Implant Supported Dentures in Memorial, Houston

If you're tired of loose, uncomfortable traditional dentures, implant supported dentures offer a permanent and stable alternative. At Houston Prosthodontic Specialists, we help patients in Memorial, Houston regain their confidence and function with dentures that stay securely in place using dental implants.

Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums, implant supported dentures are anchored to titanium implants placed in the jawbone. This not only prevents slipping and clicking but also stimulates bone health and preserves your facial structure.

These dentures are ideal for patients with significant tooth loss in the upper or lower arch who want greater comfort, better chewing power, and long-lasting results.

• Improved chewing function compared to removable dentures
  
  
• Greater speech clarity and facial support
  
  
• No need for messy adhesives
  
  
• Preserves bone and gum health
  
  
• Long-term durability with proper care
  
  
• Aesthetic, natural-looking smile restoration

This solution is especially valuable for patients seeking more security than removable dentures, without committing to a full set of individual implants.

We offer both fixed and removable (snap-in) implant supported dentures, depending on your oral health and lifestyle needs.

Fixed Implant Dentures

These are permanently attached and can only be removed by your dentist. They feel and function like natural teeth, offering unmatched stability.

Removable Overdentures

These dentures “snap” onto implants and can be removed for cleaning. They offer excellent retention and are ideal for patients who want an easier hygiene routine.

Mini Implants for Dentures

For patients with lower bone density or those looking for a less invasive option, mini implants may be used to support overdentures.

Who Is a Candidate?

Most healthy adults with missing teeth in the upper or lower arch can benefit from implant supported dentures. If you’ve worn conventional dentures for years and are experiencing discomfort, sore spots, or slippage, this option can significantly enhance your quality of life.

Bone loss is not always a barrier—many patients are eligible even if they've experienced some resorption. We'll assess your needs and may suggest bone grafting or computer-guided implants for precise placement.
