Implant Supported Dentures
Secure A Functional, Attractive Smile
So You Can Focus More on Living Your Life
Living with loose or uncomfortable dentures can change the way you experience everyday life. You may find yourself thinking twice about certain foods, feeling distracted by dentures that shift, or becoming more aware of your smile in social situations. Dr. Meltzer and Dr. Isleem understand how frustrating these challenges can be and offer implant-supported dentures as a more secure alternative. By anchoring your denture to dental implants placed in the jawbone, they create a stable foundation that feels more natural and allows you to enjoy daily activities with greater confidence.

What to Expect During Treatment
1
Consultation and Evaluation
Dr. Meltzer or Dr. Isleem will examine your oral health, review digital images, and discuss your goals to determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you.
2
Implant Placement
Dental implants are placed in the jawbone to create a stable foundation for your future denture.
3
Healing Period
As the implants heal, they gradually fuse with the surrounding bone, creating the support needed for long-term stability.
4
Denture Attachment
Once healing is complete, your custom denture is secured to the implants for a comfortable, reliable fit.
Long-term maintenance visits protect the implants and the fit of your prosthesis.
5
Long-Term Maintenance
Routine visits allow Dr. Meltzer and Dr. Isleem to monitor your implants and help keep your smile functioning at its best.
More Than a Traditional Denture
Traditional dentures rely on a patient's gum ridge for support. In many cases the patient needs adhesives to prevent the dentures from moving or slipping. Implant supported dentures, however, are secured with dental implants and are the economic alternative to stabilize dentures far beyond the capability of adhesive. In many cases, we can use your existing dentures and convert them to implant supported dentures further reducing the cost. Our patients who have received implant supported dentures now smile, talk and eat with more confidence because they never have to fear their dentures falling out or moving.
