What are the benefits of implant-supported dentures?

Patients tend to be happy that they chose implant-supported dentures for the following reasons:

Improved stability and comfort
Enhanced chewing ability and speech
Preservation of jawbone structure
Natural look and feel
Increased confidence

Who is a candidate for implant-supported dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a great option for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth and want a more stable alternative to traditional dentures. Good candidates generally have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support dental implants. If bone loss has occurred, a bone graft may be recommended before treatment. Patients should also be in overall good health and free from conditions that interfere with healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or smoking. A personalized consultation will help determine if implants are right for you.

How do I care for my implant-supported dentures?

Caring for implant-supported dentures is similar to caring for natural teeth. You should brush your dentures and gums daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove plaque and food particles. Flossing around the implants or using special cleaning tools like interdental brushes or water flossers is also important. Regular dental checkups allow us to monitor the health of your implants and ensure everything stays secure. With proper care, your implant-supported dentures will remain clean, comfortable, and long-lasting.

How long do implant-supported dentures last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implant-supported dentures can last many years. The implants themselves are designed to be permanent and can often last a lifetime if properly cared for. The denture portion, however, may need to be replaced or adjusted over time due to natural wear or changes in your mouth. Most patients enjoy stable, functional implant-supported dentures for 10–15 years or longer before needing major updates, making them a reliable long-term solution for missing teeth.
