Denture stabilization uses implants and attachments to firmly support an individual's dentures, preventing issues with speaking, chewing, and smiling, and facial shape changes caused by jawbone recession.

What is Denture Stabilization?

During the denture stabilization procedure, your dentist will place between two and four implants in an arch and will retrofit your dentures with snap-on attachments. These attachments hold the dentures firmly in place by the implants.

• Two implants are the minimum number placed to provide stability.
• Placing three or more implants will increase chewing power.
• Your dentures will still be easily removable for cleaning or other care.

When is Denture Stabilization Needed?

Over time, as you wear your dentures, you lose the bony structure that supports your soft tissues. Because your soft tissues make contact with your dentures, this too will start to recede with the bone. As a result, you're in a constant state of adjustment, discomfort, and difficulty with everyday functions like speaking, chewing, and smiling. The solution is denture stabilization.
