Implant-Supported Dentures
A denture that snaps onto implants for a secure fit you can remove to clean.
An implant supported denture is a removable denture that clips onto a few implants for a much more secure hold.
Implants are placed in the jaw, and your denture is fitted to snap onto them, so it stays put yet lifts out for cleaning.
The implants keep the denture from slipping, which makes eating and speaking easier and more comfortable than with a standard denture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about implant-supported dentures.
This option is a good fit for people who wear or need a denture but want a much steadier hold. It gives more stability than a standard denture without a fully fixed set of teeth. Dr. Perimenis will check that you have enough bone to support the implants.
A few implants are placed in the jaw and given time to heal. Once they are stable, your denture is fitted to snap onto them, so it stays secure while you eat and speak yet still lifts out for cleaning.
Placing the implants is done in one visit, with the final denture fitted after they have healed over the following months. The exact timeline depends on your healing and is planned with you.
You still remove the denture each day to clean it, and Dr. Perimenis checks the fit of the attachments over time. The clips may need occasional adjustment to keep the hold snug.
Any tenderness after the implants are placed usually eases within a few days. The denture is adjusted for comfort as you heal, and you will get simple care instructions.
