A Better Alternative to Dentures
The Impact of Full Mouth Dental Implants
With many failing or missing teeth, it can be difficult to live a fully functional and confident life. Daily activities such as eating and talking are painful and embarrassing, and it may be difficult to maintain your health. For years, your only solution for missing teeth was removable dentures, but with dental implants, you can now experience a permanent return to optimal health and confidence with a stable, attractive smile.
We provide dentures, implant supported dentures, and fixed full mouth dental implants at Riverdale Dental and encourage you to learn more about each of these options. We invite you to then schedule a consultation with our dentists at one of our multiple dental practice locations in Florida!
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a tooth replacement option that combines the stability of dental implants with the appearance and function of a custom denture. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest directly on the gums and may move or slip during everyday activities, implant-supported dentures are anchored to implant posts placed in the jawbone. This provides enhanced stability and can make eating, speaking, and smiling more comfortable.
At Riverdale Dental, implant-supported dentures may be recommended for patients who are missing several teeth or all of their natural teeth. Depending on individual needs, patients may receive removable implant-supported dentures, fixed implant-supported dentures, or an implant-supported partial denture. Implant-supported overdentures are removable restorations that attach securely to dental implants, while fixed dentures remain permanently attached to the implant posts.
Dental implants are typically made from titanium and are surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, the implants bond with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration. This provides a stable foundation for the final denture and can help preserve jawbone structure.

What are the Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures offer several advantages compared with traditional removable dentures. Because the denture is secured to dental implants, patients can experience improved stability and chewing efficiency while enjoying a more natural-looking smile.
Benefits of implant-supported dentures include:
- Improved stability compared with traditional dentures
- Reduced concerns about dentures slipping or shifting
- A more natural appearance and comfortable fit
- Improved chewing efficiency
- Support for speech and everyday oral function
- Bone preservation and reduced bone resorption
- A secure solution for patients with missing teeth
- Improved confidence when eating and smiling
- Custom-made dentures designed around individual needs
- Potentially improved patient satisfaction
- Support for long-term oral health
- A natural-looking solution for edentulous patients
The number of implants needed depends on several factors, including jawbone density, the number of missing teeth, the type of denture selected, and the patient’s treatment goals.
Comparing Fixed Teeth Vs. Removable
In general, you have two options for replacing your teeth: fixed and removable. You’re aware of dentures, which are the bottom tier of tooth replacement. These artificial teeth are set on an acrylic base that fits over your gums. They return only 20% of natural function and will eventually become loose and ill-fitting as your jaw changes shape.
A functional upgrade, implant supported dentures at Riverdale Dental are stabilized by two or more dental implants to restore 60% of dental function. They still consist of a removable acrylic denture and may crack or fracture over time.
Full mouth dental implants consist of a fixed prosthetic bridge of teeth permanently supported by 4-8 dental implants. This solution restores over 98% of natural function with teeth precision-crafted to look, feel, and function like the real thing. You can eat without limitations, enhance your quality of life, and talk, laugh, and smile confidently! We encourage you to consider all your options, then schedule a consultation to receive an evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures Like?
The implant-supported denture process begins with an initial consultation at Riverdale Dental. The dentist evaluates your oral health, gums, jawbone, remaining teeth, and medical history. Dental imaging may be used to determine whether there is enough bone to support implant placement and to develop a personalized treatment plan.
If additional procedures are necessary, bone grafting may be recommended to encourage sufficient bone growth before dental implant placement. Once the jaw is ready, the dental implants are placed during a surgical procedure. A healing period follows, allowing the implants to integrate with the jawbone through osseointegration.
Temporary dentures may be used during the healing period when appropriate. Once the implants have healed, the dentist attaches the final custom denture to the implant posts. Depending on the treatment plan, the restoration may be removable or securely attached as a fixed implant-supported denture.
Recovery From Implant-Supported Dentures
Recovery from dental implant surgery varies depending on the number of implants placed and whether additional procedures, such as bone grafting, are required. Patients may experience temporary swelling, tenderness, or discomfort around the surgical site while the soft tissue heals.
Following proper care instructions is important for successful healing. Patients should maintain good oral hygiene and follow recommendations regarding brushing, eating, and cleaning around the implants. A soft-bristled toothbrush, interproximal brushes, floss threaders, or other special cleaning tools may be recommended to keep the implants and denture clean.
As the implants heal, patients gradually become accustomed to their new restoration. Regular dental visits allow the dentist to monitor healing, evaluate implant stability, and ensure the denture continues to fit properly.

Candidates for Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures may be appropriate for many patients who have experienced significant tooth loss. A consultation is necessary to determine whether implants are appropriate based on your oral health, jawbone density, medical history, and personal preferences.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have several missing teeth or complete tooth loss
- Are dissatisfied with traditional removable dentures
- Experience dentures slipping while eating or speaking
- Have sufficient jawbone to support dental implants
- Are willing to maintain good oral hygiene and proper care
- Want a more stable alternative to traditional dentures
- Want to improve chewing efficiency
- Desire a more natural appearance
- Are interested in fixed or removable implant-supported options
Patients who do not have enough bone for implant placement may still be candidates following bone grafting or other additional procedures.
