Implant-Supported Dentures

You can lose your teeth for a variety of reasons. You might knock out a tooth while playing sports. Or you may require several teeth pulled due to dental disease.

Restore Your Smile
Whether you only need a few teeth replaced or many, our understanding dentists have the equipment and skills to restore your smile.

How It Works

Dental implants are small titanium posts that serve the same purpose as the roots of natural teeth: They anchor replacement teeth to your jawbone. Like natural tooth roots, they lie beneath the gum line and are therefore not visible in the mouth. Because titanium has the unique ability to fuse to living bone, your dental implants actually become a part of your jawbone and help to preserve its volume and density — an important consideration for your health and appearance (Learn More). When a denture is secured by implants, it does not press down on your bone tissue in a destructive way, and it will remain in position as you eat, speak and smile. This has a very positive impact on quality of life.

It usually takes only two implants to support a lower denture, though every individual is unique and we will have to examine you to determine what would work best in your case. Retaining an upper denture requires a greater number of implants, usually a minimum of four, because of anatomical differences between the upper and lower jaws. If you already wear a denture, we may be able to modify it to become an implant-supported denture. Or we will have a new one made for you.

Types of Dentures

Partial Dentures
If you still have a few teeth in great condition, our dentists will work with what you have to create stunning partial dentures. We’ll match your replacement teeth to your remaining teeth, so the color, shape, and size all look as natural as possible. And, we’ll use your remaining teeth as an anchor to hold your removable partial dentures in place and to prevent your surrounding teeth from shifting.

Complete Dentures
If you’ve lost all your teeth, we’ll do everything we can to recreate your beautiful smile. With complete dentures, we’ll create custom teeth that look and function like normal teeth. We’ll position your replacements so they sit where your old teeth used to be, effectively minimizing your adjustment time. However, you may need multiple appointments to ensure a seamless fit with your mouth and gums.
