What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a revolutionary alternative to traditional dentures. Instead of relying on adhesives or suction, these dentures are securely anchored to dental implants. The implants, small titanium posts placed into the jawbone, act as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with the bone, they provide a stable foundation for dentures.

There are two types:

Bar-retained: A thin metal bar attaches to the implant abutments, and the denture snaps onto the bar.
Ball-retained: Each abutment has a ball-shaped connector, and the denture has a corresponding socket that snaps onto the ball.

Benefits of Implant Dentures

Replacing your missing teeth with implant-supported dentures provides multiple benefits, including:

Improved stability and security: Because dental implants are anchored to the jawbone, the dentures don’t rely on the gums for support, making them more stable and secure than traditional dentures. This means that people who wear them can speak and smile with confidence, knowing that their dentures won’t slip and slide around.
Preservation of the jawbone: When natural teeth are lost, the jawbone shrinks, which can cause the face to appear sunken and aged. However, with the help of an implant-supported denture, you can preserve the jawbone’s integrity.
Improved quality of life: An implant-supported denture can help improve the quality of life for patients who have lost their natural teeth. They can restore the ability to eat a wide range of foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently, which can greatly improve self-esteem and well-being.
Long-lasting: Implant-supported dentures can last for many years, sometimes even a lifetime, with the right dental care and maintenance.
Natural-looking: These dentures look like natural teeth.
Easy maintenance: They’re easy to maintain and clean, just like natural teeth.

The Implant-Retained Dentures Process

Since dental implants support dentures, patients will undergo oral surgery. The entire process can take anywhere between three and nine months to complete. Patients will experience the following:

Initial Appointment: You’ll schedule your first appointment so our downtown Seattle dentist can evaluate your oral health, discuss your dental history, and determine if implant dentures are the best solution for your needs.
Dental Implant Surgery: We’ll make a small incision into your gums and place the implant posts. Once all the needed posts are placed, they’ll close your incision with sutures and you’ll be sent home to begin the healing process.
Healing: Over three to six months, the posts will naturally fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This is necessary to provide a stable foundation for your denture restoration.
Placing Your Dentures: Once you have fully healed, you’ll return to our Seattle dental office. Dr. Johnson will attach your custom dentures to the implants, providing you with a new, beautiful smile.

Are You a Candidate for Fixed Implant-Supported Dentures?

Frequently Asked Questions

Implant-supported dentures can last for many years, sometimes even a lifetime, with proper care and maintenance. You can increase the longevity of your restoration as long as you follow a rigorous at-home oral hygiene routine and visit your dentist twice a year for checkups.

Unlike conventional dentures, implant-supported dentures are permanently anchored to the jawbone and aren’t removable. Only a qualified dentist can remove the restoration. Please don’t remove the restoration yourself, as this can cause serious damage.

The number of implants needed varies depending on the individual case. Typically, four to six implants are used to support a full arch of dentures, while two to four implants may support a partial denture.

“Thank you so much for all your great service and making me feel comfortable, best of all, thank you for giving me back my smile!”

— Barbara, Seattle

“I would highly recommend the SUAD Device for any patient suffering from mild to moderate sleep apnea, like me. After struggling to adjust to a CPAP machine—unsuccessfully, I have found that this device has helped me immensely. I sleep through the night without snoring and generally wake up feeling rested… Unlike the CPAP, which I’d always want to take off after a couple of sleepless hours, or my normal mouth guard for teeth grinding, which I also couldn’t stand after five to six hours, the SUAD device is not uncomfortable… surprisingly. Two thumbs up for the SUAD Device!”

— Michelle, Seattle
