for your routine checkups, we’ll remove your implant denture to have it thoroughly cleaned before anchoring it back into place.

Removable Implant Dentures

Removable implant dentures are sometimes called “snap-on dentures” since they can be snapped onto and off of your dental implants at any time. This way, you’ll be able to remove them for daily at-home cleanings while still enjoying all the benefits of implant dentures.

The Implant Denture Procedure

Am I a Candidate for Implant Dentures?

If you’re missing most or all your natural teeth, there’s a very good chance that you qualify for implant dentures. To be considered a good candidate for them, you’ll need to be well enough to undergo minor oral surgery, be free of oral health issues like gum disease, and have adequate jawbone density. If you’re not initially a good candidate for implant dentures, don’t worry! Preliminary procedures like periodontal therapy or a bone graft may be able to help you become one.
