Implant-Supported Dentures

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Dentist Poquoson

Implant-supported dentures are dentures that are stabilized by dental implants placed into the jawbone. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums and may require adhesives, these dentures snap onto or attach to implants, creating a secure fit that feels natural and reliable.

We often recommend implant-supported dentures for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth but still want a removable or fixed solution that feels stable. Because the implants provide stimulation to the jawbone, they also prevent bone loss, maintaining facial structure and oral health over time. Each set is custom-made to match your facial features and smile goals, ensuring your results look natural and feel comfortable. With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last for many years, improving both your quality of life and your confidence.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Dentist Poquoson

Enhanced Stability

Implants anchor dentures securely, preventing them from slipping or shifting while you eat, speak, or smile.

Improved Comfort

Because dentures are supported by implants rather than just resting on the gums, they reduce sore spots and irritation.

Better Oral Health

Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and helping preserve your natural facial structure long-term.

Because of sleep apnea, I needed to explore options to help me sleep better. Dr. Harper introduced me to several different options. Together we decided that a mouth appliance was worth trying. I’ve had the appliance for over a year. I’ve been extremely happy with the results. I am now sleeping better and feeling more rested in the morning. The appliance fits right in my mouth, no hoses or masks. Thank you!.
