Implant-Supported Dentures Near You
Traditional dentures that can be removed from the mouth typically rest upon your gums. Due to the nature of soft gums, many patients experience complications when wearing them, such as the dentures slipping, or completely coming loose. When you’ve committed to daily wear, it’s important that whatever you have in your mouth day in and day out can be reliable and comfortable for you.
What is Implant-Supported Dentures?
This is where implant-supported dentures play a role. Unlike regular dentures, these are anchored securely within your mouth with the use of dental implants, which are mentioned in the previous section. This means you can say goodbye to messy or irritating adhesives or having your dentures slip or come loose at inopportune times, and say hello to a better quality of life.
Having implant-supported dentures means you can chew, drink, and speak comfortably without having to worry about their stability. These often assign our patients a higher level of confidence, knowing they can go about their favourite activities without a second thought.

FAQ
How are implant-supported dentures different from regular dentures?
Implant-supported dentures connect to implants placed in your jaw. They stay steady while eating or talking, so they do not slip the way regular removable dentures often do.
How many implants are needed for implant-supported dentures?
Most people need two to four implants for proper support. Our dentist checks your jawbone, gum health, and bite to decide the right number for your mouth.
Are implant-supported dentures permanent?
The implants in your jaw stay in place long-term. The denture attaches to them but can be taken off by the dentist when cleaning or repairs are needed.
Who is a good candidate for implant-supported dentures?
You may be a good fit if you have healthy gums, enough jawbone, and want better chewing strength. People unhappy with loose dentures often choose this option.
How long do implant-supported dentures last?
Implants can last many years with brushing, flossing, and regular checkups. The denture part may wear out over time, but the implants usually stay strong for decades.
Is the procedure painful?
Dentists numb the area so you stay comfortable during treatment. Some soreness afterward is normal, but most patients feel better quickly with rest and simple pain medicine.
