If you hate dealing with messy denture adhesives, sore gums, or teeth that shift when you talk or eat, implant-supported dentures offer a night-and-day difference. By snapping or anchoring your denture onto a few sturdy dental implants, we can give you a secure, comfortable smile that stays put all day.
Types of implant-supported dentures
Whether you are looking for an affordable upgrade from loose conventional dentures or desire the ultimate permanent full-arch teeth, Sunrise Dental Everett offers three advanced implant-supported denture solutions tailored to your comfort, lifestyle, and bite goals:
Implant-retained snap-on dentures
Removable snap-on dentures (also called locator-retained overdentures) provide an ideal blend of dependable stability and everyday convenience. Typically anchored by two to four strategically placed dental implants, the denture features precision snap attachments underneath that click firmly onto the implant abutment posts. This eliminates the embarrassing sliding, wobbling, and painful gum chafing caused by loose conventional dentures.
Unlike traditional dentures that require sticky, messy adhesive pastes, snap-on dentures stay securely locked in place throughout meals, laughter, and conversations. Because you can easily un-snap the prosthetic at bedtime, cleaning your teeth and brushing around the implant posts is effortless and hygienic. Snap-on dentures also deliver direct chewing stimulation into your jawbone, helping halt progressive bone resorption.
At Sunrise Dental Everett, our experienced doctors—Dr. Haider Kalhan, Dr. Gary Chin, and Dr. Cuong Luu—collaborate with master dental laboratory technicians to craft custom snap-on overdentures or retrofit eligible existing dentures for optimal bite balance and a radiant, natural look. For anxious patients, we provide gentle sedation dentistry options including IV sedation at our office, serving our local community.
Bar-retained implant-supported dentures
Bar-retained implant dentures offer exceptional, rigid stability by connecting three to five dental implants with a custom-milled titanium or cobalt-chromium framework bar that follows your natural jawline curvature. The overdenture fits precisely over the metal bar and locks securely into place using precision internal clips or locators built right into the denture base.
Unlike individual locator snaps which allow slight micro-movement, the rigid splinting of the bar distributes chewing forces evenly across all supporting implants. This makes bar-retained dentures an outstanding choice for patients with significant jawbone atrophy or individuals requiring enhanced support on the upper arch without needing an extensive, palate-covering plastic plate.
Patients enjoy significantly increased biting strength, stable chewing efficiency, and superior retention without wobbling. The denture remains comfortably removable at home for simple daily hygiene and flossing under the bar. Every bar and overdenture is custom-engineered using high-precision digital impressions and fabricated with micro-millimeter accuracy in partnership with master dental laboratory technicians, ensuring unmatched fit and long-term durability.
Fixed screw-retained implant-supported dentures
Fixed screw-retained dentures (commonly known as hybrid implant bridges or All-on-X dental implants) are the premier non-removable solution for total tooth replacement. Anchored by four, five, or six dental implants, this restoration is permanently screwed into place and can only be removed by your dentist during routine maintenance visits. It looks, feels, and functions just like natural, permanent teeth.
Fixed implant dentures eliminate the plastic palate covering the roof of your mouth on upper arches, allowing you to fully enjoy the natural taste, texture, and temperature of food. With up to 95% of natural biting force restored, you can eat steaks, apples, nuts, and raw vegetables without hesitation. Milled from durable monolithic zirconia or high-strength ceramic, fixed hybrid bridges resist chipping, staining, and wear over decades.
Through our Teeth-In-A-Day protocol, patients can have remaining failing teeth gently extracted and receive a fixed, functional provisional bridge on the very same day. Computer-guided planning via 3D CBCT digital imaging ensures micro-millimeter precision. Discover our real smile transformations in our smile gallery and schedule your consultation today.
