Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the full-arch coverage of traditional dentures. Instead of resting on the gums alone, the denture attaches to implants placed in the jawbone, offering a secure fit for patients who want an alternative to removable prosthetics that shift or click. At Brighton Family Dentistry in Brooklyn, NY, this option is offered alongside our broader implant and denture services.

What This Treatment Involves

Dental Implants — titanium posts placed in the jaw act as anchors for the denture, replacing the roots of missing teeth.
Bone Grafting — when the jawbone needs additional support before implants can be placed, grafting may be recommended.
Extractions — remaining damaged or unhealthy teeth are sometimes removed as part of preparing the mouth for implants.

Who Typically Considers This Option

Patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, or who find removable dentures uncomfortable or unstable, often ask about implant-supported options. It's also relevant for those already wearing traditional dentures who want a more secure alternative.

Ongoing Care

Denture Repair — available if the prosthetic component of an implant-supported denture is damaged.
Cleanings and Exams — regular visits help monitor the implants, surrounding gum tissue, and overall fit.
