Implant-supported dentures
The role of dental implants in modern dentures
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone as a secure foundation for dentures. Once stabilized, implants prevent slippage and discomfort.
-
Enhanced comfort
The denture rests on implants rather than gums, eliminating pressure sores.
-
Improved function
Feels and functions like natural teeth, making eating easier.
-
Jawbone preservation
Helps prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.
-
A lasting solution
With proper care, implant-supported dentures provide lasting reliability.
Mini implants for denture wearers
If your current dentures feel uncomfortable or unstable, mini dental implants offer a less invasive, more affordable way to stabilize them. They are a budget-friendly alternative to full-sized implants, placement is minimally invasive and often allows same-day stabilization, and you can speak and eat without worrying about loose or slipping dentures.
“I never thought I’d be able to enjoy my favorite foods again. Thanks to my implant-supported dentures, I can eat and smile without worrying about my teeth slipping!”
— Lisa R.

The short answer
Dentures are custom-made replacement teeth that restore chewing, speech and your smile when some or all of your natural teeth can no longer be saved. Options include full dentures for a whole arch, partial dentures that fill gaps between remaining teeth, immediate dentures placed right after extractions, and implant-supported dentures that attach to posts in the jawbone. A good fit depends on careful design, which is why 3D imaging and digital impressions are used, and implants or mini implants can steady a denture that slips.
Dentures FAQ
- What types of dentures do you offer?
- We offer traditional, partial and implant-supported dentures. A full, or complete, denture replaces every tooth in the upper or lower jaw, while a partial denture replaces several missing teeth and leaves your remaining natural teeth in place. Immediate dentures are made ahead of time and placed right after teeth are removed. Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants in the jawbone for extra stability.
- What is an implant-supported denture?
- An implant-supported denture is a denture that rests on dental implants, small titanium posts placed in the jawbone, instead of on the gums. Because the implants hold it in place, it prevents slippage and the pressure sores that can come from a denture rubbing on the gums. The implants also help preserve the jawbone and maintain facial structure. It is sometimes called an overdenture or snap-in denture.
- My dentures feel loose. What can I do?
- Mini dental implants are a less invasive, more affordable way to stabilize loose dentures, often allowing same-day stabilization. The slim posts give the denture something firm to hold onto, so you can eat and speak without worrying about slipping. In some cases, a reline that resurfaces the inside of the denture can also help it match the current shape of your mouth. Your dentist will look at the fit and explain which option makes sense.
- How do you get a good fit?
- We use 3D imaging and digital impressions for more accurate, comfortable fittings. The success of a denture depends on its design and precision, since a poor fit can cause discomfort, slippage and trouble chewing. Each set is designed to complement your facial structure and support clear speech. Your dentist then checks the fit and comfort with you.
- Can you do extractions and fittings in the same office?
- Yes, from extractions to denture fittings and implant placement, every service is provided in one location. That means no outside referrals and one team following your care from start to finish. It also makes it easier to plan steps like immediate dentures, which are placed right after teeth are removed. You can ask about the full sequence at your consultation.
