What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a type of overdenture that is securely anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and can move or shift, implant-supported dentures stay firmly in place, providing more comfort and function.
Benefits of implant-supported dentures include:
- Improved chewing ability and speech
- Greater stability—no slipping or clicking
- Bone preservation and reduced facial sagging
- A more natural look and feel
- Freedom from adhesives or taking dentures in and out daily
Who’s a Good Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?
You may be a candidate if:
- You are missing most or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw
- You have enough healthy jawbone (or are open to bone grafting)
- You are in good overall health and a non-smoker
- You’re frustrated with loose or uncomfortable traditional dentures
- You’re seeking a permanent solution that restores full confidence and function
Dr. Petrosky will perform a full evaluation using digital imaging and detailed diagnostics to determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you. To find out if you’re a good candidate, contact Tuckerton Dental by calling (609) 296-1007.
What to Expect During the Implant Denture Process
Consultation & Planning: Digital scans, medical review, and treatment planning
Consultation & Planning:- Implant Placement: Titanium implants are surgically placed in the jawbone
- Healing Period: Implants fuse to the bone over 3–6 months (osseointegration)
- Abutment & Restoration: Denture is custom made and attached to the implants
Throughout the entire process, Dr. Petrosky and his compassionate team will be by your side — ensuring comfort, answering questions, and providing the expert care you deserve.
How to Maintain Implant-Supported Dentures
To keep your implant-supported dentures functioning well and looking great, follow these simple daily and long-term care tips:
Brush daily: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your dentures, gums, and implant posts. Brush twice a day using a non-abrasive denture cleanser or implant-safe toothpaste.
Use a water flosser or interdental brush: Clean around the implant abutments and under the denture to remove plaque and debris. Water flossers and special brushes help reach hard-to-access areas.
Rinse after meals: After eating, gently rinse your mouth and denture to clear away food particles and reduce bacteria buildup.
Visit your dentist regularly: Schedule routine checkups with Dr. Petrosky at Tuckerton Dental to check the fit of your denture, assess the health of your implants, and receive professional dental cleanings.
Avoid hard or sticky foods: While implant dentures are stable, avoiding overly hard, crunchy, or sticky foods can help extend their life and prevent unnecessary pressure on the implants.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most full-arch implant dentures require 4 to 6 implants per jaw. Dr. Petrosky will determine the right number based on your bone health and treatment plan.
Fixed implant dentures are permanent and only removable by your dentist. Removable options snap in and out but are much more secure than traditional dentures.
Most patients report minimal discomfort, similar to having a tooth extracted. We offer gentle sedation and anesthesia options for your comfort.
With proper care, implants can last 15+ years or even a lifetime. The denture component may need replacement after 7–10 years due to wear.
