Implant-retained dentures are anchored firmly in place with dental implants, offering a permanent solution that blends seamlessly with your lifestyle. At our practice, we’re dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care, ensuring that your journey to a new smile is smooth, comfortable, and life-changing.
Why Choose Implant-Retained Dentures?
Experience Unmatched Stability and Functionality: Implant-retained dentures provide a level of stability that traditional dentures simply can’t match. With dental implants acting as secure anchors in your jawbone, your dentures won’t slip or move, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
Preserve Your Jawbone and Facial Structure: Traditional dentures can lead to bone loss over time, as they don’t stimulate the jawbone like natural teeth do. Implant-retained dentures help preserve your jawbone, maintaining your facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with bone loss.
Long-Lasting and Cost-Effective Solution: While the initial investment may be higher, implant-retained dentures are a durable, long-term solution. With proper care, they can last for many years, reducing the need for frequent replacements or adjustments associated with traditional dentures.
Natural Look and Feel: Custom-designed to match your natural teeth, implant-retained dentures offer a beautiful, natural appearance that enhances your smile. Plus, they feel just like your own teeth, giving you a level of comfort that traditional dentures can’t provide.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment
- Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we assess your oral health, jawbone density, and discuss your goals. This evaluation helps us determine if you’re a good candidate for implant-retained dentures and allows us to create a personalized treatment plan.
Step 2: Implant Placement
- The next step is the surgical placement of the dental implants into your jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort. After the implants are placed, a healing period of several months is required for the implants to fully integrate with the bone, providing a strong foundation for your dentures.
Step 3: Denture Fitting
- Once your implants have successfully integrated with your jawbone, custom dentures are created and attached to the implants. These dentures are designed to fit comfortably and securely, giving you a natural look and feel.
Step 4: Follow-Up and Maintenance
- After your dentures are in place, we’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure everything is functioning perfectly. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential to maintaining your implant-retained dentures and enjoying their benefits for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are implant-retained dentures?
Implant-retained dentures are a type of denture that is securely anchored to dental implants placed in your jawbone. This ensures a stable fit, preventing the dentures from slipping or shifting, and offering a more natural feel and function.
How are they different from traditional dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and may require adhesives, implant-retained dentures are attached to implants in the jawbone, providing superior stability, comfort, and functionality. They also help preserve jawbone health, preventing bone loss.
Who is a good candidate for implant-retained dentures?
Most people missing several teeth or an entire arch can benefit from implant-retained dentures. However, sufficient jawbone density is needed to support the implants. A thorough evaluation by our team will determine your suitability for this treatment.
How long does the process take?
The entire process, including implant placement, healing, and denture fitting, usually takes several months. While this timeline allows for proper integration of the implants, the final result—a secure, comfortable, and confident smile—is well worth the wait.
Will the procedure hurt?
The implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, so you should experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Any post-operative pain is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How do I take care of my implant-retained dentures?
Implant-retained dentures require the same care as natural teeth—regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. It’s also important to clean around the attachment points to prevent plaque buildup and ensure the longevity of your implants.
How long do implant-retained dentures last?
With proper care, implant-retained dentures can last many years, often decades. The dental implants themselves are designed to be a permanent solution, while the dentures may need adjustments or replacements over time.
What are the costs involved?
The cost of implant-retained dentures varies depending on the number of implants needed and the complexity of the case. Although the initial cost is higher than traditional dentures, the long-term benefits, including durability, improved function, and comfort, make them a wise investment. We offer financing options to make this life-changing treatment accessible to everyone.
