Implant-Retained Dentures: Security and Comfort for Full-Arch Tooth Replacement

If you’re struggling with the discomfort and insecurity of traditional dentures or have experienced significant tooth loss, implant-retained dentures offer a secure, long-lasting alternative that can bring back your confidence and quality of life. At Bixby Dental Studio in Long Beach, Drs. Jose and Sara specialize in minimally invasive implant solutions that feel natural, fit precisely, and restore stability without the frustration of slipping, clicking, or adhesive use. 

With personalized treatment plans and a bilingual approach to care, our team ensures that both English and Spanish-speaking patients feel fully understood and supported through every step of their dental journey.

What Are Implant-Retained Dentures?

Implant-retained dentures, also called overdentures, are full-arch tooth replacement options that attach securely to dental implants placed in the jawbone. 

Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives, this solution is anchored by titanium posts for enhanced stability, function, and comfort. Some key benefits of implant-retained dentures include:

• Improved Security: No more slipping or shifting during meals or conversations.
• Preserved Bone: Implants stimulate jawbone tissue, helping prevent bone loss after tooth extraction.
• Enhanced Comfort: A custom fit that feels more like natural teeth, without sore spots.
• Increased Bite Strength: Eat more of the foods you love with better chewing power.

At Bixby Dental Studio, our doctors use high-resolution imaging and digital planning tools to determine the ideal placement of implants for optimal support and long-term results.

Why Choose Implant-Retained Dentures Over Traditional Options?

Traditional dentures can be functional, but they come with limitations that affect comfort and confidence. By contrast, implant-retained dentures offer an elevated standard of care with reduced maintenance needs and a more natural experience. Here’s how they compare:

• Stability: Anchored to implants, they stay firmly in place unlike conventional dentures that often shift or fall out.
• Comfort: Designed to avoid pressure points, allowing you to speak and eat with ease.
• Longevity: With proper care, implants can last decades, far exceeding traditional prosthetics.
• Aesthetics: Beautifully crafted to replicate the look and feel of natural teeth.

Dr. Jose and Dr. Sara tailor each full-arch treatment to the individual, ensuring both comfort and long-term functionality. Their patient-first philosophy puts your peace of mind at the forefront, never rushing into treatment or recommending unnecessary procedures.
