Fixed implant Denture in Pewaukee, WI

Fixed Implant Denture

A fixed implant denture is a permanent solution for replacing all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Unlike traditional removable dentures that rest on the gums, this type of denture is securely attached to dental implants placed into the jawbone. Typically, four to six implants are used to anchor a full arch of teeth, providing excellent stability, comfort, and chewing power. The denture is either screwed in or firmly fastened to the implants, so it stays in place and doesn’t need to be removed for cleaning. Fixed implant dentures look, feel, and function like natural teeth and eliminate the need for adhesives or concern about slipping. With proper care, they offer a long-term solution that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with renewed confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Fixed implant dentures are securely attached to dental implants and stay in place at all times—they’re not taken out daily like removable dentures. They offer greater stability, feel more like natural teeth, and allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Unlike removable dentures, they don’t shift or require adhesives, and they help preserve jawbone health by stimulating the bone through the implants.

  • Typically, a full denture is supported by four to six dental implants per arch, depending on your bone quality, anatomy, and the type of restoration. The “All-on-4” technique uses four strategically placed implants to support a full set of teeth, while some cases may benefit from five or six for added stability. During your consultation, your dentist will determine the best approach for your needs.

  • Fixed implant dentures are custom-designed to fit your mouth comfortably and naturally. Unlike traditional dentures, they are securely anchored to implants, so they feel more like real teeth and less bulky. Most patients adjust quickly and find them much more comfortable than removable dentures, with no slipping or extra material covering the roof of the mouth.
