Overview

Implant-supported dentures combine the affordability of dentures with the stability of dental implants. Dr. Amini places 2-6 implants in the jaw to securely anchor a custom denture, eliminating the slipping, clicking, and discomfort associated with traditional removable dentures while significantly improving chewing function and confidence.

Who This Is For

  • Patients who currently wear traditional dentures and struggle with fit or stability
  • Individuals considering dentures who want a more secure solution
  • Those with sufficient bone for at least 2 implants per arch
  • Patients seeking an upgrade from conventional dentures without full arch fixed restoration

Who This Is Not For

  • Patients with severe bone loss requiring extensive grafting first
  • Individuals with untreated periodontal disease
  • Those with unrealistic expectations about eating all foods
  • Patients unwilling to perform the required implant and denture hygiene

The Process

1

Evaluation: Dr. Amini assesses your existing denture, bone density via CBCT, and discusses your functional and aesthetic goals.

2

Implant Placement: 2-6 implants are placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia with sedation. The number and position depend on your bone and the type of denture attachment.

3

Healing Period: Implants integrate with bone over 3-6 months. Your existing denture can be relined for comfortable use during healing.

4

Denture Conversion: Once healed, your denture is modified with precision attachments that snap or lock onto the implants, providing secure, stable retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is an implant-supported denture different from a regular denture?
Implant-supported dentures attach securely to implants in your jaw, eliminating movement, improving chewing function (up to 70% of natural), and preventing the bone loss that occurs with traditional dentures.
How many implants are needed?
Typically 2 implants for a removable (snap-on) overdenture or 4 implants for a more secure bar-retained or fixed-removable option. Dr. Amini recommends the optimal configuration.
Can my existing denture be converted?
In many cases, yes. Your current denture can be retrofitted with attachment housings once the implants are placed and healed, saving the cost of a new denture.
Will implant-supported dentures feel natural?
Most patients report a dramatic improvement over traditional dentures. The implants provide sensory feedback through the bone (proprioception), making chewing feel more natural.
