Restore Stability and Confidence
Are you tired of your dentures slipping and sliding around? Not to mention the hassle of dealing with all the adhesive needed to keep your dentures in place. With implant supported dentures, you’ll be free from these frustrating issues and get your teeth (and your confidence) back.
At Bliss Dental & Orthodontics in Lubbock, TX, we offer implant-supported dentures for patients who want a reliable, modern solution to complete tooth loss. During your visit, we will evaluate your oral health, review imaging, and recommend the option that best supports your needs and lifestyle.
Why Patients Choose Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures will keep your smile in place and make eating and speaking as simple as with natural teeth. More than that, though, this advanced treatment option can help you experience less bone deterioration in your jaw.
Common reasons individuals choose this treatment include:
- Improved stability while chewing and speaking
- Looks and feels more natural than traditional dentures
- Reduced slipping, rubbing, or denture sores
- Support for jawbone health, slowing bone loss
- Improves your confidence in social and professional situations
Whether you need to replace a full arch or want to stabilize an existing denture, implant support can make everyday life easier and more enjoyable.
How Implant-Supported Dentures Work
Implant-supported dentures use strategically placed implants to hold your denture securely. The procedure typically follows these steps:
Evaluation & Treatment Planning
Your dentist will assess your bone levels, gum health, and treatment goals. Advanced imaging determines how many implants are needed and where they should be placed.
Implant Placement
The implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. They act as replacement roots and gradually fuse with the bone over the next few months.
Denture Attachment
Once the implants have integrated, your custom denture is connected. Depending on your needs, the denture may “snap” onto the implants or remain fixed in place.
This system provides a strong, supportive foundation that mimics the feel and function of natural teeth.
Types of Implants We Offer
At Bliss Dental & Orthodontics, we offer two different types of implant supported dentures:
- Bar-Retained Dentures: Bar-retained denture technology includes a custom-made bar that fits across your jaw and attaches to the implants. They simply clip on to your jaw for a comfortable and secure fit.
- Ball-Retained Dentures: Ball-retained dentures are the most stable option. This ball and socket technology allows for highly effective oral functioning. Simply snap your denture into the implant and you’ll never have to settle for uncomfortable dentures again!
