Schedule AppointmentTake Charge of Your Oral Health with Implant-Supported Dentures
Did you know that tooth loss, especially severe tooth loss, can lead to the degeneration of your jawbone? It can also lead to issues with facial sagging and gum health. While traditional removable dentures can help with some of these things, they are not an optimal oral health solution.
Implants stimulate the jawbone, similar to tooth roots. This provides necessary support for your jaw and face, helping you avoid sunken areas in your face as well as pain.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures use implants to anchor dentures to your gums. This solution doesn’t use dental adhesives and prevents slipping, all while offering the benefits of implants.
Implant-supported dentures can either be non-removable or snap-on. Let’s explore both options.
Non-Removable
Your dentures will be permanently attached to your implants, acting as a whole new arch of teeth for you. We will match the teeth to your gum color and customize the fit so they are comfortable. This approach prevents slippage and restores total function, and is most similar to a natural arch of teeth.
We use the All-on-X and All-on-4® treatment concept for non-removable dentures to provide the most customizable approach possible.
Snap-On Dentures
Snap-on dentures attach to abutments on top of the implants, and can be removed and attached whenever needed. They are perfect for patients who are transitioning from traditional dentures or who value the comfort of a removable prosthetic. The snap-on dentures are still very secure to avoid slipping.
They combine the oral health benefits of implants with the convenience of traditional dentures.

Personalized Advice
During our personalized 2-hour consultation, Dr. Martin will get to know you as a person, but he will also:
- Take scans of your mouth and jaw to analyze bone density and oral health
- Discuss your cosmetic goals
- Discuss your personal and family oral health history
- Educate you on our different tooth replacement options
- Inform you on which processes you qualify for
- Help you make an informed decision on which option would help you meet your goals
If you would like to learn more about implant-supported dentures, contact our office for an honest assessment and discussion. We have a variety of tooth replacement options for you.
Comparing the Options
- Candidacy | You must have enough jawbone density to support implant placement to receive implant-supported dentures. If not, traditional dentures may be a better solution, or you could consider a gum graft.
- Comfort | All-on-X is often reported by patients as the most comfortable option, but snap-on dentures may be more comfortable if you are used to removing your dentures at home or before sleeping.
- Durability | Implants are permanent, and the dentures on top of them will need to be replaced around every 15 years, which is less often than traditional dentures, which need to be replaced around every 5 years.
- Aesthetics | We craft all of our dentures to be aesthetically pleasing, so when you pick dentures, it is more about comfort and personal preference than looks.
- Removability | Snap-on dentures and traditional dentures are removable, while All-on-X is permanently attached to the dentures.
The Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are more than just a modern upgrade from traditional dentures—they’re a life-changing solution for patients who want comfort, stability, and improved oral health. Because they are anchored directly to your jaw, implant-supported dentures restore natural function while preventing many of the common issues associated with traditional removable dentures.
Here are some of the benefits of implant-supported dentures:
- Stronger Bite Function | You’ll regain the ability to chew more comfortably and confidently. No more worrying about dentures shifting when you’re eating your favorite foods.
- Jawbone Preservation | Dental implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural teeth, helping to prevent the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth or traditional dentures.
- Improved Facial Structure | By supporting your jaw and facial muscles, implant-supported dentures help prevent the sunken look that can accompany long-term tooth loss.
- Increased Comfort | Because they don’t rely on adhesives or rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures tend to cause less irritation and feel more natural in the mouth.
- Durability and Longevity | With proper care, your implants can last a lifetime, and the dentures that attach to them typically need less frequent replacement than traditional options.
- Enhanced Confidence | Patients often report feeling more secure and confident with their smile, knowing their dentures won’t slip or click during conversations or meals.
Why Patients Love Snap-On Dentures
For those who want the health benefits of implants but aren’t interested in a permanently fixed denture, snap-on dentures offer the perfect middle ground. These removable prosthetics attach securely to dental implants and can be taken out at home for easy cleaning or comfort.
Here’s why patients appreciate the snap-on dentures we offer:
- Removable Yet Stable | Snap-on dentures stay firmly in place during the day but can be easily removed at night, giving you the best of both worlds.
- Easy Transition from Traditional Dentures | If you’re already used to removable dentures, this option provides a familiar feel with added security and support.
- Lower Cost Entry into Implant Dentistry | Snap-on dentures often require fewer implants than fixed options, making them a more accessible starting point for patients interested in implant-supported care.
- Simplified Maintenance | Cleaning your dentures is easier when they’re removable, especially for patients with dexterity challenges.
Whether you choose All-on-X or a snap-on solution, Dr. Martin will walk you through your options so that your final result supports your health, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
What Is the Process?
This type of treatment is both restorative and cosmetic. It will complete your smile while restoring the function of your mouth. It will protect your oral and overall health by sealing your smile to keep bacteria from growing and leading to infection. This state-of-the-art solution will give you permanent and stunning results.
Consultation
Before jumping into treatment, we will first evaluate your oral and overall health needs and goals through a comprehensive examination. During this session, we will create a customized treatment plan based on the results. Having a fully customized plan will ensure results that will help you feel great.
Treatment
Implant Placement
We use custom placement guides to surgically place your implants in your jaw. They will integrate with your jaw over a period of a few months, during which you will wear a temporary denture. As a team, we will decide how many implants to place and where to place them. Your opinion and comfort matter to us.
Denture Design
Here is where precision matters most! We design your dentures with special attention to detail through our advanced dental technology. James Martin, DMD, will ensure a snug and secure fit that has the aesthetics you want, including size, shape, and shade, so you can have a natural-looking and comfortable smile.
Follow-up and Aftercare
Once treatment is complete, you may need to come in for a follow-up appointment for any necessary adjustments. You will receive instructions from the dentist at the end of your appointment, which are very important to follow.
Snap-in dentures are extremely convenient due to their removable nature, giving you flexibility and ease in maintaining them. It is important to maintain proper dental hygiene and schedule routine dental checkups to help them last a long time.

