Treatment options such as implant-retained dentures may be discussed for individuals missing all of the teeth in their dental arch.
What is an implant-retained denture or full-arch dental implant, and how does it work?
Dr. Cutler describes implant-retained dentures as a type of dental prosthetic that combines the stability and durability of implants with the convenience and natural appearance of traditional dentures. It involves placing about four to six titanium implants into the jawbone, which serve as secure anchors for a custom-made denture to attach onto. The result is a comfortable, stable, and fully functional set of teeth that look natural and give patients the confidence they need and deserve!
Who is a good candidate for implant-retained dentures?
The best candidates for dentures held by dental implants (all-on-four implants) are those with sufficient bone in the jaw. This is because dental implants will stimulate bone growth when placed, which is what keeps the implants firmly in the smile. Our team will take a series of x-rays to check jaw health and available bone to determine if a patient is a good fit for this type of restorative appliance to replace missing teeth and restore function.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
