Implant-Supported Dentures Durham, NC

If you are missing multiple teeth and looking for a stable, long-term solution, implant-supported dentures may be the right choice for you. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and may shift or become loose, implant-supported dentures are secured with dental implants for improved stability and function. This option can restore your ability to eat, speak and smile with confidence.

How Implant-Supported Dentures Work

Implant-supported dentures rely on strategically placed dental implants to anchor the denture securely in place. The process involves:

  • Implant Placement: Dental implants, which are small titanium posts, are surgically inserted into the jawbone. These implants serve as artificial tooth roots.
  • Healing and Integration: Over a period of a few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This ensures a strong and stable foundation for the denture.
  • Denture Attachment: Once healing is complete, a custom-made denture is attached to the implants. Depending on your needs, the denture may be removable or fixed in place.

Our dentists will examine your mouth to determine how many implants should be placed. While this number can vary depending on individual cases, most patients need four to six implants per arch for optimal support.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Many patients choose implant-supported dentures because they offer advantages over traditional dentures, including:

  • Greater stability, preventing dentures from slipping or shifting
  • Improved ability to chew a variety of foods
  • Enhanced comfort with a secure fit
  • Reduced bone loss by stimulating the jawbone
  • A more natural appearance and feel
