Implant-supported dentures in Summerlin, Las Vegas.
Conventional dentures slip, rub, and limit what you can eat. Implant-supported solutions add retention and support, from locator overdentures to fixed hybrid arches, so prostheses stay stable during daily life.

Options for added stability
Implant-retained overdentures use two or more implants with attachments to snap a removable denture into place. They dramatically improve retention compared to dentures that rest on gum tissue alone.
Fixed hybrid restorations on implants eliminate removable components entirely for patients who qualify. The right design depends on bone, bite, hygiene access, and your preferences.
Precision matters
Attachment wear, incorrect ridge relation, and poor occlusal design cause many implant-denture failures. Prosthodontic planning, not just implant placement, determines whether the result feels natural and lasts.
These restorations are one path within implant prosthodontics and may be part of full mouth rehabilitation.
Problems we commonly treat
- Loose or painful conventional dentures
- Gagging or inability to tolerate upper dentures
- Severe bone loss in the jaw
- Worn or broken denture attachments
What patients ask about this care.
Are implant-supported dentures removable?
Some designs are removable (overdentures) and snap onto implants. Others are fixed and only removed by the clinician. Both are discussed during planning.
How many implants are needed for an overdenture?
Many lower overdentures are stable with two implants; upper cases often require more. Your anatomy and goals determine the plan.
Can my existing denture be adapted?
Sometimes an existing denture can serve as a temporary during healing. The final prosthesis is typically new and designed for the implant positions.
