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

01

Consultation & Imaging

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

02

Implant Placement

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

03

Healing

Osseointegration fuses implants with bone over several months.

04

Abutments & Scans

Connectors attached and digital impressions guide lab fabrication.

05

Try-In & Delivery

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

06

Maintenance

Regular cleanings and attachment checks protect your investment.
