What Are Implant Supported Dentures?
Implant supported dentures are a revolutionary solution that combines the stability of dental implants with the familiarity of dentures. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant supported dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. These tiny threaded posts replace missing teeth roots, providing a secure foundation for your new teeth.
Types of Implant Supported Dentures
There are two main types of implant supported dentures:
- Removable Tampa Snap On Dentures: These dentures “snap on” to dental implants in your jawbone. They stay securely in place until you’re ready to remove them for cleaning.
- Fixed Implant Supported Dentures: Also known as hybrid dentures, these attach permanently to dental implants in your jawbone. They can only be removed by a dentist for maintenance when necessary.

How Does the Implant Supported Denture Process Work?
The implant supported denture process at Tampa Implant and General Dentistry Center typically involves several key steps:
- Comprehensive Consultation: Dr. Nanavati conducts a thorough examination, including 3D imaging, to assess your oral health and determine if implant supported dentures are right for you.
- Pre-prosthetic Surgery: If necessary, we’ll extract any decayed or damaged teeth and perform bone grafting in areas with insufficient jawbone density.
- Treatment Planning: We create a personalized treatment plan, determining the number and position of implants needed.
- Implant Surgery:
Dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone. A healing period of 3-6 months follows, allowing the implants to integrate with your bone. - Denture Fabrication:
We take impressions and work with you to design your custom dentures.
The dentures are crafted to fit precisely over your implants. - Attachment Placement:
Once the implants have fully integrated, attachments are placed on the implants.
These attachments will connect with the dentures. - Final Fitting:
Your new implant supported dentures are fitted and adjusted for optimal comfort and function. - Follow-up Care: Regular check-ups ensure the long-term success of your implant supported dentures.
