Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures may be an option for patients who are missing most or all teeth and want to explore a more stable tooth replacement solution than traditional removable dentures. At Burlington Dental Studio, we provide implant-supported dentures in Burlington, including consultations for All-on-4 and All-on-6 treatment concepts, for suitable patients after a detailed assessment.
Our clinic is located at 3537 Fairview St, Burlington, ON, making us accessible for patients from Tansley Woods, Palmer, Headon Forest, The Orchard, Millcroft, Alton Village, Brant Hills, Roseland, Shoreacres, Pinedale, Appleby, and nearby Burlington communities. Whether you currently wear dentures, are missing multiple teeth, or are planning extractions and future tooth replacement, our team can assess your needs and explain suitable options.
Implant-supported dentures are not right for everyone. Treatment depends on gum health, bone support, medical history, oral hygiene, bite, existing dentures, remaining teeth, and overall treatment goals. A consultation is needed before determining whether implant-supported dentures may be appropriate. Call us today or request your appointment online.
What Are Implant- Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are dentures that attach to or are supported by dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures that rest mainly on the gums, implant-supported dentures use dental implants placed in the jawbone to provide added support.
Depending on the treatment plan, implant-supported dentures may be removable or fixed. Some designs can be removed by the patient for cleaning, while others are fixed in place and removed only by a dental professional when needed.
Implant-supported dentures may be considered for patients who:
- Are missing many or all teeth
- Currently wear loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Want to explore a more stable denture option
- Have enough bone support for implants
- Are interested in full-arch tooth replacement
- Need treatment planning after extractions
- Want to compare traditional dentures with implant-supported options
A dental exam and imaging are needed to assess whether this treatment may be suitable.
What Are All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are full-arch implant treatment concepts that use dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The number refers to the number of implants commonly used to support the restoration.
All-on-4 typically uses four implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. All-on-6 typically uses six implants. The right approach depends on the patient’s bone support, bite, jaw anatomy, oral health, and treatment goals.
These options require careful planning. They are not suitable for every patient, and the number of implants needed can only be determined after a consultation and imaging.
Implant-Supported Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable appliances that rest on the gums. They can help replace missing teeth, but some patients experience movement, sore spots, or reduced confidence while chewing or speaking.
Implant-supported dentures use dental implants for added stability. This may help improve denture support and function for suitable patients. However, implant-supported dentures involve surgery, healing, planning, and ongoing maintenance, so they require a more detailed treatment process than traditional dentures.
The right option depends on your oral health, bone support, budget, timeline, and personal preferences.
Who May Be a Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures may be suitable for some patients who are missing multiple teeth or all teeth in one or both arches. A good candidate usually needs enough bone support, healthy gums, stable overall health, and a commitment to oral hygiene and maintenance visits.
Factors that may affect candidacy include:
- Gum health
- Bone volume and density
- Medical history
- Smoking or vaping habits
- Oral hygiene routine
- Bite and jaw relationship
- Bite and jaw relationship
- Number and location of missing teeth
- Existing dentures or restorations
- Treatment goals and expectations
If there is not enough bone support, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be discussed. If implant treatment is not suitable, traditional dentures or other restorative options may be reviewed.
What to Expect During an Implant Denture Consultation
An implant-supported denture consultation begins with a detailed assessment of your mouth, gums, bite, missing teeth, existing dentures, and overall oral health. Our dentist will also review your medical history and discuss your goals for comfort, chewing, appearance, and stability.
Your consultation may include:
- Review of missing teeth or current dentures
- Gum health assessment
- Bite and jaw evaluation
- Digital X-rays or imaging when appropriate
- Treatment sequencing and maintenance planning
- Bone support evaluation
- Review of treatment options
- Discussion of traditional dentures vs. implant-supported dentures
- Explanation of All-on-4 or All-on-6 concepts when relevant
If implant-supported dentures may be suitable, our team will explain the possible stages, including preparation, implant placement, healing, denture design, and follow-up care.
Treatment Planning and Tooth Extractions
Some patients considering implant-supported dentures still have remaining teeth that may need assessment. If teeth are damaged, loose, infected, or cannot be restored predictably, extractions may be discussed as part of the treatment plan.
Tooth removal is only recommended after a dental exam and imaging when appropriate. If extractions are needed, our team will explain why, how they fit into the implant denture plan, and what replacement options may be available.

Caring for Implant- Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures require consistent daily care and regular professional maintenance. Even though replacement teeth do not decay like natural teeth, the gums, implants, and surrounding tissues still need attention.
Care may include:
- Brushing around implant attachments or fixed restorations
- Cleaning under or around the denture as instructed
- Using special floss, brushes, or water flossers when recommended
- Removing and cleaning removable implant dentures if applicable
- Attending regular dental exams and maintenance visits
- Monitoring gum tissue for soreness, swelling, or changes
- Reporting looseness, discomfort, or changes in fit
Healthy gums and routine maintenance are important for long-term implant care.
