What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a modern, long-lasting alternative to traditional removable dentures. Instead of relying on suction or adhesives, these dentures are securely attached to dental implants, small titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone by a specialist. Once healed, we restore the implants with a custom denture that locks into place for maximum comfort and stability.

At DentalPolitan, we do not surgically place implants in-house, but we partner closely with local oral surgeons and periodontists. After the implants are placed and integrated with the jawbone, Dr. Kumar designs and fits the custom prosthetic to complete your smile.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-retained dentures offer numerous advantages over traditional removable dentures:

  • Unmatched Stability: No slipping, movement, or adhesive required.
  • Improved Comfort: A secure, custom fit reduces irritation and pressure points.
  • Better Function: Enjoy improved chewing and speech with fewer dietary limitations.
  • Aesthetic Excellence: Custom-made to look natural and fit harmoniously with your facial features.
  • Bone Preservation: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone and help prevent bone loss.
  • Longevity: With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last 10–15 years, while the implants themselves may last a lifetime.

Who Is a Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?

You may be a candidate for implant-supported dentures if you:

  • Have lost most or all of your teeth in one or both arches
  • Are looking for an alternative to removable dentures
  • Have sufficient jawbone density (or are willing to undergo bone grafting)
  • Are in good general and oral health
  • Want a long-term solution that improves your appearance, function, and comfort

During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and coordinate with a trusted implant specialist if needed. Once your implants are placed and healed, DentalPolitan will complete your care with custom restorations tailored to your bite and smile goals.

Types of Implant-Supported Dentures

There are two primary types of implant-supported dentures:

These are secured in place and cannot be removed by the patient. They are designed for maximum stability and function and are cleaned like natural teeth.

These snap onto implant abutments and can be removed for daily cleaning. This option offers improved stability while still allowing for easy maintenance.

We will guide you through both options during your consultation and recommend the best solution based on your lifestyle, anatomy, and goals.

Caring for Implant-Supported Dentures

To maintain the longevity of your restoration and the health of your implants, follow these care tips:

Brush and clean your dentures and gums daily with a soft-bristled brush

Use implant-safe flossing tools or water flossers to clean around the abutments

For removable dentures, clean them gently with non-abrasive cleansers

Avoid biting on very hard foods (e.g., ice, hard candy)

Schedule routine checkups to monitor implant and gum health

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant-Supported Dentures

With proper oral hygiene and routine dental care, the denture portion can last 10–15 years or longer. The underlying dental implants may last a lifetime with consistent maintenance.

Yes and no. Removable overdentures can be taken out for cleaning, while fixed dentures are permanently attached and removed only by a dentist. We offer both options based on your preference and clinical needs.

Implant placement is performed by a specialist under anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. Once the implants have healed, the restoration process at DentalPolitan is non-surgical and painless, involving digital scans and precision fittings.

Implant dentures should fit securely. If you experience discomfort or shifting, we recommend scheduling a visit. Minor adjustments or relining can typically resolve the issue.

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and can shift during speech or eating. Implant-supported dentures are anchored to the jawbone for added stability, better chewing efficiency, and jawbone preservation.

Some dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for implant-related procedures. Our team can help verify your benefits and offer interest-free financing options if needed.
