Question 1

What are implant dentures?

Accepted Answer

Implant dentures are an enhanced version of traditional or conventional dentures. They fit onto permanent dental implants that are surgically placed in your jaw so your smile fits securely and you can eat with confidence. Implant dentures go by many names, such as: snap-in denture, snap-on denture, hybrid denture, denture implant, overdenture, implant-supported denture. Regardless of which name they go by, removable dentures that secure onto implants provide stability and comfort by being secured into place, eliminating any need for adhesives.

Question 2

How long do implant dentures last?

Accepted Answer

How long implant dentures last depends on which part of your smile—the implants or the denture—you’re referring to. Implant dentures are comprised of 2–4 implants per arch (an arch refers to a row of teeth, so you have two arches in your mouth) and 1 denture that sits atop those implants. Implant: With proper care, your dental implants can last 25+ years. Denture: On average, dentures last about 10 years with proper care³. To get the most out of your smile, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends having your denture professionally assessed by your dentist every 5 to 7 years.

Question 3

Do implant dentures look real?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can look real. In fact, with Aspen Dental, your implant denture is customizable with: a precise impression for your most comfortable fit, 27 tooth shades for a smile that looks natural and 4 gum shades to blend in with your gums.

Question 4

What’s the difference between dentures and implant dentures?

Accepted Answer

Dentures rest atop your gums and need to be secured into place using adhesives, which can make eating a wide range of healthy foods difficult. Implant dentures snap onto implants in your mouth, making them more secure and easier to use for eating without adhesives. While the dentures are removable for easy cleaning, the implants are permanent.

Question 5

Do implant dentures snap-in?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Implant dentures “snap-in” when you place the denture overtop of your implants and press them into place. Also known as snap-in dentures or implant-supported dentures, they fit on top of permanent dental implants that are surgically placed in your jaw so your smile is both removable and secure—making eating and cleaning easier than ever.

Question 6

What is the success rate of implant dentures?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to implant dentures, the success rate refers to the implants being placed in your jaw and how successfully they fuse with your jawbone. With this in mind, implant dentures have a high rate of success at 98%⁴, which makes them more stable and durable than traditional dentures.

Question 7

Is it easier to eat with implant dentures?

Accepted Answer

In comparison to traditional or conventional dentures, yes. Because your denture will be secured into place with permanent implants, chewing is easier. Implant dentures have 3x the bite force of traditional dentures, which is why you can eat more of the foods you love without the need for adhesives.

Question 8

Will the implant denture process be painful?

Accepted Answer

It’s normal for patients to feel some discomfort and pain along their implant denture journey—specifically for a day or two after the implants are placed in your jaw, or if you need extractions. At Aspen Dental, we do everything we can to keep you comfortable during the process, so you can get back to enjoying life your way as soon as possible.
