Implant Supported Dentures

Dentures that are anchored with dental implants can be either fixed or removable.

Implant secured dentures are comfortable to wear and offer patients beautiful, natural-looking teeth. The number of implants needed to secure your denture will depend on the size and the number of missing teeth. Dr. Fraser will thoroughly review your treatment plan with you and provide information about what to expect during the procedure and after.

These secured dentures provide a smaller and more comfortable base for the denture and less shifting during use. Dental implants can also alleviate the sunken look caused by bone loss in the jaw by stimulating bone growth in the area around the implant to prevent additional bone loss. For qualifying patients, Dr. Fraser may be able to complete the removal of all teeth and the placement of a temporary arch on the same day.

Implant Retained Dentures

An implant retained denture requires placing four to six dental implants as “anchors” to provide a sturdier fit and minimal mobility for your denture. Easy to care for, this solution can simulate the look and feel of natural teeth and stay fixed in place with the implants acting as anchors. With retained implants, patients will not experience the typical rocking and movement or gum irritation traditionally associated with dentures.

Implant Supported Dentures

Available for full or partial dentures, implant supported dentures require the placement of two or more dental implants to secure the dentures in the mouth. No adhesives or pastes are needed to secure your new denture, so you can eat and speak comfortably and confidently. With implant supported dentures, no plate covers the roof of the mouth, so speaking and eating are more natural and comfortable than with traditional dentures. If a removable denture is selected, the denture will “snap” onto the implant and can be removed for cleaning at night.