Cheryl H.
“Dr Martin and the whole staff are amazing! I’ve been seeing Dr Martin for nearly a year now getting a lot of long overdue work done, and am currently nearing the end of the process of getting a couple implants. His work is amazing and top of the line! I have major anxiety in general, but excessive health (dental) anxiety and everyone here has been very supportive and understanding when I had many questions or just needed reassurance. Richelle, Kelly and Sabrina are the best as well and really make the whole experience positive.”
Judy P
“I don’t usually give reviews, but my experience with Dr. Martin and his staff have been excellent and beyond thorough. I’ve always had high anxiety with dental work. But, not this time with this office! I just got 2 crowns and a filling all in one sitting. The coolest thing is their oral sedation (which is free).
Didn’t feel a thing and just slept for a while after the procedure. If you suffer from dental anxiety and are sensitive to pain, I strongly recommend James Martin DMD and their awesome team! They really do rock!”
Jeremy W.

“Dr. Martin is the most thorough dentist I have ever been to. He truly cares about his patients and the quality of his work is excellent. The staff is so friendly and efficient at their jobs. The technology they use is very modern and some of their equipment I have never seen before with any of my previous dental offices. I highly recommend James Martin DMD!”
Darby M.
“This is by far the best dentist office I have ever been too. I would recommend them to anyone, especially those with fears of going. I have never felt more welcomed or treated with as much respect.”
Rebecca D.
“I have a major phobia of the dentist. Which has made me not go when I’ve needed too. After my initial call, the office emailed and text to follow up to have me make an appointment. Dr. Martin was great. He talked me through the first step of work I would need, and he made me feel comfortable. I was put under for my first step of work. I got a text the next day to follow up on my care and Dr. Martin talked me through the concerns I had. All of the team was wonderful as well! I appreciate this office and what they do to help people get the care they need.”
Jesse G.
“I’m completely amazed by how wonderful the staff is here as well as Dr. Martin. I can honestly say that I have never been this comfortable at a dentist’s office in my life. Dr. Martin truly cares about his patients and is passionate about what he does. I have low sinuses and he was able to extract my tooth without perforating my sinus. That was a first for me. He listens to his patients. I will never go anywhere else for dental care. From the first point of contact with his office to my most recent follow-up appointment today, the care, the kindness, and the helpfulness have been genuine and consistent!”
Dan C.
“Best dentist I’ve ever had. Everyone on the team is friendly and very knowledgeable. They really make going to the dentist a relaxing experience instead of an anxious one.”
Lauren Y.
“This is the best dentist I’ve ever been to! Go here and you’ll be completely satisfied.”
Brian C.
“All the things I was scared about and all my concerns, Dr. Martin dissuaded me from feeling those things. I’ve never been to any location, like any business or doctor, that’s really cared as much as [this office] does and goes out of their way to make sure that I’m taken care of; that’s a big thing for me. Things that I’m able to do now that I wasn’t before, that’d be being happy and proud to take pictures. Since getting all this work done and completed, I’m actually able to eat all the things that I want now.”
