Your guide to implant-supported dentures for full and partial teeth replacement
Implant-supported dentures are just one way for patients looking for full and partial teeth replacement to achieve a restored smile. Traditional implants can replace one or several teeth, while implant-supported or implant-retained dentures are used to replace the entire arch. Dr. Anu Mohan and her team at I-Rise Dental Boutique in Del Mar, California, are here to assist with educating patients on the best solution for their needs. Below are some common questions about our implant-related restorations.
What are implant-supported dentures?
Dr. Mohan describes these types of dentures as a hybrid between traditional dentures and dental implants. They provide stability, support, and security for patients with difficulty wearing conventional dentures due to bone loss or misshapen jaw structures. Implant-supported dentures are removable overdentures that attach to dental implants in the mouth. These dentures may be full arch, replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or partial dentures, replacing several missing teeth in specific areas of the mouth.
How do implant-supported dentures work?
Implant-supported dentures use titanium posts, known as dental implants, that are placed into the jawbone to securely anchor the denture, unlike traditional dentures, which rely on adhesives or suction. The implants function as artificial tooth roots, providing a strong foundation for the denture to attach to. This allows the dentures to function more like natural teeth, giving patients increased stability and comfort while eating and speaking.
Can implants be used for full and partial teeth replacement?
Yes, dental implants can be used for both full and partial teeth replacement. They are a versatile and reliable option for replacing missing teeth, as they can support different restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and dentures. When you talk to our team at I-Rise Dental Boutique, you can discuss the type of restoration best for your smile and decide if you are an appropriate candidate for dental implants.

What are the actual differences between traditional dentures and implant dentures?
Traditional dentures sit on top of the gums and rely on natural suction or denture adhesives to stay in place. Implant dentures, on the other hand, are anchored by dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This provides a more secure fit and function, preventing slipping or shifting while eating or speaking.
What are the benefits of implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported dentures offer many benefits, including improved stability and function, a more natural appearance, and increased comfort. They also preserve jawbone health by preventing bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures. Additionally, they do not require messy adhesives and can be easily removed for cleaning.
