- Marietta, GA
If you wear traditional dentures, you already know the small daily indignities they can bring. The slipping, the adhesives, the foods you avoid, and the worry that your dentures may move at the wrong time can all become frustrating.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Implant supported dentures at Elevation Dental & Aesthetics in Marietta, GA anchor your denture securely to your jaw, helping replace that uncertainty with a more stable, comfortable bite you can rely on throughout the day.
For many people, the difference can be significant. Rather than resting on the gums and hoping to stay put, this kind of denture locks onto dental implants placed in the jawbone, giving it a foundation that does not budge. For patients throughout Marietta who have grown tired of having to work around their dentures, this solution can make daily life easier.
It is worth being honest about why conventional dentures leave so many people frustrated, because understanding the problem makes the solution clear. A standard denture rests directly on the gums and relies on suction and paste to stay in place. That arrangement is inherently unstable, and it tends to grow more so over time. This is where implant supported dentures can offer a more secure alternative.
The reason lies beneath the surface. When teeth are lost, the jawbone they were attached to slowly shrinks due to a lack of stimulation. As that bone recedes and flattens, the denture ridge rests on that bone. What was once an acceptable fit becomes loose and unreliable.
This is why so many denture wearers find themselves back at the dentist for relines and adjustments, chasing a comfortable fit that keeps slipping away. Traditional dentures also cover the roof of the mouth, which can dull the taste of food and feel bulky. None of this addresses the ongoing bone loss, which quietly continues year after year.
The key difference with implant supported dentures is the way the denture is anchored. Instead of balancing on shrinking gums, the denture connects to a small number of implants set firmly into the jaw. Those implants act like tooth roots, and they change everything about how the denture performs. It stays where you put it, it distributes your bite force through the jaw the way natural teeth do, and it helps preserve the very bone that traditional dentures allow to waste away.
The everyday benefits of implant supported dentures can be noticeable. You may be able to enjoy more of the foods you love without worrying about your dentures slipping. You can speak and laugh without constantly worrying that your dentures may shift. Many designs free up the roof of the mouth entirely, so your food tastes like it should again. Patients across Marietta describe the shift in the same way: it feels less like wearing dentures and more like having their teeth back.
One of the strengths of implant supported dentures is that they can be tailored to your preferences, and we generally guide patients toward one of two approaches during their consultation in Marietta.
The first is a removable option, sometimes called a snap-in denture. It clips securely onto the implants for stable, confident wear throughout the day, yet you can still take it out for easy cleaning at night. Many patients appreciate this blend of secure stability and simplicity. It also tends to require fewer implants, which can make it a more budget-conscious route to a dramatically better experience.
The second is a fixed option that remains in place and is removed only by your dentist during checkups. This design comes closest to the feel of natural teeth, since you simply brush and care for it in your mouth without ever taking it out. For patients who want the most seamless, tooth-like result and are ready for that investment, the fixed approach is often the ideal fit.
During your evaluation, we help you compare your implant supported dentures options honestly, helping you make the choice that reflects your goals, your comfort, and your budget.
Every successful implant supported dentures treatment begins with careful planning. We evaluate your gums, examine the health and volume of your jawbone using advanced imaging, and discuss what you hope to gain from treatment. This thorough groundwork allows us to formulate a specific plan for your mouth, which is a huge part of creating a result that is stable, comfortable, and built to last.
When the time comes to place the implants, we do everything we can to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during the procedure, and most patients find the process gentler than they expected. Then there is a healing period during which those implants fuse with your bone, giving your new denture a solid foundation. In some cases, we may provide a temporary solution, so you are never without a smile during this time.
Once the healing process is complete, we attach your custom implant supported dentures, which are made to look natural and fit your face perfectly. Our team in Marietta will keep you informed and at ease throughout the process, checking in at each step to eliminate any uncertainty.
We know that pursuing a treatment like this can stir up some nervousness, especially for patients who have struggled with their teeth for a long time.
