IMPLANT DENTURES IN CALGARY

If you are missing several teeth or a full arch of teeth, implant dentures can provide a stable, natural-looking, and long-term tooth replacement option. Unlike traditional removable dentures that rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants for added security, comfort, and chewing support.

What Are Implant Dentures?

Implant dentures are dental prosthetics supported by titanium implants placed in the jawbone. These implants act like artificial tooth roots and provide a secure foundation for replacement teeth.


Unlike conventional dentures that rely on suction or adhesive, implant-supported dentures connect to the implants for improved stability. This can help make eating, speaking, and smiling feel more comfortable while also supporting jawbone health.

Types of Implant Dentures

When considering implant dentures, the right option depends on your oral health, bone support, lifestyle preferences, and whether you prefer a removable or fixed treatment.

Implant-retained Dentures (Overdentures)

Implant-retained dentures, also called overdentures, snap onto dental implants for improved hold while still being removable for daily cleaning. They are a good option for patients who want better stability than traditional dentures without choosing a fully fixed treatment.

Implant Supported Dentures

Implant supported dentures rely more directly on dental implants for support instead of resting mainly on the gums. This option can provide stronger chewing function, improved comfort, and a more secure fit for patients looking for a long-term denture treatment.

Benefits of Implant Dentures

Implant dentures can provide improved stability, stronger chewing support, and better comfort compared with traditional removable dentures. Because they attach to dental implants, they may help reduce slipping, support clearer speech, and make eating, smiling, and social interactions feel more secure.


Implant retained dentures, also called overdentures, offer a removable option with added support from implants. Implant supported dentures provide even greater stability by using implants as the main foundation, helping improve bite strength, jaw support, and long-term denture function.
