What Are Implant Dentures?

Combining the Stability of Implants with the Affordability of Dentures

Implant dentures are prosthetic teeth supported by dental implants placed in the jawbone. They offer greater security, chewing ability, and esthetic appearance than traditional dentures alone.

At our Houston practice, we offer two main types:

Snap-In Implant Dentures (Overdentures): Removable for easy cleaning, securely snapping onto dental implants.
Fixed Implant Dentures (Hybrid Bridges): Permanently attached and only removable by a dentist — the closest thing to natural teeth.

What are the Advantages of Implant Dentures?

✅ No slipping or shifting during eating or speaking
✅ Improved chewing power for a wider variety of foods
✅ Preservation of jawbone and facial structure
✅ Greater comfort compared to traditional dentures
✅ Natural appearance and custom esthetics
✅ Long-term investment in your health and quality of life

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Dentures

What are implant dentures?
Implant dentures are dental prosthetics that attach to implants anchored in the jawbone, offering greater security, chewing ability, and comfort compared to traditional dentures.
What’s the difference between snap-in dentures and fixed dentures?
Snap-in dentures can be removed daily for cleaning, while fixed dentures stay permanently attached and can only be removed by a dentist. Fixed options feel more like natural teeth.
How much do implant dentures cost in Houston?
The cost varies depending on the number of implants, type of prosthesis, and materials used. We provide personalized treatment plans and discuss financing options during your consultation.
How long does it take to get implant dentures?
The full process — from implant placement to delivery of your final dentures — typically takes several months to allow proper healing and integration. Immediate options may be available in select cases.
Are implant dentures comfortable?
Yes. Once healed, implant dentures offer exceptional comfort, chewing ability, and security compared to conventional dentures
Do implant dentures prevent bone loss?
Yes. Because the implants stimulate your jawbone, they help prevent the bone shrinkage that occurs with traditional dentures.
How do I care for my implant dentures?
Snap-in dentures should be removed daily for cleaning. Fixed dentures require normal brushing, flossing (or using specialized tools like floss threaders or water flossers), and regular dental checkups.
