You're not alone if you’ve struggled with traditional dentures that slip, click, or feel uncomfortable. Many denture wearers find themselves frustrated by the limitations of removable dentures.

Our team at Espire Dental Encinitas provides advanced implant dentures that give you the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again. Whether wearing dentures while grabbing a bite at The Forum Carlsbad or enjoying a walk through the San Diego Botanic Garden, implanted dentures make your day-to-day easy and your smile beautiful.
If you’re tired of the inconvenience of traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures could be the right option for you. This solution is ideal for individuals who:
During your consultation at Espire Dental Encinitas, we’ll carefully evaluate your oral health and determine whether you’re a suitable candidate for this treatment. We’ll also discuss your medical history and any health concerns to ensure the procedure is safe and effective for you. If you’ve experienced bone loss in the jaw, bone grafting may be an option to help rebuild the area before placing the implants.
Implant-supported dentures combine the same coverage of traditional dentures with the stability of dental implants. Instead of resting on your gums and relying on adhesives, these dentures are secured with dental implants surgically placed into your jawbone. This provides a strong, fixed foundation for your dentures, preventing the slipping and shifting many patients experience with traditional removable dentures. The procedure results in a strong set of teeth that look and feel natural and are stable and comfortable for daily wear.
Implant-supported dentures offer a range of benefits over traditional dentures. Here’s why so many patients choose this advanced solution:
Implant-supported dentures are anchored by dental implants, making them more secure and comfortable than traditional dentures. They eliminate the need for adhesives and provide a more natural feel.
With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last many years, and the implants can last a lifetime. Routine dental visits and good oral hygiene are essential for maintaining their longevity.
Yes! One of the most significant advantages of implant-supported dentures is the ability to eat a wider variety of foods. The stability provided by the implants allows you to chew comfortably without worrying about your dentures shifting.
The entire process, including implant placement and healing time, can take several months. The timeline varies depending on each patient’s individual situation, and we’ll provide you with a precise treatment plan during your consultation.
Caring for implant-supported dentures is simple. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing around the implants, and continue with regular dental checkups to ensure everything remains in good condition.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the implant placement procedure, and we provide local anesthesia or sedation options to ensure your comfort. Any post-procedure discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
