What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

These prostheses attach to a handful of titanium implants placed in the jaw. The implants act like artificial tooth roots, preventing movement and helping preserve bone. Compared with traditional plates that rely on suction or adhesive, the result is a denture that feels stable and allows you to chew more comfortably day to day.

Who Is a Candidate?

Good candidates include patients with multiple missing teeth or full-arch tooth loss who want better stability than a conventional denture provides. Healthy gums, adequate bone, and commitment to oral hygiene are important. If bone has thinned, grafting or a zygomatic/short-implant approach may be discussed after imaging and evaluation.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

  • Greater stability: minimal rocking or slipping while talking or laughing.

  • Improved chewing efficiency: enjoy a broader range of foods with confidence.

  • Bone preservation: functional load helps slow ridge resorption.

  • Natural look and feel: customized shape, shade, and bite alignment.

  • Comfort: reduced sore spots and less reliance on adhesive.

  • Clear speech: fewer pronunciation challenges caused by denture movement.

  • Long-term value: components are serviceable; the foundation is designed to last.

Types: Fixed vs. Snap-In

Fixed hybrid (screw-retained). Often called a fixed full-arch, this option stays in place and is removed only by the dentist for maintenance. It offers a “most like natural teeth” feel and typically uses 4–6 implants per arch (protocols like All-on-4 may apply depending on anatomy).

Snap-in overdenture (locators/bar). This removable design “clicks” onto implants via attachments or a bar. It improves retention dramatically versus a conventional denture and makes home cleaning straightforward. Many patients appreciate the blend of security and convenience.

Treatment Process

1) Consultation & Imaging. Dr. Oliveira performs a comprehensive exam with 3D imaging to map bone, nerves, and sinus anatomy.
2) Planning & Design. We select fixed or snap-in based on goals, hygiene preferences, and bone volume. Esthetics and bite are digitally planned.
3) Implant Placement. Implants are placed with guided precision. When appropriate, a provisional prosthesis may be delivered the same day so you never go without a smile.
4) Healing & Integration. Over several weeks, bone bonds to the implant surface. We monitor comfort, bite, and soft-tissue health.
5) Final Prosthesis. Your custom denture (fixed or removable) is fabricated for optimal esthetics, phonetics, and function, then fitted and adjusted.

Recovery & Care

Mild soreness is common for a few days and is usually manageable with over-the-counter relief. Follow a soft diet as instructed, keep the area clean, and attend all follow-ups. For fixed options, specialized brushes and water flossers help keep tissues healthy. For snap-ins, remove, clean thoroughly, and seat the denture until it “clicks.” Routine maintenance extends component life and preserves gum and bone health.
