Implant-Supported Dentures & Partials

An implant-supported denture, or implant denture, is a denture that is anchored in your mouth using implants. There are typically at least four implant posts placed to secure your denture, though depending on your individual needs you may receive as many as eight implants. These implant dentures are designed to permanently replace your missing teeth so that you can once again enjoy a healthy mouth and smile.

There are many benefits to implant dentures, including:

• Improved appearance, both for your smile and your overall appearance, as implant dentures replace missing teeth and support your overall facial appearance.
• Speech improvement, as replacing missing teeth allows you to speak normally once again.
• The ability to eat more easily, and to eat whatever you want with ease.
• Improved oral health and function.
• Greater durability – implants are intended to last a lifetime. Make sure to practice good oral hygiene and keep your regular dental visits to keep your implants in good condition.
• A permanent replacement for your missing teeth, making them more convenient and easier to manage than removable dentures.

If you are missing teeth, you are a candidate for implant dentistry. Implant-supported dentures are typically recommended for patients who have lost multiple teeth, and take the place of more traditional removable dentures and partials.
