About Implant-Supported Dentures
What are implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a secure, long-lasting solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. They are anchored to dental implants rather than resting on your gums, providing greater stability and a more natural feel.
Common reasons for implant-supported dentures:
- Multiple missing teeth
- Difficulty chewing
- Loose-fitting dentures
- Bone loss in the jaw
- Desire for a more stable and natural solution

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do implant-supported dentures last?
The implants can last for decades with good care. The denture itself usually needs relining or replacement every several years as it wears.
Are they more comfortable than traditional dentures?
Most patients find them much more comfortable. Because they’re anchored to implants, they don’t slip or rub, and many designs cover less of the palate.
Am I a candidate for implant-supported dentures?
If you’re missing most or all of your teeth in an arch and are in good general health, you may be. Adequate jawbone is needed, and bone grafting can help if it isn’t.
Will my insurance cover implant-supported dentures?
Coverage for implant-supported dentures varies widely. Some plans cover part of the cost, especially for the crown, bridge or denture portion. Our team will review your benefits and explain your payment options before you begin.
