What Are Implant-Retained Dentures?
Dental implants are placed into the jawbone to securely support full-arch restorations using implant-retained dentures. This option is ideal for those who experience denture slippage or discomfort from gum pressure sores. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-retained dentures transfer the force of your bite through the jawbone rather than the gums, making them much more comfortable and natural-feeling. They also help maintain your facial structure and prevent bone loss over time. For added flexibility, you can choose between snap-on (removable) or fixed (permanent) dentures. Best of all, there are no food restrictions with implant-retained dentures—you can enjoy your meals with confidence.
The Technique
Two steps are necessary for this technique. The dental implants are first placed in your jaw during the initial treatment, and we then wait for them to heal and fuse with the bone. We will next attach abutments to the dental implants to establish the anchor for your denture after a healing period, often lasting 8 to 12 weeks. A permanently fixed denture or a detachable denture that snaps on are your options. Once they are finished, you should take care of your dentures just like you would your natural teeth.
Who Qualifies for Implant-Retained Dentures?
The ideal candidate for implant-retained dentures has good oral health and enough bone density in the jaw to support dental implants. Being a non-smoker is strongly recommended, as smoking can interfere with healing and increase the risk of implant failure. Some medical conditions may affect your suitability for treatment, but we’ll carefully assess this during your initial consultation and discuss all available options with you.

The Treatment Journey
Although every patient’s journey is different, here is what you can anticipate when you begin treatment at the Light Lane Dental Practice.
Schedule Your Appointment
To determine if you are a suitable candidate for implant-retained dentures, we need to arrange a consultation to learn more about you. This will be your opportunity to learn more about the treatment plan and find out about finance options.
Treatment Begins
If you’re a candidate for treatment, we’ll take digital scans to plan the implant placement and create your custom dentures. Once the implants are placed, they’ll need time to heal and integrate with the jawbone. After healing, your final snap-on or fixed dentures will be securely fitted.
Smile With Confidence
Once the treatment is completed, you’ll be able to smile, speak and chew with confidence again. We’ll give you full aftercare advice to help you care for your implant-retained dentures at home.
