Implant-Supported Dentures in South Metro Atlanta

Loading...

Unlike traditional dentures that simply rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures are firmly anchored in place using dental implants. This advanced solution offers greater stability, comfort, and a more natural feel. Depending on your preference and oral health needs, implant-supported dentures can be either removable or permanently fixed.

For patients requiring multiple implants, there are two main types of removable options:

  • Bar-Retained Dentures: A thin metal bar is attached to two to five dental implants, with clips that secure the denture in place.

  • Ball-Retained Dentures: Ball-shaped attachments on the implants connect with sockets on the denture, holding it securely.

Both of these removable options allow for easy nightly cleaning.

If you prefer a low-maintenance, permanent solution, a fixed implant-supported denture may be ideal. This type is attached to two, four, or more implants and cannot be removed, providing the feel and function of natural teeth.

The biggest advantage of permanent implant dentures is their natural appearance and function. They stay in place while you eat, speak, laugh, and smile—just like natural teeth—giving you the confidence and comfort of a complete, healthy smile.

What are the Advantages of Implant Dentures?

Implant dentures offer a higher quality of life because they provide solutions to  problems caused by traditional dentures. Unlike traditional dentures that are regularly removed, implant dentures function just like natural teeth and do not move when eating or speaking.
Dental implants also stimulate bone growth rather than allowing the jaw to atrophy when a tooth is permanently removed.
