If you have struggled with traditional dentures that slip, click, or require messy adhesives, implant-supported dentures offer a stable, high-tier alternative that can transform your quality of life.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture—a restoration that covers and rests on dental implants rather than sitting directly on the gums. While a regular denture relies solely on suction and the bony ridge of your gums for support, an implant-supported version is anchored firmly to the jawbone.
This solution is typically used when a person is missing all of their teeth in the jaw but has enough healthy bone to support dental implants. These dentures feature special attachments that snap onto connectors on the implants. Depending on your specific goals and lifestyle, these dentures can be designed as either removable (for easy cleaning) or fixed (which stay in the mouth permanently).
The Benefits Of Implant-Supported Solutions
At DeSoto Smile Studio, we move beyond transactional care to provide a concierge-style experience focused on your long-term comfort. Choosing an implant-anchored restoration offers several life-changing benefits:
- No slipping or clicking: Because the denture is anchored to titanium posts, it stays securely in place while you talk, laugh, and smile.
- No need for adhesives: You can eliminate the cost and inconvenience of messy denture glues and pastes.
- Enhanced chewing power: Unlike traditional dentures, which can reduce biting force by up to 80%, implant-supported dentures allow you to enjoy a wider variety of healthy, crunchy foods.
- No palate on upper dentures: Often, the “roof” or palate of an upper denture can be removed with this technology. This significantly improves your ability to taste food and makes speaking feel more natural.
- Minimal discomfort: By eliminating the friction between the denture base and the gums, we can prevent the painful sore spots often caused by traditional appliances.
A Precision-Driven Patient Experience
We understand that the transition to dentures is a significant journey. Our goal is to create a calm, welcoming environment where you feel heard and respected. Dr. Alex Shafiey utilizes advanced clinical expertise and modern technology to plan your implant placement with surgical precision. This ensures the most stable foundation for your new teeth.
We wish more patients understood that dental implants do more than just hold teeth in place; they help preserve your jawbone and prevent the “sunken” facial appearance that occurs over time with tooth loss. Our promise is to provide honest guidance and high-quality results that look natural and feel right.
Determining If You
Are A Candidate
To find out if you are a candidate for implant-supported dentures, we will conduct a thorough evaluation of your bone density and overall systemic health. Even if you have been told in the past that you lack the bone for implants, modern techniques like bone grafting may make this life-changing restoration possible for you.
