Implant-supported dentures are a secure, modern alternative to traditional dentures. They use durable dental implants to anchor the denture firmly in place, improving stability, comfort, and chewing ability. Because the denture isn’t resting on top of the gums, patients experience a more natural feel and greater confidence, and we frequently recommend them for individuals seeking a long-lasting, durable solution for multiple missing teeth.

How long do implant dentures last?
Implant-supported dentures are designed for long-term reliability. With proper care, the implants themselves can last decades—often a lifetime—while the denture component typically lasts 7–10 years before needing replacement or adjustments. Longevity also depends on your oral hygiene, routine dental check-ups, and overall health. We will closely monitor your implants during regular checkups to ensure they remain stable and functional for many years.
How do you take care of implant-supported dentures?
Caring for implant-supported dentures involves daily cleaning, regular brushing of the denture, and gently scrubbing around the implants to remove plaque. A soft brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner work best. You should also plan to visit our office for routine appointments so we can examine the implants, ensure the denture fits properly, and help maintain your gum and bone health.
Can implant dentures help prevent bone loss?
Implant-supported dentures can greatly prevent bone loss. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone the same way natural tooth roots do, which encourages bone preservation and prevents the shrinking that occurs with traditional dentures. This improved stability helps maintain your facial structure and overall oral health. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your bone density to determine if implants are a suitable option for long-term support.
Do implant-supported dentures look natural?
Definitely! Our implant-supported dentures are custom-designed to match the shape, color, and appearance of your natural teeth and gums. Because they’re anchored to implants, they sit securely and look more lifelike than traditional dentures, which can sometimes shift or appear bulky. Most patients find that implant dentures provide a confident, natural smile that blends seamlessly with their facial features.
Schedule ConsultationWhat are the common signs and symptoms I should be aware of?
If you have obstructive sleep apnea, some of the most common signs include loud snoring, stopping breathing while asleep, gasping for air during sleep, dry mouth on waking, morning headaches, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia), and mood changes. It’s important to talk with your doctor and/or dentist if you believe you may suffer from sleep apnea.
Can sleep apnea be cured, or is it a manageable condition?
Yes! In many cases, sleep apnea can be either cured or managed depending on the root cause of the disorder. If you’re curious about the options available to you, call our office to schedule your consultation.
Will sleep apnea treatment need to be continued for life?
Many who receive sleep apnea treatment are lifelong patients. The root cause of your sleep apnea will often dictate treatment options and how long you can expect to continue treatment for sleep apnea.
