Implant-Supported Dentures in Calgary

If you need to replace an entire arch of teeth, our skilled dentists may recommend implant-supported dentures. This treatment provides a natural, stable result without the cost of placing an implant for every missing tooth.

Implant-supported dentures are similar in form to traditional dentures but are anchored by dental implants. Many denture wearers experience looseness or “floating” dentures, which can make eating and speaking difficult. Implant dentures provide a stable, cost-effective solution, and in some cases, we can even retrofit an existing denture with implants.

The process begins with placing the dental implants – small, screw-like posts surgically inserted into the jawbone to securely anchor your denture. The number of implants required varies by patient, but most full-arch cases use four to six implants. After a healing period, the denture is attached to the implants, providing exceptional stability. Many patients report that implant-supported dentures feel and function almost like natural teeth, restoring confidence in both appearance and function.
