What Are Implant-Retained Dentures?
Understanding the Basics
Implant-retained dentures are a stable, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. This option is often recommended when most or all natural teeth have been lost due to gum disease, decay, or trauma.
Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, implant-retained dentures are anchored by 4 to 6 dental implants placed in the jaw. These biocompatible implants integrate with the bone to create a strong foundation. Once healed, the denture securely attaches to the implants, restoring function, stability, and overall oral health.
Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?
The Unique Benefits
Implant-supported dentures offer major advantages over traditional dentures. Because they’re securely anchored to dental implants, they won’t slip or shift while you eat, speak, or smile. This stability improves comfort, function, and confidence in everyday life.
These dentures also support long-term oral health. Dental implants help stimulate the jaw bone, preventing the bone loss that often follows tooth loss. This preserves facial structure and keeps your mouth healthier over time.
At The Burkitt Center, we use biocompatible materials and a whole-body approach to ensure your implant-supported dentures support both your smile and your overall well-being.
How Do Implant-Supported Dentures Work?
An Overview of the Process
If you're getting implant-supported dentures, the first step is removing any remaining teeth. After your mouth heals, Dr. Will will take detailed digital scans and create a custom plan for placing 4 to 6 biocompatible dental implants in the upper, lower, or both arches.
A temporary overdenture will be attached to the implants while they heal, a process that typically takes 3 to 6 months. Once healing is complete and the implants have integrated with your bone and tissue, we’ll create your final, custom-fit denture with help from a trusted dental lab.
At your final visit, we’ll check the fit, place your permanent denture, and go over how to care for your new smile. With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last for many years.
