Tired of Loose Dentures?

Full-arch implants may be worth exploring if you:

Your dentures move while eating or speaking
You want to explore an alternative to traditional dentures
You rely on denture adhesive
You want improved stability
Your dentures feel uncomfortable
You prefer a removable option

A complete evaluation is required to determine which treatment is appropriate for your individual needs. Some patients may need oral surgery or bone grafting before implant placement.

Designed for Everyday Comfort

Greater Stability

Your restoration is secured to dental implants rather than resting loosely on the gums.

Improved Function

Additional support can make eating and speaking feel more comfortable.

Less Denture Extension

Implant support may allow for a less extensive denture design in appropriate cases.

Removable Convenience

The restoration can still be removed for cleaning and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Dentures

How are implant dentures different from traditional dentures?

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and rely on adhesive or suction for retention. Implant dentures in Fresno attach to dental implants placed in the jawbone, which eliminates slipping, improves chewing ability, and helps preserve bone density over time. Our team can help determine which option suits your needs during a consultation.

How much should implant dentures cost?

The cost of implant dentures depends on several factors, including the number of implants needed, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of prosthesis selected (snap-on vs. fixed). During your consultation at our Fresno office, our team will review your options and provide a clear breakdown of the investment involved.

Am I a good candidate for implant-supported dentures?

Most adults who are missing all or most teeth in an arch may be candidates for implant-supported dentures. Adequate jawbone density is needed to support the implants, though bone grafting can sometimes address bone loss. Patients with uncontrolled health conditions may need additional evaluation. A comprehensive exam with imaging at our Fresno office helps determine the right approach for your situation.

What is the difference between snap-on dentures and fixed implant dentures?

Snap-on dentures clip onto implants and can be removed by the patient for daily cleaning. Fixed implant dentures are permanently secured and function more like natural teeth. Both options provide significantly more stability than traditional dentures, and the right choice depends on your preferences, lifestyle, and clinical needs.

How long does the implant denture process take?

The timeline varies depending on whether bone grafting is needed and the healing required after implant placement. Some patients receive a temporary prosthesis on the same day as surgery. The full process, from initial consultation to final restoration, is outlined during your treatment planning appointment at Fresno Prosthodontics.

How do I care for implant dentures?

Fixed implant dentures are cleaned much like natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing around the implants. Removable implant dentures should be taken out daily for cleaning. Regular check-ups at our Fresno office allow the team to monitor implant health and adjust the prosthesis as needed.
