No one deserves to struggle with multiple missing teeth. Transform your smile with a set of sturdy implant-retained dentures today.
If you’re suffering from extensive tooth loss and decay, there are many options to save your smile. Implant-retained dentures are one of the most durable, natural-looking, and sturdy options available today. Dental implants help anchor the dentures in place, preventing them from slipping or causing discomfort. Plus, they can help preserve your jaw bone, which reinforces your natural face shape and prevents premature aging. You can still remove your implant-retained denture for easy cleaning and maintenance. With proper care, implant-retained dentures can last for many years, making them a great long-term solution for tooth replacement.

Implant-retained dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, unlike conventional dentures that rest directly on the gums. This advanced system provides remarkable stability without slipping during eating or speaking. Traditional adhesives become unnecessary, as the secure connection to implants holds the denture firmly in place.
One of the most significant long-term benefits is the preservation of the jawbone, which typically deteriorates after tooth loss. Patients experience substantially improved chewing efficiency and bite strength, allowing for a more varied diet. Implant-retained dentures represent a middle ground between removable dentures and fixed implant restorations, offering improved function while remaining more affordable than some other options.
A few advantages of implant-retained dentures include the following:
Implant-retained dentures eliminate painful pressure points on gums and prevent embarrassing slippage during social interactions, restoring confidence in daily activities.
Speaking clearly becomes effortless with secure dentures. Dietary options expand significantly as patients regain the ability to eat foods that were once challenging with traditional dentures.
Implants stimulate bone tissue much like natural tooth roots, preventing the facial collapse that typically occurs with bone loss and maintaining a more youthful appearance.
The treatment journey begins with a comprehensive examination, including 3D imaging to evaluate your oral structures. During a surgical procedure, dental implants are precisely positioned in the jawbone. A healing period of several months allows for osseointegration—the fusion of implants with your natural bone.
Once healing is complete, small connectors are attached to the implants. We then create your custom denture designed to attach securely to these connectors. At the final fitting, your completed denture is attached and adjusted for optimal comfort and function.
Most patients require approximately 3-6 months from start to finish, with much of this time devoted to the healing phase. During your consultation, we’ll provide a specific timeline based on your individual situation.
