Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures attach a full denture to a set of dental implants anchored in the jawbone, rather than relying on suction or adhesive against the gums. Many patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in an arch choose this option for a more stable, secure fit than a conventional removable denture provides. Treatment typically involves an evaluation of bone health, placement of implants, and a period of healing before the denture is attached.

Planning Your Treatment

3D Cone Beam CT Imaging — shows bone density and nerve paths in one scan, so implant positions can be planned before any surgery.
Guided Implant Surgery — uses that same scan to guide precise implant placement in the mouth.
iTero Element Scanner — captures a digital model of your arch without messy impression putty.
