What Is an Implant-supported Denture and Why Are They Used?
Implant-supported dentures are a type of dental prosthesis that offer increased stability, function, and aesthetics compared to traditional dentures. They are supported by dental implants placed in the jawbone and are used as a solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants prevent denture slippage, stimulate the jawbone, and provide a reliable and long-lasting solution. As a dental clinic, we offer implant-supported denture services to improve our patient’s oral health and quality of life. Consult with us to determine if this option suits your dental needs.
How much time should I plan for until I have my dentures supported by implants?
Our timeline for getting implant-supported dentures varies depending on factors such as oral health, bone density, and treatment plan. It typically involves an initial consultation, implant placement, a healing period for osseointegration, fabrication of custom dentures, and attachment to the implants. The process can take several months to complete, and follow-up appointments may be needed for adjustments and monitoring. Please consult with our dental team for a personalized timeline for your case.
What is the typical cost of getting denture implants?

What are the clear benefits of choosing denture implants over traditional dentures?
Opting for denture implants instead of traditional dentures can offer several clear benefits. These may include:
- Improved stability: Denture implants are anchored securely to the jawbone using dental implants, which can provide superior stability compared to traditional dentures that rely on adhesive or suction.
- Enhanced comfort: Denture implants are custom-made to fit the contours of your mouth, providing a more comfortable fit and reducing potential sore spots or irritation.
- Natural appearance: Denture implants are designed to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing appearance than traditional dentures.
- Enhanced chewing ability: Denture implants can restore much of your bite strength, allowing for improved chewing ability and a broader range of food choices than traditional dentures.
- Preservation of jawbone: Dental implants used in denture implant treatment can help stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures over time.
- Long-lasting solution: Denture implants are typically more durable and longer-lasting compared to traditional dentures, reducing the need for frequent replacements or adjustments.

Why Choose Denture Implants and Not Regular Dentures?
Denture implants, also known as implant-supported dentures or All-on-4 dentures, are popular for patients seeking a long-term solution for missing teeth. Unlike regular dentures, which rest on the gums and may require adhesives, denture implants are anchored to dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. Here are some reasons why denture implants may be preferred over regular dentures:
- Stability: Denture implants provide superior stability compared to regular dentures. They are firmly attached to dental implants, which act as anchors in the jawbone, eliminating the need for messy adhesives. It allows for confidence in speaking, eating, and smiling without worrying about dentures slipping or shifting.
- Comfort: Denture implants are designed to fit securely and comfortably in the mouth. They do not rub against the gums, reducing the risk of sore spots and discomfort associated with regular dentures.
- Bone preservation: Dental implants used in denture implants help preserve the jawbone by stimulating bone growth and preventing bone loss. It is important as bone loss can occur over time when teeth are missing, leading to facial sagging and changes in bite alignment.
- Durability: Denture implants are made from high-quality materials designed to be durable and long-lasting. Proper care and maintenance can last for many years, providing a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth.
- Aesthetics: Denture implants are customized to match the natural appearance of your teeth and gums, creating a seamless and natural-looking smile. They can also help restore facial features, enhancing overall appearance and boosting self-confidence.
Denture implants may be a great option if you are looking for a reliable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. Consult with your dentist at Gorgeous Smiles Dental in Massachusetts and Connecticut to determine if denture implants are the right choice.
