Implant-Retained Dentures: Secure, Comfortable, and Life-Changing

If you’re missing all or most of your teeth, implant-retained dentures offer a modern, secure, and more natural-feeling alternative to traditional removable dentures. They combine the stability of dental implants with the convenience of a denture giving you back the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without worry.

What Are Implant-Retained Dentures?

Implant-retained dentures are dentures that securely snap onto dental implants placed in the jawbone, offering a stable and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures. Because they are anchored to implants rather than resting on the gums, they provide significantly improved stability, chewing function, and overall comfort. They also help preserve jawbone structure, preventing the bone loss often seen with long-term denture wear.

The Treatment Process

  • Consultation and digital imaging

    • 2–6 implants per arch

Types of Implant Dentures

Implant dentures come in two main types: removable overdentures that snap on and off implants for easy cleaning, typically supported by two to four implants per arch, and fixed hybrid options like All-on-4 or All-on-6 that are permanently secured and only removable by a dentist. Removable overdentures offer convenience and improved stability, while fixed implant dentures provide maximum strength, function, and a natural feel similar to real teeth. Both options give patients enhanced confidence and comfort compared to traditional dentures.

more questions?

Do implant-retained dentures feel natural?

Yes. Because they are securely supported by implants, they feel much more like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently without worrying about slipping or movement.

How long does the implant-retained denture process take?

The full process typically takes several months due to the healing and integration period. However, many patients receive a temporary denture during healing, and some may qualify for same-day teeth.

Can implant-retained dentures be removed?

Some implant-retained dentures are removable overdentures that snap on and off for cleaning, while others are fixed options like All-on-4 or All-on-6 that are permanently secured and only removable by a dentist.

How many implants are needed for implant-retained dentures?

Most implant-retained dentures require two to six implants per arch, depending on the type of denture and your bone structure. Dr. Timin will determine the ideal number during your consultation.

How are implant-retained dentures different from traditional dentures?

Implant-retained dentures are anchored to dental implants instead of resting on the gums. This provides significantly better stability, comfort, and chewing ability compared to traditional removable dentures.
