If you’ve ever dealt with dentures that shift, slip, or feel uncomfortable, you know how much it can affect daily life. Implant-retained fixed complete dentures at Guiding Light Dental offer a more secure and lasting solution, designed to stay in place and feel more natural with every bite and smile.
What Are Implant-retained Fixed Complete Dentures?
Implant-retained fixed complete dentures are custom-made restorations that replace a full set of teeth by anchoring directly to dental implants placed in the jaw. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and may move or slip, implant-supported dentures permanently lock into place for added stability and support.
Depending on your needs, most patients require two to six implants per arch (upper or lower).
When Are Implant-retained Fixed Complete Dentures a Good Option?
Implant-supported dentures are typically recommended for patients who:
- Have lost most or all their teeth
- Have enough healthy jawbone to support implants
- Are looking for a more stable and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures
- Are in good general and oral health
A thorough evaluation with our team will help determine if you’re a good candidate.
The Implant-retained Fixed Complete Dentures Procedure
The first step is a friendly consultation and some imaging so we can get a clear look at your jawbone and dental health. If everything looks good, we will schedule the implant placement surgery.
After the procedure, there’s a healing period—usually a few months—so the implants can bond with the jaw. After your mouth has fully healed, we attach your custom denture to the implants for a permanent tooth replacement.
Why Patients Choose Implant-retained Fixed Complete Dentures
- Better stability while speaking and eating
- No slipping or discomfort from loose dentures
