Implant-Supported Dentures

At Dr Dhargalkar’s Multispeciality Dental Clinic, we provide Implant-Supported Dentures, a modern, stable, and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures. These dentures are anchored securely to dental implants, giving you improved chewing strength, enhanced speech, and a natural smile—without the fear of slipping or discomfort.

Implant-supported dentures are ideal for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth and want a long-term, fixed or semi-fixed solution that restores confidence and oral function.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures use 2 to 6 dental implants per jaw to secure the denture in place.
Depending on your needs, the dentures may be:

  • Fixed (non-removable)

  • Removable (snap-on / locator dentures)

  • Hybrid dentures (implant-supported bridge)

Unlike traditional dentures, they provide excellent stability, improved bite force, and a more natural feel.

Why Choose Implant-Supported Dentures?

  • No slipping, loosening, or discomfort

  • Improved chewing and speaking ability

  • Better facial support & youthful appearance

  • Prevents bone loss in the jaw

  • Long-lasting and durable

  • Comfortable fit with natural aesthetics

Types of Implant-Supported Dentures

1. Overdentures (Snap-On Dentures)

A removable denture that securely snaps onto implants.
Ideal for: Patients wanting stability with easy removal.

2. Fixed Hybrid Dentures (All-on-4 / All-on-6)

A non-removable prosthesis attached permanently to implants.
Ideal for: Patients seeking a fixed, natural, full-arch replacement.

3. Bar-Retained Dentures

A metal bar connects the implants, and the denture clips onto it.
Ideal for: Enhanced stability and even force distribution.
