Implant Supported Dentures
Secure, Comfortable Implant-Supported Dentures at Espire Dental in Highlands Ranch, CO
At Espire Dental Highlands Ranch, we understand how life-changing it can be to restore your smile after tooth loss. Implant-supported dentures are a revolutionary solution that combines the stability of dental implants with the functionality and aesthetics of dentures. Whether you're tired of traditional dentures that slip or you're looking for a more permanent, comfortable solution, implant-supported dentures can give you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile freely again.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a modern alternative to traditional dentures. Unlike regular dentures that rest on your gums, these are anchored securely by dental implants placed in your jawbone. The implants provide a stable foundation, ensuring your dentures won’t shift or slip out of place, giving you greater comfort and confidence.
We offer two main types of implant-supported dentures:
- Removable Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures snap onto the implants and can be removed for cleaning, offering the security of implants with the convenience of removable dentures.
- Fixed Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are permanently secured to the implants and can only be removed by a dentist. They function just like natural teeth and provide a long-term solution for missing teeth.
Implant-supported dentures eliminate the need for loose-fitting dentures or adhesive creams. They offer improved stability, comfort, and appearance compared to traditional dentures.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures at Espire Dental Highlands Ranch
Choosing implant-supported dentures at Espire Dental Highlands Ranch offers numerous benefits that enhance both your quality of life and your oral health:
- Improved Stability: Implant-supported dentures stay securely in place, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently without fear of slippage.
- Comfortable Fit: With dental implants acting as anchors, these dentures feel more natural and comfortable compared to traditional dentures.
- Enhanced Chewing Function: You’ll be able to enjoy your favorite foods again without the worry of your dentures moving out of place.
- Prevention of Bone Loss: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures.
- Natural Appearance: Implant-supported dentures are custom-designed to look and function like natural teeth, enhancing the aesthetics of your smile.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last for many years, making them a durable, cost-effective option for tooth replacement.
Whether you’ve been using traditional dentures or need a complete set of teeth replaced, implant-supported dentures provide a long-term solution that looks and feels like your natural teeth.

How many implants are needed for implant-supported dentures?
The number of implants needed depends on the type of dentures. Typically, 4 to 6 implants are used for a full upper or lower set of dentures. We’ll discuss the best option for you during your consultation.
Are implant-supported dentures removable?
There are two types of implant-supported dentures: removable and fixed. Removable dentures can be snapped on and off the implants, while fixed dentures are permanent and can only be removed by a dentist.
How long do implant-supported dentures last?
With proper care and regular dental visits, implant-supported dentures can last 10 to 20 years or even longer. The implants themselves are a permanent solution, and the dentures may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear.
What is the recovery time after implant placement?
The implants generally take about 3 to 6 months to integrate fully with your jawbone. You’ll wear temporary dentures during this time, and we’ll monitor your progress to ensure a successful outcome.
How do I care for implant-supported dentures?
Caring for implant-supported dentures is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, and visit us for regular checkups to ensure the implants and dentures stay in excellent condition.
Am I a good candidate for implant-supported dentures?
If you’ve experienced tooth loss and have adequate bone structure to support dental implants, you may be a good candidate for implant-supported dentures. During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan.

Everyone there was extremely nice. The Dentist and his assistant made me feel really comfortable. My over all experience was great best I've ever had in my life a Dentist office and I'm 60 years old.
