Implant-supported dentures offer a secure option for those needing to replace most or all of their teeth. Find out more.

Implant-Supported Dentures for Confident Smiles

Those who want more security than what traditional dentures offer can opt for implant-supported dentures. Implant-supported dentures can be permanently placed in the mouth or come as a snap-on set that is easy to maintain with a quick wash and helps care for your gums. At Versante Dental in Mississauga, we work with you to provide you with several dental options so you can choose what is right for you.

The Difference in Implant-Supported Dentures

Checkmark

Implant-supported dentures are different from traditional dentures because they attach to posts in your mouth for a secure, more comfortable fit.

Checkmark

There is no slippage, and you don’t have to remove your dentures at night, soak them, or clean them like traditional dentures.

Checkmark

They feel and function like natural teeth, giving you a confident smile and allowing you to eat as you wish.

Installing Implant-Supported Dentures

Checkmark

Implant-supported dentures are secured with titanium posts, similar to dental implants. The difference is they don’t require an implant for every tooth, so there are fewer implants for a partial or full denture. Installation can also be done by angling posts, allowing for less bone density. In some cases, patients are advised to undergo bone grafting before dental implant surgery. Those receiving bone grafts will need additional healing time before implants can be inserted.

Maintaining Implant-Supported Dentures

Maintenance of implant-supported dentures follows many of the same habits as maintaining natural teeth. You will need a special toothpaste to clean your dentures, and you should brush them twice a day. You will continue to floss and see your dentist regularly.

Initial healing takes around two weeks, but complete healing and fusion with the jawbone take three to six months.
What do you do about the posts while my gums heal?
We insert a temporary denture to cover the posts.
