Implant supported dentures are secured by sturdy dental implants by the skilled dentists at Washington Center for Dentistry. Implant supported dentures snap in place to attach securely to the top of dental implants to provide a secure hold, eliminating the need for pastes or adhesives. In addition, implant supported dentures may be removed for regular cleaning. This is a great option for denture patients since many have suffered from the painful reality of dentures rocking in their mouths, experienced facial changes and the inability to eat certain foods. These teeth enhanced with our cosmetic dentistry and restorative techniques look and function like a patient’s own natural teeth.

If you still have some natural teeth, those would usually need to be removed before moving forward. That decision depends on the condition of your remaining teeth — if they’re healthy and stable, other treatment options might make more sense. But if they’re badly damaged or not expected to last, it may be better to remove them and place implants to support a full denture.
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, the implant posts themselves can often last a lifetime. The denture that attaches to the implants may need to be repaired or replaced over time, usually after 10 – 15 years, depending on wear and how well it’s maintained.
Implant-supported dentures should be cleaned every day to remove food and bacteria, just like natural teeth. Brushing, flossing, and using tools made for cleaning around implants help keep the gums and implants healthy. Regular dental visits are also important to check that everything stays in good shape and working properly.
