A Modern Solution for a Secure, Comfortable Smile
While traditional dentures rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives, implant dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This connection makes them significantly more stable and comfortable—offering a major upgrade in function and quality of life.
Dr. Heeyup Ghim designs implant-supported dentures with precision, using digital tools and planning software to ensure a secure fit and natural appearance. Whether you’re transitioning from removable dentures or starting fresh, we’ll help you choose the right solution.
Types of Implant Dentures We Offer
Implant-Supported Dentures
These are fixed or removable dentures secured by multiple dental implants, typically 2–6 per arch.
- Restores full arch of missing teeth
- Stronger bite force than traditional dentures
- Feels and functions like natural teeth
- Eliminates need for denture adhesives
- Available in fixed (non-removable) and removable formats
These are ideal for patients who want a more permanent solution to traditional full dentures.
Implant Overdentures
Implant overdentures are removable dentures that snap onto 2–4 dental implants for improved retention.
- Easier to remove and clean
- More affordable than fully fixed options
- Great for patients wanting added stability without full implant restoration
- Helps preserve bone and facial structure
Overdentures are a great middle-ground option for patients who are frustrated with loose-fitting dentures but not ready for full fixed implant bridges.
Benefits of Implant Dentures
- No slipping or clicking when talking or eating
- Improved chewing ability, allowing a more varied diet
- More natural speech and confidence
- Bone preservation—stimulates jawbone to prevent shrinkage
- Longer-lasting solution than traditional dentures
- No adhesives or pastes required
If you've struggled with loose or uncomfortable dentures, implant-supported options can dramatically improve your quality of life.
The Implant Denture Process
- Consultation & 3D Imaging
We assess your current dentures, bone health, and goals using advanced imaging technology to plan implant placement.
- Implant Placement
Titanium implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. Healing time may range from a few weeks to several months, depending on your case.
- Denture Attachment
Once healed, your custom dentures are securely attached to the implants. In many cases, we can retrofit an existing denture or fabricate a new one using our digital design tools.
- Ongoing Support
We monitor your implants and dentures during regular exams to ensure lasting function and fit.
We’ll discuss your timeline and whether you’re a candidate for same-day or staged treatment during your consultation.
