Implant Dentures That Stay in Place
If you are looking for a more secure alternative to removable dentures, Beaumont Dental Care has a solution for you. Dr. Titus Son offers implant supported dentures in Beaumont, TX, giving patients a more stable, comfortable, and confident alternative to conventional removable dentures.

What Are Implant Supported Dentures?
Implant supported dentures are a type of denture that attaches directly to dental implants anchored in your jawbone rather than resting loosely on your gums. The implants act as stable anchor points, giving your denture a secure connection that conventional dentures simply cannot provide.
Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures

Who Is a Good Candidate?
Implant supported dentures may be right for you if you are:
- Currently wearing full dentures and unhappy with the fit or stability
- Missing all of your teeth in one or both arches
- Looking for a more affordable alternative to All-on-4
- Interested in a removable option that still offers strong stability
- In generally good health with adequate jawbone density
Patients with some bone loss may still qualify, especially for removable implant retained dentures. Dr. Son will evaluate your bone and gum health during your consultation and recommend the best option for your situation.
The Treatment Process at Beaumont Dental Care
- Consultation: Dr. Son examines your mouth, reviews digital imaging, and discusses your goals to determine which type of implant denture is the best fit.
- Implant Placement: Two to six implants are surgically placed in your jaw under local anesthesia. Sedation is available for your comfort.
- Healing: Over the following months, the implants fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable anchor for your denture.
- Denture Fitting: Once healing is complete, your custom denture is attached to the implants. For removable options, you will be shown how to snap it in and remove it easily at home.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants
What is the difference between snap in dentures and fixed dentures? Snap in dentures, also called clip in dentures, locator dentures, or implant retained dentures, attach to the implants with connectors that you can unsnap at home for cleaning. Fixed dentures are permanently attached and can only be removed by your dentist. Both offer far better stability than traditional dentures.
How many implants are needed?
Most implant dentures require between two to four implants per arch. Dr. Son will determine the right number based on your bone density and the type of restoration you choose.
Is the procedure painful?
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and sedation is available. Most patients are comfortable throughout the procedure and experience only mild soreness in the days following.
How do I clean implant supported dentures?
Removable overdentures should be taken out and cleaned daily, just like traditional dentures. Fixed implant dentures are brushed in place twice daily and cleaned underneath using a water flosser or floss threader. Dr. Son will ensure you have a maintenance plan for your restoration to ensure long lasting results. Regular checkups at our office are important for all implant denture patients.
How much do implant supported dentures cost in Beaumont, TX?
Cost depends on the number of implants placed, whether extractions are needed, and whether you choose a removable or fixed restoration. Come in for a free consultation and we can provide a customized estimate and information about our flexible financing options.
