Call us today at (801) 776-8441 to schedule your free implant consultation.

Types of Implant-Supported Dentures

Not every patient has the same needs. We offer two main types of implant-supported dentures at Hillside Dental:

Removable Implant-Supported Dentures These snap onto implants for a secure fit during the day. You can remove them at night for cleaning. They offer far more stability than traditional dentures while still being easy to maintain.

Fixed Implant-Supported Dentures These are permanently attached to your implants and cannot be removed at home. They function and feel the most like natural teeth. Your provider cleans and services them during your regular dental visits.



Your provider will help you determine which option is the best fit for your lifestyle, bone density, and goals.

  • Want a more permanent and comfortable alternative to conventional dentures

Bone loss does not automatically disqualify you. Some patients need a bone graft before implant placement. Our team will evaluate your situation honestly during your free consultation and explain every option available to you.

The Implant-Supported Denture Process

Here is a general overview of what to expect from start to finish:

1

Free Consultation

We examine your gums, jawbone, and existing teeth or dentures. We take scans and discuss your goals. You leave with a clear picture of your options.

2

Treatment Planning 

Your provider builds a customized plan. This includes the number of implants needed, the type of denture that suits you best, and any preparatory procedures required.

3

Implant Placement

The implants are placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia. A temporary restoration may be placed the same day.

4

Healing Period

Your implants fuse with your jawbone over the next few months. This process, called osseointegration, creates a strong and stable base.

5

Denture Attachment 

Once fully healed, your custom denture is attached to the implants. You leave with a complete, secure, and natural-looking smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant-Supported Dentures

  • How many implants do I need to support a denture?

    Most patients need two to four implants per arch for a removable denture. Fixed options typically require four to six implants. Your provider will determine the right number for your situation.

  • Are implant-supported dentures painful to get?

    The procedure is performed under anesthesia. Most patients experience mild soreness for a few days afterward. Discomfort is very manageable for the majority of patients.

  • Can I eat normally with implant-supported dentures?

    Yes. Implant-supported dentures restore much of your chewing ability. You can enjoy a wider range of foods than you could with traditional dentures.

  • How do I clean implant-supported dentures?

    Removable versions are cleaned similarly to traditional dentures. Fixed versions are brushed in place and professionally cleaned during your dental visits.

  • How long do implant-supported dentures last?

    The implants themselves can last 20 years or more. The denture portion may need adjustment or replacement over time due to normal wear.

  • What if I have been wearing dentures for years?

    Many long-term denture wearers make excellent candidates for implant-supported options. Bone loss is common in this group, but our team will assess your bone levels and discuss solutions if needed.

  • Are implant-supported dentures worth the cost?

    Most patients find the improved comfort, stability, and quality of life well worth the investment. We discuss all pricing and financing options during your free consultation.
