Implant-Supported Dentures in Washington, DC

Dentures That Stay Put

Implant-supported dentures combine dental implants with a custom prosthesis for stability that traditional dentures can't match. Whether snap-on or screw-retained, they reduce movement, improve chewing power, and help preserve jawbone.

The Implant-Supported Denture Process

Consultation & Imaging

Comprehensive exam, 3D scans, and medical review plan implant number and position.

Implant Placement

2–6 implants per arch placed by a trusted surgical specialist.

Healing

Osseointegration fuses implants with bone over several months.

Abutments & Scans

Connectors attached and digital impressions guide lab fabrication.

Try-In & Delivery

Denture tested for fit, bite, and aesthetics, then secured to implants.

Maintenance

Regular cleanings and attachment checks protect your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant-Supported Dentures

Removable vs. Fixed?

Removable overdentures snap on/off for cleaning. Fixed dentures are screw-retained and only removed at the office.

How Many Implants?

Lower overdentures often use 2–4 implants; fixed full-arch dentures typically use 4–6 per arch.

Healing Time?

Osseointegration takes several months. Some cases allow immediate temporary attachment.

Will I Need Grafting?

If bone volume is insufficient, grafting or sinus augmentation may be recommended first.

How Long Do They Last?

Implants can last many years. Denture teeth and attachments may need periodic maintenance.
