Implant Supported Dentures

Restore your smile with implant-supported dentures at Equinox Dental in Monroe, North Carolina. If you’re tired of loose or uncomfortable dentures, implant-supported dentures—also called snap-in dentures or fixed implant dentures—offer a secure, natural-feeling solution designed to improve comfort, function, and confidence.

Implant-supported dentures use dental implants to anchor your denture in place, helping you eat, speak, and smile without worrying about movement or slipping.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are dentures that attach to dental implants placed in your jawbone. Unlike traditional removable dentures, these dentures are stabilized by implants, creating a stronger, more secure fit.

Depending on your needs, implant dentures may be:

Snap-in dentures (removable for cleaning)
Implant-retained dentures
Fixed implant dentures (non-removable, “permanent” dentures)

All options are designed to feel more natural and provide better chewing power than conventional dentures.

Why Choose Dentures with Implants?

Patients often choose implant-supported dentures because they:

Stay securely in place
Improve chewing ability
Feel more natural than traditional dentures
Help prevent jawbone loss
Reduce sore spots and irritation
Eliminate the need for messy adhesives
Restore confidence when speaking and smiling

Dental implants replace missing tooth roots, helping preserve bone and facial structure.

Am I a Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?

You may be a good candidate if you:

Are missing multiple teeth or all teeth
Have loose or uncomfortable dentures
Want a more permanent tooth replacement option
Have sufficient jawbone (or are open to bone grafting if needed)
Are in generally good oral health

Dr. Soni will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best implant denture option for your smile.
