Where Modern Dentistry Meets Comfortable Care
Denture Implants at Smooth Dental
Denture implants combine the benefits of dental implants with the coverage of dentures to restore multiple missing teeth. Titanium implants are placed into the jawbone where they act as artificial tooth roots. These implants fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation that supports a custom denture.
This approach offers greater security compared to traditional removable dentures while restoring the appearance and function of your smile. Implant-supported dentures help patients speak, chew, and smile with greater comfort and confidence.

Why Patients Choose Implant-Supported Dentures

How Denture Implants Work
Denture implant treatment typically involves placing several dental implants in the jawbone to support a custom denture. After placement, the implants gradually integrate with the bone, providing strong and stable support for the final restoration.
- Comprehensive exam and treatment planning
- Placement of dental implants in the jawbone
- Healing period for implant integration
- Attachment of a custom implant-supported denture

Denture Implants FAQ
- What are denture implants?
- Denture implants are dental implants placed in the jawbone that support a denture. The implants act as anchors, creating a more secure and stable foundation than traditional removable dentures.
- How are implant-supported dentures different from traditional dentures?
- Traditional dentures rest on the gums and may shift during use. Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants, providing greater stability and improved chewing function.
- Are denture implants permanent?
- The dental implants themselves are designed to be long-lasting, while the denture attached to them may need periodic adjustments or replacement over time.
- Do denture implants help prevent bone loss?
- Yes. Because implants stimulate the jawbone like natural tooth roots, they help maintain bone density and reduce the bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.
- Is the procedure painful?
- The implant placement procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia to keep patients comfortable. Mild swelling or soreness may occur afterward but usually improves within a few days.
- How long does the denture implant process take?
- The implants are usually placed during a single procedure, but several months of healing may be needed for them to fully integrate with the jawbone before the final denture is attached.
- Can denture implants improve chewing ability?
- Yes. Implant-supported dentures allow patients to chew more effectively and enjoy a wider variety of foods compared to traditional dentures.
- How do I care for implant-supported dentures?
- Daily brushing, proper cleaning of the denture, and routine dental visits help maintain the health of the implants and surrounding tissues.
