Are implant dentures removable?

They can be. Implant dentures can be supported by dental implants and be fully removable, or they can be permanently attached to the implants. Speak to one of our denturists to find out which option would be best for you.

If dentures can be permanently fixed, why not just replace all teeth with implants?

Full arch replacement is always an option. Contrary to what many people believe, when full arch is replaced with dental implants, we do not replace each individual tooth with implant, instead, all of the teeth in the arch are attached to 4 or more implants that act as pillars for the rest of the restoration. This provides enough support for the restoration and keeps the costs lower than having to replace each tooth individually with the implants.

How many implants do dentures need?

It depends on whether the patient is getting upper or lower dentures, partial dentures, a full arch, or complete dentures installed. Partial dentures may require 1 or 2 implants. A full arch denture will need at least two implants, but possibly three or four. Complete, full mouth dentures will require anywhere from four to eight implants.

How long do implant dentures last?

As long as the teeth are properly cared for, and the gums and jawbone are kept healthy through proper nutrition and denture use, implant dentures like any other denture will last up to 10-15 years.

Can food get caught under implant dentures?

With implant dentures, food is less likely to get caught underneath. If any food does get underneath, less gum irritation will be caused because the dentures don’t put pressure on the gums. Rather, the force from chewing is transferred through the implant posts into the bone structure at the other end of the posts.

Benefits of Implant Dentures

Dental implants integrate with the bone in your mouth and act as an anchor for the dentures. In fact, they help preserve jawbone long term and provide stimulation that the bone have lacked in the absence of natural teeth, helping to maintain the integrity of your face’s structure. Implant dentures are placed on top of those dental implants which secures them firmly into place, which in turn increases the function.
