So many times we’re going to recommend dental implants with dentures. Many times the patient has lost bone and does not have enough support for dentures. Some patients can wear dentures without dental implants but many times we find that the patient is not able to eat and chew as well as they once were and so with dental implants they’re able to anchor the dentures in and then they can really get back to eating.
Some of the biggest thing we always hear is can I eat a steak again and if you get dental implants and get everything supported properly then you can. An implant supported denture is really going to help their function, help them to be able to eat what they want. It’s going to actually maintain their bone as well.
With a traditional denture you’re going to lose bone more and more over time and then therefore you’re going to have more and more trouble eating. With an implant supported denture you’re going to maintain the bone, you’re going to be able to eat more. You’re not going to ever get back to 100% of your function but instead of when you go from your traditional teeth to dentures you go to about 30 or 40 percent function and with with dental implants you can get back up to about as high as 90 or 95 percent.

You’ll Love How Your New Dentures Look & Feel
Dentures go back thousands of years. However, modern dentures are light-years ahead of their ancient counterpart. They’ll appear like a natural part of your smile. You can eat more of the foods you love, too, especially when pairing your dentures with implants.
Our approach to denture care is tailored to your unique circumstances and desires. We offer a range of options, which may include:
- Full-Arch Dentures – These dentures can replace an entire arch of teeth in your lower or upper jaw. Your dentures are designed for comfort and easy daily care.
- Partial Dentures – If you have some healthy natural teeth, partial dentures can fill in the gaps. They blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
- Implant Dentures – Your dentist will work with a specialist, who will place dental implants. Then, you’ll return here for your custom dentures.
- Temporary Dentures – While we craft your dentures, you’ll receive a temporary set of replacement teeth. This ensures you can smile confidently throughout the entire process.
Dr. Phillips and his team are committed to finding the ideal dentures solution for you. We’ll guide you through each option, considering your oral health, lifestyle, and preferences to help you make an informed decision. If you have avoided replacing missing teeth due to anxiety, we have sedation available. It will take the edge off your nerves, so you can restore your smile in comfort.

If you are missing all or nearly all your teeth, dentures are a fantastic way to get back your smile and your bite. Depending on your individual situation, you may want either full or partial dentures. Full dentures replace a complete arch of teeth on one or both of your jaws, while partials are used when you have some healthy teeth remaining.
Thanks to advances in dental technology, you can enjoy nearly any food you desire without dietary limitations. While conventional dentures may require you to alter your eating habits, implant-supported dentures provide a more natural biting function. With this option, you can eat a wide variety of crunchy or chewy foods, since implant-supported dentures offer a bite strength comparable to having a full set of natural teeth.
It is possible to reline dentures that have become worn and that feel loose or are prone to falling out. Modern dentures are made of acrylic resin, which is durable but also fixable. It’s a good idea to check your dentures regularly for signs of wear and tear. Bring them into our office, and we can take care of them for you.
