Secure, Comfortable Dentures That Don’t Slip. Say goodbye to messy adhesives and eat your favorite foods again.
Are you tired of dentures that slip when you speak, click when you chew, or require messy pastes to stay in place? Hometown Dental Howell offers a life-changing solution.
Implant-supported dentures are a modern hybrid solution that combines the affordability of traditional dentures with the unmatched stability of dental implants. Instead of resting on your gums, these dentures attach securely to two or more titanium implants placed in your jawbone.
This “snap-in” or fixed mechanism locks the denture firmly in place. You can eat, speak, laugh, and smile with complete confidence, knowing your teeth will never slip or fall out. Furthermore, the implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the facial sagging often associated with long-term denture wear.
Upgrading to implant-supported dentures provides immediate improvements to your quality of life.
Regain up to 70-80% of your natural chewing power. You can finally eat crisp apples, steak, and nuts without worry.
The implants lock the denture in place. Say goodbye to embarrassing moments of your teeth slipping while talking or laughing.
Because the denture snaps onto the implants, you will never need to buy or apply messy, foul-tasting denture pastes again.
The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that causes traditional dentures to become loose over time.
We carefully plan every step to ensure your new smile is comfortable, secure, and beautiful.
We evaluate your jawbone density using 3D imaging to determine the optimal locations to place the supporting implants.
The titanium posts (usually 2 to 4 per arch) are surgically placed into the jawbone. We offer sedation to ensure your comfort.
The implants need 3 to 6 months to fuse with the bone. You will wear a temporary denture during this time so you are never without teeth.
Once healed, we attach special abutments to the implants and fit your custom-crafted denture to snap securely into place.
Yes! Because the denture is anchored to implants in your jawbone, it provides a highly stable bite. You will be able to comfortably eat most of the foods you love without the denture shifting or popping out.
We offer two types: “Snap-in” overdentures which you remove yourself daily for cleaning, and fixed/hybrid dentures (like All-on-X) which are permanently screwed into the implants and only removed by a dentist.
In some cases, if your current traditional denture is in excellent condition and fits well, we can retrofit it with the necessary snap attachments to fit over the new implants. However, a new, custom-made denture often provides the best results.
For a lower denture, we typically need a minimum of two implants for stability. For an upper denture, we usually recommend four implants because the upper jawbone is generally softer and requires more support.
