Frequently Asked Questions

Implant-Supported Dentures FAQ for Washington, DC Patients

What is the difference between implant-supported dentures and regular dentures?

Regular dentures rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesive for retention. Implant-supported dentures anchor to two to six dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, providing dramatically better stability, chewing power, and comfort. They also prevent the ongoing bone loss that conventional dentures cause.

Do implant-supported dentures need to be removed at night?

It depends on the type. Overdentures (snap-in) should be removed nightly for cleaning the denture and the attachment components. Bar-retained and screw-retained implant dentures are fixed and stay in place at all times — they are cleaned like natural teeth while in your mouth.

How long do implant-supported dentures last?

The implants themselves can last a lifetime with proper maintenance. The denture prosthesis typically lasts 10 to 15 years before needing replacement due to normal wear. Attachment components (clips, O-rings, locators) may need replacement every one to two years as they wear with daily use.

Can my current denture be converted to an implant-supported denture?

In many cases, yes. If your existing denture is in good condition, your periodontist can retrofit it to attach to newly placed implants by adding locator housings. This can be a cost-effective option, though a new denture designed specifically for implant support often provides superior fit and aesthetics.
