Denture Retention
Naperville Periodontics
Enjoy a More Secure, Confident Smile
Loose dentures can make eating, speaking, and smiling frustrating. Denture retention uses dental implants to stabilize or secure a denture, creating a more comfortable, confident fit. Whether you need a removable implant-retained denture or a fixed full-arch restoration, treatment is customized to fit your needs and lifestyle.
What Is Denture Retention?
Denture retention is the process of using dental implants to securely support a denture. You may also hear this treatment called implant-supported dentures, implant-retained dentures, fixed dentures, or All-on-X. By anchoring your denture to dental implants, you can enjoy greater stability and function than with traditional dentures alone.
Benefits of Denture Retention
Implant-retained dentures offer many advantages, including:
- Greater confidence while eating, speaking, and smiling
- Reduced or eliminated need for denture adhesives
- Improved biting strength and chewing ability
- A more secure, comfortable fit
- A natural-looking smile designed for long-term success
What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we evaluate your oral health and create a personalized surgical plan. The number of implants needed depends on your individual case. Removable dentures are often supported by two to four implants, while fixed dentures typically require four to six implants per arch.
Some patients may receive a temporary denture on the day of surgery, while others will wear a temporary restoration during the healing period before their final denture is placed.
Why Choose a Periodontist?
Successful implant-retained dentures depend on healthy bone and gum tissue. As periodontal specialists, we focus on the supporting structures that help dental implants remain healthy and stable for years to come. Our goal is not only to provide a secure denture today but to help ensure it continues to function comfortably for the long term.
Is Denture Retention Right for You?
Most patients who wear dentures can be evaluated for implant-supported retention. If you’re tired of loose dentures, difficulty chewing, or relying on adhesives every day, denture retention may be the solution you’ve been looking for.
