Implant-supported dentures offer a life-changing solution for patients struggling with loose, uncomfortable, or ill-fitting traditional dentures. At Stone Surgical Arts, we specialize in advanced implant dentistry that restores stability, function, and confidence—allowing you to eat, speak, and smile without fear of dentures shifting or slipping. This modern approach combines the affordability of dentures with the strength and reliability of dental implants for long-lasting results.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are prosthetic teeth that are securely anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and rely on adhesives, implant-supported dentures are stabilized by implants, providing significantly improved retention and comfort.

Depending on your needs, these dentures may be removable (snap-on) or fixed (non-removable), both of which offer superior performance compared to conventional dentures. This solution is ideal for patients missing multiple teeth or an entire arch who want a more secure, natural-feeling alternative.

How Implant-Supported Dentures Work

The process begins with the strategic placement of dental implants into the jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots, integrating with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom denture is attached to the implants using specialized connectors or bars.

Most implant-supported dentures require 2 to 6 implants per arch, depending on bone quality, anatomy, and the type of denture being used. This approach distributes bite forces evenly, reducing pressure on the gums and preventing bone loss.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures provide numerous advantages over traditional dentures, including:

  • Exceptional Stability – No slipping, rocking, or clicking while eating or speaking
  • Improved Chewing Ability – Enjoy a wider range of foods with confidence
  • Enhanced Comfort – Eliminates gum irritation caused by loose dentures
  • Natural Appearance – Designed to closely resemble natural teeth and facial contours
  • Bone Preservation – Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent bone deterioration
  • Long-Term Durability – With proper care, implants can last for decades

Patients often report a dramatic improvement in quality of life after transitioning to implant-supported dentures.

Removable vs. Fixed Implant-Supported Dentures

At Stone Surgical Arts, we tailor every treatment plan to your goals and lifestyle.

Removable implant-supported dentures snap securely onto implants and can be taken out for cleaning. They offer excellent stability while remaining cost-effective and easy to maintain.

Fixed implant-supported dentures, sometimes referred to as hybrid dentures, are permanently attached and can only be removed by a dental professional. These provide the closest experience to natural teeth in terms of function and feel.

During your consultation, our team will help determine which option best suits your oral health, budget, and preferences.

Who Is a Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?

You may be an excellent candidate if you:

  • Are missing most or all teeth in one or both arches
  • Struggle with loose or uncomfortable traditional dentures
  • Have adequate jawbone or are a candidate for bone grafting
  • Are in good general health
  • Desire a long-term, stable tooth replacement solution

Even patients who have been told they lack sufficient bone may still qualify thanks to modern surgical techniques and advanced implant systems.
