What Are Implant Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are dental prosthetics that attach to dental implants placed in the jawbone instead of resting solely on the gums. The implants act as secure anchors, holding the denture firmly in place and preventing movement while eating or speaking.
Unlike conventional dentures, implant-supported dentures offer enhanced stability, improved comfort, and a more natural appearance. Depending on your needs, they can be removable for easy cleaning or fixed in place for maximum security.
Implant-Supported Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures rely on suction and adhesives, which can lead to instability and discomfort over time. Implant-supported dentures provide several key advantages:
- A secure fit that stays in place
- Improved chewing efficiency
- Reduced gum irritation and sore spots
- No messy adhesives
- A more natural look and feel
In addition, dental implants help preserve jawbone density, reducing the bone loss and facial collapse that often occur with long-term denture use.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
Patients choose implant-supported dentures at Scottsdale Elite Dentistry for many reasons, including:
Enhanced Stability
Dental implants hold the denture firmly in place, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Greater Comfort
With less pressure on the gums, implant-supported dentures are more comfortable than traditional dentures.
Improved Function
Enjoy a wider range of foods and better chewing ability compared to removable dentures.
Natural Appearance
Each denture is custom designed to complement your facial features and create a realistic, confident smile.
Long-Term Oral Health
Dental implants help maintain jawbone structure and support long-term oral health.

Types of ImplantSupported Dentures
Removable Implant-Supported Dentures
At Scottsdale Elite Dentistry, we tailor treatment to your specific needs. Common options include:
These dentures snap securely onto dental implants and can be removed for daily cleaning. They offer improved stability while remaining easy to maintain.
Fixed Implant-Supported Dentures
Fixed dentures are permanently attached to dental implants and can only be removed by a dental professional. This option provides the most natural feel and maximum stability.
Your dentist will help determine which option best suits your lifestyle, oral health, and goals.
Who Is a Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?

Even patients with bone loss may still qualify. A personalized consultation at Scottsdale Elite Dentistry will help determine the best treatment option for you.
The Implant-Supported Denture Process
While every case is unique, the process generally includes:
Consultation & Planning
A comprehensive evaluation using digital imaging to assess bone structure and oral health.
Implant Placement
Dental implants are placed into the jawbone to serve as secure anchors for the denture.
Healing & Integration
