“I just want teeth that stay in and feel normal.”
We hear this every single week from patients who are tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures that slip when they talk or eat.
And they’re not alone. Traditional dentures—while better than no teeth at all—can often feel like a compromise. Many patients feel self-conscious, avoid chewy foods, or struggle with speech. If that sounds familiar, there’s a modern solution that’s changing lives: implant-supported dentures.
At Peak Prosthodontics, we help patients across Lethbridge and Southern Alberta regain confidence and comfort with this advanced treatment. Whether you’re looking for a more stable denture or considering options that combine functionality with cosmetic dentistry benefits (like veneers), this post will walk you through the value of implant-supported dentures—and help you decide if they’re worth it for you.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a hybrid solution. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on your gums, these dentures are anchored to dental implants—small titanium posts that are surgically placed in your jawbone. The result? A denture that snaps into place and stays there.
They offer:
- Improved stability and retention – No more slipping or clicking.
- Better chewing ability – Enjoy the foods you love again.
- Bone preservation – Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent bone loss over time.
- Long-term durability – With proper care, they can last many years.
- A more natural look and feel – Especially when combined with customized aesthetics like veneers or smile design.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
You may be a great fit for implant-supported dentures if you:
- Are missing all or most of your teeth.
- Struggle with loose, uncomfortable traditional dentures.
- Have adequate jawbone (or are open to grafting if needed).
- Want a long-term, stable solution that supports both function and confidence.
If you’re searching for dentists near you or dentists in Lethbridge who offer implant-supported dentures, make sure they have experience in prosthodontics and implant planning. A successful outcome depends on proper design and surgical coordination.
Are They Worth It?
Let’s talk real value. Implant-supported dentures are more of an investment than traditional dentures—but they also offer exponentially more in return.
Consider:
- Fewer adjustments or replacements over time.
- Improved nutrition and digestion from better chewing.
- The ability to speak clearly and smile with confidence.
- Less jawbone shrinkage over the years.
- A boost in overall quality of life.
For many of our patients, that’s priceless.
What’s the Process Like?
Here’s what you can expect at Peak Prosthodontics:
- Consultation & 3D Imaging – We evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and design a plan that’s just for you.
- Implant Placement – Done by a trusted surgical partner.
- Healing Period – The implants fuse with your bone (osseointegration), typically over a few months.
- Custom Denture Creation – We design and fit your denture to snap securely into place.
And just like that, you’re back to eating, laughing, and living with freedom again.
