you are suffering from loose-fitting dentures, come in and talk to us about denture repairs and relines to help adjust the fit, or perhaps new overdentures using denture implants are a better option for you.
Denture implants are a more secure solution to replace missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures that can move around and cause discomfort or difficulty eating, denture implants are anchored in the jaw bone through your gums. Posts are installed in the bone and act as a base or anchor for artificial teeth, bridges, or dentures.
Creating your new smile requires four to five appointments, depending on the type of denture you choose.

If you select an overdenture, or Snap-On teeth, then an additional appointment to place denture implants are required. Once the denture implants are in place, your jawbone and gums need time for healing. During that time, transitional or immediate dentures are available to wear so you never have to hide your smile. Once your jaw and surrounding areas have healed, your new permanent denture will be placed.
The benefits of denture implants are both aesthetic and functional:
- They give you a more natural smile.
- They stay in place more securely, so you can eat what you like without worrying about loose dentures.
- They can improve speech by replacing missing teeth.
- They protect remaining teeth from drifting and crowding and prevent bone loss.
If you have concerns about missing teeth or want more options than a traditional denture, speak with our dentist or denturist about denture or dental implants. We’ll assess if you are a candidate for implants, and recommend the best solution for you.
