What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
A steadier way to replace missing teeth.
Implant-supported dentures are dentures that attach to dental implants for added support. Traditional dentures rest on gum tissue. Implant-supported dentures connect to dental implants placed in the jaw, so your dentures can feel more stable when you eat, speak, and smile.
At NorthStar Dentistry for Adults, we use implant-supported dentures to replace missing teeth when patients want more confidence than removable dentures may provide. Your dentist may recommend full dentures, partial dentures, immediate dentures, complete dentures, or another option based on your oral health, remaining teeth, natural teeth, dental care needs, and goals.
Modern dentures, partial dentures, and complete dentures can all play a role in dental care. Your Huntersville dentist will explain dentures, dental implants, and how each choice protects teeth.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
How treatment supports daily life.
A More Secure Fit
Implant-supported dentures can reduce slipping. Because dental implants help anchor the dentures, you may feel more comfortable chewing, speaking, and laughing. A proper fit also helps protect gum tissue, oral tissues, and overall oral health.
Better Chewing Support
Missing teeth can make meals stressful. Implant-supported dentures give artificial teeth stronger support than many traditional dentures. This helps patients enjoy more foods while supporting oral health, dental care, and daily function.
A Natural-looking Smile
Modern dentures are made to look like natural teeth, and modern dentures can hold artificial teeth in a balanced position. We shape dentures to match your face, bite, and smile goals. The artificial teeth can blend with remaining natural teeth when healthy teeth remain.
Protection for Your Mouth
Tooth loss can affect adjacent teeth, remaining teeth, and oral health. Implant-supported dentures help replace missing teeth across an upper or lower arch. With proper care, dental implants and dentures can support long-term success. Proper care also helps protect teeth after tooth loss.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Signs this treatment may fit your needs.
You may be a good candidate for implant-supported dentures if you have several missing teeth, loose dentures, or ongoing tooth loss. Dr. Bunn can help you compare denture options and make informed decisions.
You may benefit from implant-supported dentures if you:
Your dentist will check your oral health, gum tissue, oral tissues, natural teeth, remaining teeth, and bone support before recommending implant placement. If natural teeth remain, we look at how those teeth affect your bite and the finished denture design. Some patients need tooth extractions before dentures. Others may need immediate dentures while the mouth heals.
Implant-supported dentures may not be the best solution for every patient. That is why Dr. Bunn reviews your medical history, dental checkup, goals, dental insurance, and insurance plans before care begins.
We want your dental care to feel clear, calm, and planned around you. This treatment plan helps patients choose dentures with less guesswork.

The Process Of Getting Dentures
What to expect at each visit.
Personal Consultation
Dr. Bunn starts with a dental checkup, digital imaging, and a conversation about your needs. We review missing teeth, remaining teeth, natural teeth, oral hygiene, and treatment options. A staff member or one of our dental assistants can answer questions about dental insurance.
Implant Planning and Care
If implant surgery is right for you, Dr. Bunn plans implant placement with careful planning and CBCT imaging. Some patients need teeth extracted first. We may discuss immediate dentures, new dentures, temporary dentures, or several weeks of healing before the final fitting. New dentures may be adjusted as oral tissues heal.
Final Fitting and Follow-up
Once healing is done, we create your final denture for a proper fit. The final fitting helps us make necessary adjustments. We monitor healing, check your bite, and show you how to clean dentures without regular toothpaste.

FAQs About Implant-supported Dentures
Answers to common patient questions.
-
Can I get implant-supported dentures the same day?
Some patients can receive immediate dentures the same day teeth are removed. These immediate dentures help you avoid going without teeth while allowing patients to smile during healing. Implant-supported dentures usually need healing before your finished denture. Dr. Bunn will explain if a few days or more time is needed.
-
Are implant-supported dentures better than traditional dentures?
Implant-supported dentures often feel more stable than traditional dentures. They can reduce movement in the lower arch and improve chewing support. Traditional dentures may still work well for patients who cannot have dental implants. Your dentist can compare dentures, artificial teeth, and teeth needs with you.
-
Will partial dentures protect my remaining teeth?
Partial dentures can fill spaces when several teeth are missing. A metal framework may hold partial dentures around remaining teeth, and a metal framework can help the dentures stay steady. If natural teeth stay healthy, partial dentures can restore function without removing those teeth.
-
Do implant-supported dentures need special cleaning?
Yes. You still need daily oral hygiene. Clean your dentures as directed, brush your gums, and avoid regular toothpaste unless your dentist says it is safe. Routine dental checkups help protect teeth, dentures, oral health, and overall health.
-
Can I still ask about other dental services?
Yes. We can discuss dental services such as teeth whitening, wisdom teeth concerns, partial dentures, complete dentures, and dental care for natural teeth. Our dental providers help patients in Huntersville, NC, choose care with a dentist who listens.
