Implant-Supported Dentures

More comfortable and stable chewing with implant-retained dentures.

IMPLANT DENTURE

Struggling with loose dentures and eating difficulties?
Implant dentures are the solution.

The biggest problem with conventional dentures is retention. By placing 2–4 implants to anchor or clip the denture in place, you can eat and live comfortably without any looseness.

INDICATION

We recommend implant dentures in these cases

Full denture wearer

Experiencing difficulty due to looseness, pain, or speech problems with existing dentures

Failed denture adaptation

Unable to wear dentures due to severe nausea or pain when inserting them

Bone preservation needed

Rapid jawbone resorption from denture wear requiring management

Alternative to full implants

Health or cost factors make full implants difficult; goal is to stabilize the denture

COMPARISON

Conventional Denture vs Implant Denture

Conventional Denture

Can shift or fall out, making eating and speech unstable

Jawbone continues to resorb, causing the fit to change over time

Must be removed and cleaned daily — inconvenient

VS
Implant Denture

Anchored to implants for stable, slip-free use

Slows bone resorption and restores chewing function

Fewer implants needed compared to full fixed implants

TYPES

Types of Implant Dentures

The appropriate type is chosen based on bone condition and lifestyle.

Overdenture (Removable)

Overdenture

Removable

Clips onto 2–4 implants using a snap-in mechanism. Can be removed by the patient for easy cleaning. Lower cost and simpler transition for existing denture wearers.

Fixed Implant Prosthetics

Fixed Implant Prosthetics

Fixed

Fully fixed to 4–6 implants. Stays in place like natural teeth, with strong bite force and high aesthetic satisfaction. The All-on-4/6 method is most common.
