The difference is night and day — and most patients say they wish they’d made the switch years sooner.
Slip and move when eating or speaking
Require messy adhesive creams
Must be removed at night
Only 25% of natural chewing power
Jawbone continues to shrink beneath them
Need to be relined or replaced every 5–7 years
Restrict diet — no corn, steak, apples
Permanently anchored — never slips
Zero adhesive required, ever
Fixed options stay in 24/7
Up to 90% of natural chewing power
Implants stimulate bone — preserves jaw structure
Lasts 20–25+ years with proper care
Eat virtually anything — steak, corn, apples
Types of Implant-Supported Dentures
Dr. Qiu will recommend the best option based on your bone density, budget, and lifestyle goals.
All-on-6 Fixed Arch
6 implants support a complete fixed arch of teeth — permanently attached, never removed. Our gold standard for full-arch restoration.
- Fully fixed — never removable
- Maximum stability & bone preservation
- Closest to natural teeth
- 25+ year lifespan
Bar-Retained Overdenture
A metal bar follows the curve of your jaw, attached to 4–6 implants. The denture clips onto the bar for rock-solid retention — removable for cleaning.
- Removable for easy cleaning
- Very stable — zero movement
- Excellent for upper arch
- Good option when bone is limited
Ball/Locator Overdenture
Individual ball-shaped attachments on each implant (2–4 implants) snap into the denture like a button. Most affordable implant denture option.
- 2–4 implants per arch
- Most affordable option
- Easy snap-in/snap-out
- Dramatically better than regular dentures

Implant-Supported Dentures: Common Questions
What is the difference between regular dentures and implant-supported dentures?
Regular dentures rest on the gums and can slip, causing discomfort and difficulty eating. Implant-supported dentures attach to titanium implants in your jawbone — they stay locked in place, require no adhesive, and preserve bone that would otherwise shrink with regular dentures.
How many implants are needed for implant-supported dentures?
The number depends on the type: 2–4 implants for a snap-in overdenture, 4–6 for a bar-retained overdenture, and 4–6 for a fixed hybrid arch. Dr. Qiu will determine the right configuration based on your bone density and jaw anatomy during your free CT scan evaluation.
Can I eat normally with implant-supported dentures?
Yes. Implant-supported dentures restore up to 90% of natural chewing force. You can eat steak, apples, corn on the cob — virtually anything you enjoyed with natural teeth. Fixed arch options function just like natural teeth with no removal needed.
How do I clean implant-supported dentures?
For snap-in overdentures: remove nightly, brush with a soft brush, soak in denture solution, and clean the implant attachments in your mouth with a small interdental brush. Fixed arch dentures are cleaned in place like natural teeth — brush twice daily and use a water flosser to clean under the prosthesis.
