Implant-Retained Dentures

Implant-retained dentures use implants instead of suction and adhesives to hold your dentures in place.

How many implants do I need?

Usually, your dentist will need to use at least 2 implants per arch, along with the support attachments such as a small set of studs or a bar.

Are implant-retained dentures an option if I already wear dentures?

If you are a suitable candidate for implants, implant-retained dentures are definitely an option even if you already wear dentures.

How long do I have to wait before my implant-retained dentures can be used?

The exact amount of time necessary to fit your implant-retained dentures varies from patient to patient. Sometimes your dentist can fit them properly in a single visit.

The dentist will provide you with a temporary set of dentures to use immediately after inserting the implants.

How do I care for my implant-retained dentures?

Your dentures slide over and slot into place over the implants. For cleaning, just remove the dentures and place them over night in an anti-bacterial cleaning solution.
