Stabilize Your Denture with Implant Support

Tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures? Hybrid dentures — also called implant-retained overdentures — provide a secure, natural-feeling alternative. They “snap” into place on dental implants, giving you greater confidence, better chewing power, and less irritation.

At The Gentle Dentist, we specialize in restoring smiles and improving lives through compassionate, faith-driven care. If you’re ready to upgrade your denture experience, you’re in the right place.

You’ll enjoy:

• A secure fit — no adhesives needed
• Greater chewing strength
• Clearer speech and confident smiling
• Less gum irritation
• Long-term jawbone preservation

Traditional dentures can:

• Rub or shift during eating or talking
• Require messy adhesives
• Cause sore spots or limit taste (especially upper plates)
• Accelerate bone loss in the jaw

Hybrid dentures solve these issues by securely attaching to implants — helping you eat, laugh, and speak with greater ease and comfort.

Every case is unique, but here’s a general timeline:

1. Evaluation & Imaging
   We use scans to assess bone volume and health in order to design your treatment.
2. Implant Placement
   Typically 2–4 implants are placed in your upper or lower jaw.
3. Denture Fabrication
   We craft a new denture that clips securely to the implants.
4. Attachment & Adjustments
   After healing, your denture is connected to the implants for a snug fit.

You can remove the denture at home for cleaning — but it stays firmly in place during meals and conversations.

• Are hybrid dentures permanent?
  Some are removable, while others are semi-permanent. We’ll help you choose what fits your lifestyle best.
• Do they feel like regular teeth?
  Much more than traditional dentures. Because they’re secured to implants, they feel more natural and stable.
• Can I convert my existing denture?
  Possibly! We’ll evaluate whether your current denture can be modified to fit onto implants or if a new one is needed.
• Will I need a lot of implants?
  Usually only 2 to 4 implants are needed per arch — far fewer than full fixed solutions like All-on-4.
