Stable Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures are a lasting answer to multiple missing teeth, using just a few dental implants to lock a full or partial denture in place. In Mequon, Wisconsin, we design these restorations to look natural, feel comfortable, and let you chew with assurance — all while supporting the health of your jawbone and gums.
What Are Implant Supported Dentures?
These are dentures that fasten to implants set in the jawbone. The implants stand in for natural tooth roots, forming a sturdy base so your denture can either snap on and off or stay permanently fixed, depending on your plan. It’s a big step up in stability from a denture that simply rests on the gums.
Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures
- Exceptional Stability Anchored to implants, your denture holds firm while you eat, speak, and laugh.
- Improved Chewing Power Many patients rediscover a wider range of foods than traditional dentures allow.
- Jawbone and Facial Support Implants stimulate the jaw, which can slow bone loss and help preserve your facial shape.
- Natural-Looking Smile Each denture is custom-made to suit your face, lips, and gums for a lifelike result.
Our Treatment Process
It all starts with a thorough consultation, including digital imaging and a close look at your teeth, gums, and jawbone. If implant supported dentures are a fit, we map out a personalized plan, place the implants precisely, and provide a temporary solution while you heal. Once the implants fuse with the bone, we attach your custom denture, fine-tune it for comfort, and send you off with detailed care guidance.
- Digital imaging and 3D planning for accurate implant placement.
- High-quality implant systems built for long-term reliability.
- Custom dentures shaped and shaded to flatter your features.
Am I a Candidate for Implant Supported Dentures?
You might be a great candidate if you’re missing many or all of your teeth, wrestle with loose dentures, or have been told several teeth need to come out. Ideally you’ll have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support implants, though bone grafting or other prep work can often bridge the gap.
At your visit in Mequon, Wisconsin, we’ll review your medical history, your smile goals, and your budget, then explain every option in plain language. You’ll get a transparent estimate, a discussion of how insurance may help, and a look at any available payment arrangements.

Implant Supported Dentures: Frequently Asked Questions
- What are implant supported dentures?
- They’re dentures that connect to dental implants set in the jawbone. Acting as anchors, the implants give the denture a far more secure, stable fit than a traditional removable one that just sits on the gums.
- How many implants will I need for implant supported dentures?
- It depends on your jawbone, the type of denture, and whether it’ll be removable or fixed. Many lower dentures ride on as few as two to four implants, while uppers may do better with four to six. After a thorough exam, we’ll recommend a plan built for you.
- Is getting implant supported dentures painful?
- Implant placement is done under local anesthesia, with added comfort options when they help. Most patients feel pressure rather than pain during the procedure, followed by a few days of soreness that recommended medications and careful aftercare usually handle.
- How long does the implant supported denture process take?
- Start to finish, it often spans several months, since the implants need time to fuse with the bone. In many cases we can fit you with a temporary so you’re never left without teeth while you heal.
- How do I care for my implant supported dentures?
- Brush your denture and gums daily, clean around the implant attachments as instructed, and keep up with professional checkups and cleanings. Removable types come out for cleaning as directed, while fixed ones get brushed and flossed like natural teeth.
- How long do implant supported dentures last?
- With good home care and regular visits, the implants themselves can last many years — often decades. The denture may need adjustments, a reline, or eventual replacement from normal wear, but the implants are meant to be a long-term foundation.
- What do implant supported dentures cost?
- Cost hinges on the number of implants, the type of denture, and whether extra steps like bone grafting are needed. At your consultation, we’ll give you a personalized estimate, review what insurance may contribute, and go over payment options.
- Will my insurance cover implant supported dentures?
- Coverage varies by plan. Some policies help with parts of the treatment, like the denture or related procedures, while others offer limited benefits toward the implants themselves. We’ll help you review your benefits and make the most of any coverage.
- Am I too old for implant supported dentures?
- Age by itself is rarely the deciding factor. Plenty of healthy older adults are excellent implant candidates. We focus on your overall health, bone quality, and goals to determine whether this option suits you.
- How do I get started with implant supported dentures?
- To begin, book online in Mequon, Wisconsin. We’ll examine your mouth, talk through your goals, and lay out a personalized treatment plan so you can move forward with confidence.
