Implant Supported Dentures
Implant Supported Dentures at Port Road Dental
Implant supported dentures use a small number of dental implants to anchor a full or partial denture securely in place, providing better chewing power, fit, and comfort than a traditional removable denture. At Port Road Dental in Fox Point, Wisconsin, we customize every case so your new teeth look natural, feel stable, and support your long-term oral health.
What Are Implant Supported Dentures?
Instead of resting loosely on your gums, implant supported dentures snap or clip onto implants placed in your jaw. The implants act like artificial tooth roots, helping to stabilize your denture and support the bone underneath. Depending on your needs, your denture may be removable for easy cleaning or designed to stay in place all the time.
- Improved Stability and Comfort Your denture is held firmly by implants, reducing slipping, rubbing, and sore spots.
- Better Chewing and Speaking With more stability, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods and speak clearly without worrying your denture will move.
- Support for Jawbone and Facial Shape Dental implants help stimulate the jawbone, which can slow bone loss and help maintain your facial profile over time.
- Removable or Fixed Options We’ll discuss whether a snap-in overdenture or a more permanent, fixed bridge is the best fit for your lifestyle and goals.
What to Expect From Treatment
Your journey to a more secure smile starts with a thorough exam and a conversation about what you would like to change about your teeth and dentures. We use detailed imaging and diagnostics to plan implant placement, then coordinate each step of your care so you always know what comes next.
- Comprehensive consultation and 3D imaging to assess bone health and plan implant positions.
- Comfort-focused implant placement with local anesthetic and optional additional comfort options when appropriate.
- A healing phase to allow the implants to fuse with the bone for long-term stability.
- Design and fitting of your new custom denture for a natural appearance and comfortable bite.
- Ongoing checkups and adjustments to keep your denture and implants working their best.
Is an Implant Supported Denture Right for You?
Implant supported dentures are often a great option if you are missing most or all of your teeth, dislike the fit of your current denture, or want a more secure and natural-feeling solution. Good candidates generally have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support implants, or may benefit from preparatory treatments to build a stronger foundation. The team at Port Road Dental will review your health history, take necessary images, and talk through your goals to help you decide.
If you are curious whether implants could improve your denture, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. We will review expected costs, timelines, and any available insurance or financing options in clear language, so you can make a confident decision. Call our friendly team at (414) 351-6300 to get started.
Implant Supported Dentures: Frequently Asked Questions
- How are implant supported dentures different from traditional dentures?
- Traditional dentures rest on your gums and can shift during eating or talking. Implant supported dentures attach to dental implants placed in your jawbone, which gives them greater stability and chewing strength. Many patients find them more comfortable and secure than a conventional denture.
- Are implant supported dentures painful?
- Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable implant treatment can be. We use local anesthetic during implant placement, and we will review additional comfort options when appropriate. Some soreness is normal for a few days after surgery, but this usually improves quickly and can be managed with recommended home care.
- How long do implant supported dentures last?
- With good home care and regular dental visits, implants can last many years and often decades. The denture that attaches to the implants may eventually need to be relined, repaired, or replaced due to normal wear, but your implants are designed to be a long-term foundation for your smile.
- Will I be without teeth during treatment?
- In many cases, we can provide a temporary denture or adjust your existing denture so you never have to go without teeth while your implants heal. We’ll explain your specific timeline and options during your consultation at Port Road Dental.
- Am I too old for implant supported dentures?
- Age alone is not usually a barrier. What matters most is your overall health, jawbone condition, and ability to heal. Many older adults in Fox Point, Wisconsin choose implant supported dentures to improve their comfort and quality of life. We will carefully review your medical history and help you decide if this treatment is right for you.
- How do I care for implant supported dentures?
- Care depends on whether your denture is removable or fixed. Removable overdentures are taken out daily for cleaning, while fixed options are brushed and cleaned in your mouth. In both cases, you will need regular checkups and professional cleanings so we can monitor the health of your gums, implants, and denture.
- What do implant supported dentures cost?
- The cost varies based on the number of implants, type of denture, and any preparatory procedures needed. After your exam, we will provide a clear estimate, review how your insurance may help, and discuss payment or financing options so there are no surprises.
- How do I get started?
- The first step is a personalized consultation at Port Road Dental in Fox Point, Wisconsin. We’ll listen to your concerns, examine your mouth, and discuss whether implant supported dentures can help you reach your goals. Call (414) 351-6300 to schedule your visit.
