What Is an Implant Denture?
Regular dentures consist of prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base, and these are usually held in place using small metal clasps or natural suction and denture adhesive. As the jawbone and gum tissue naturally shrink over time, these devices lose their fit and can become untrustworthy. Implant dentures were invented to fix this for a lifetime.
With implant dentures, the teeth are anchored directly into the jawbone using multiple dental implants. This gives them a structure and strength much similar to natural teeth, which makes them more stable and long-lasting. At Smile Creations, we can either take a patient’s traditional denture and modify it to work with implants, or he can create a completely new customized prosthetic.
The Advantages of Implant Dentures
Why are implant dentures better than regular ones? They provide a multitude of unique benefits:
- Better Hold: Traditional dentures are notorious for slipping and sliding around in the mouth, but this isn’t an issue with implant dentures because they are held firmly in place by multiple titanium tooth roots. Because of this, patients don’t have to worry about their denture moving, clicking, or popping unexpectedly.
- Long Lasting: A normal denture will begin to lose its fit after just a year or two because it does nothing to stop the recession of the gum and bone tissue supporting it. On the other hand, dental implants support the jawbone from within to keep it healthy and full, meaning implant dentures can maintain their day-one fit for years at a time.
- Stronger Bite: Many denture patients are forced to limit their diet because their prosthetic only restores about 20% of their bite strength. However, implant dentures have been shown to bring back at least 70%! This means a person will be able to enjoy a wider variety of foods with ease, leading to a better-tasting and healthier diet overall.
- Increased Comfort: Implant dentures are often smaller than regular ones because they don’t require a large base for stability. This helps them fit more seamlessly in the mouth and cut down on the coughing and gagging sensations many denture patients endure.

Implant Dentures FAQs
How Many Dental Implants Are Necessary to Support a Full Denture?
Exactly how many dental implants you will need depends on your circumstances. Some patients require as few as four implants to support an entire arch of artificial teeth. Other patients receive six or more implants throughout an arch. During the planning stages of your procedure, your team of doctors will carefully consider your bone structure and overall health when they are determining how many dental implants you will need.
How Can I Care for My Implant Denture?
If you have a removable implant denture, you’ll need to take it out of your mouth every night and thoroughly clean it with a mild solution. You should also carefully brush your implant abutments - the small connector pieces that protrude above the gumline - and rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash. On the other hand, if your prosthetic is permanently attached to your implants, you may be able to brush and floss like normal.
If I Get All of My Teeth Replaced, Will I Still Need to Visit the Dentist for Checkups?
Yes, even patients who have no natural teeth left still need to attend regular dental checkups. At these appointments, our team will make sure your prosthetic is still performing at its best. We’ll also thoroughly clean your implant abutments and check for any signs of gum disease or other oral health issues.
How Much Does an Implant Denture Cost?
The cost of your denture will depend on several factors, including:
- How many dental implants you need
- Whether you get a new denture, or we retrofit your existing denture
- The extent of any preparatory treatment that is necessary before your dental implant surgery
During your consultation, our team will provide you with a cost estimate for your treatment and help you explore payment options.
Am I a Candidate for an Implant Denture?
Most patients who have lost all or most of their teeth are candidates for an implant denture. You should be in fair oral and overall health, have adequate bone in your jaw to support dental implants and be committed to maintaining a thorough oral hygiene routine. If you are not currently a candidate for dental implants, we may be able to work with you so that you can become a candidate in the future.
