Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant dentures offer transformative advantages over traditional dentures
Secure Fit
Implants anchor your dentures securely in place, eliminating slipping, sliding, and embarrassing moments while eating or speaking.
Preserves Jawbone
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs with traditional dentures over time.
Enhanced Comfort
No more painful pressure points or gum irritation. Implant dentures distribute chewing forces evenly across the jaw.
Improved Eating
Restore up to 70% of natural biting force, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of foods including crunchy fruits and vegetables.
Better Speech
Eliminate the clicking sounds and speech difficulties often associated with loose traditional dentures.
Easy Maintenance
Remove your dentures for thorough cleaning while enjoying the security of implants when wearing them.

Implant Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures

| Stability | Securely attached to implants | Relies on suction/adhesives, can slip |
| Bone Preservation | Stimulates bone, prevents resorption | Accelerates bone loss over time |
| Eating Ability | Up to 70% of natural chewing force | Limited to softer foods, reduced chewing efficiency |
| Comfort | No pressure points or gum irritation | Can cause sore spots and discomfort |
| Maintenance | Remove for cleaning, secure when worn | Remove for cleaning, requires adhesives |
| Speech | No slipping or clicking sounds | Can affect pronunciation, may click |
| Long-Term Cost | Higher initial investment, lower long-term | Lower initial cost, ongoing expenses for relines/adhesives |

Frequently Asked Questions - Implant Dentures
How much do implant dentures cost in Atlanta?
In Atlanta, implant-supported dentures typically range from $12,000 to $45,000 depending on the specific technique used (snap-in, bar-retained, etc.), number of implants placed, materials selected, and whether you're restoring one or both arches. This comprehensive cost includes the surgical placement of implants and the custom prosthetic denture.
How long do implant dentures last?
With proper care and maintenance, the implant portion can last a lifetime. The denture portion may need replacement after 7-15 years due to normal wear, and the attachment mechanisms may need periodic replacement. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene are essential for longevity.
Can I sleep with my implant dentures?
While implant dentures are secure enough to sleep in, we recommend removing them at night to allow your gum tissues to rest and to facilitate thorough cleaning of both the dentures and implant attachments. This practice helps maintain optimal oral health.
How do implant dentures compare to fixed bridges?
Implant dentures are removable for cleaning, while fixed bridges are permanently attached. Implant dentures typically require fewer implants than fixed bridges and are often more affordable. Both options provide excellent stability compared to traditional dentures, with the choice depending on your specific needs, budget, and preferences.
Is the implant denture procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during the surgery. Most patients report that discomfort after the procedure is manageable with prescribed medication and typically subsides within a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery.
How do I clean implant dentures?
Implant dentures should be removed daily for cleaning. Brush the dentures with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner, and clean around the implant attachments in your mouth. We provide specific instructions and may recommend special cleaning tools to maintain your implant dentures properly.
Can I get implant dentures if I already have traditional dentures?
Yes, many of our Atlanta patients transition from traditional dentures to implant-supported dentures. In some cases, your existing dentures can be modified to work with implants, though custom-made dentures typically provide the best fit and function. We'll evaluate your current dentures during your consultation.
How soon after extractions can I get implant dentures?
This depends on your specific situation. In some cases, implants can be placed immediately after extractions. In other situations, we may recommend waiting 3-6 months for the extraction sites to heal. During your consultation, we'll determine the best timeline for your individual needs.
