A More Stable Alternative to Traditional Dentures

An implant-retained denture replaces a full arch of missing teeth and is securely supported by dental implants. Unlike a traditional removable denture, it stays firmly in place while you speak, smile, and chew.

For many patients, especially those with loose lower dentures, implant-supported dentures provide greater stability, comfort, and confidence. In many cases, just four strategically placed implants can support a full lower denture while helping preserve the jawbone and providing a more secure, natural fit.

Do You Experience Denture Instability?

  • Are your dentures uncomfortable and loose?
  • Do they slip when you laugh or talk?
  • Do you wish you could bite into an apple or enjoy a steak?

The issue isn’t with the dentures themselves, but with natural changes in your mouth over time. As we age, jawbone shrinkage can make even the best-fitted dentures difficult to keep securely in place.

Implant-Supported Denture Options for Missing Lower Teeth

1. Ball Attachment Denture

Two implants are placed in the lower jaw, and the denture snaps onto them. Provides more stability than traditional dentures, though slight movement can occur. Periodic adjustments are required.

2. Bar Attachment Denture

Four to six implants are placed, connected with a support bar. The denture clips onto the bar, offering minimal movement and easy removal for cleaning.

3. Screw-Retained Denture

Five or more implants hold a permanent denture in place. Dentures don’t touch gums, allowing easy cleaning underneath. Only removed for maintenance visits.

Implant-Supported Denture Options for Missing Upper Teeth

Similar implant-retained options are available for the upper jaw. More implants may be needed due to softer bone, and sometimes the roof of the mouth can remain uncovered for a more natural feel.
