Implant-Supported Dentures

If you have been living with traditional dentures, you already know the frustrations. The slipping. The adhesive. The foods you avoid because you are afraid your teeth will move. Implant-supported dentures solve those problems by anchoring your denture to implants in your jawbone. The result is a set of teeth that stays where it belongs — when you eat, when you talk, and when you laugh.

There are two main types, and Dr. Maharaj will help you figure out which one is right for you. Snap-in dentures (also called overdentures) clip onto implant posts and can be removed for cleaning — you get the security of implants with the ease of being able to take your teeth out at night if you prefer. Fixed implant dentures (sometimes called hybrid dentures or All-on-4) are permanently attached and function just like natural teeth. You brush them in your mouth, and they never come out.

Both options use far fewer implants than you might expect. A full arch of teeth can often be supported by as few as four to six implants, depending on your jawbone. That means less surgery, faster healing, and lower cost compared to placing an individual implant for every missing tooth.

The difference you will feel is dramatic. People who switch from traditional dentures to implant-supported ones consistently say it changed their lives. They eat foods they had given up on. They stop worrying about their teeth shifting during conversations. They smile without thinking about it for the first time in years. That is not marketing — that is what we hear in this office regularly.

Dr. Maharaj holds a Fellowship from the International Dental Implant Association, so you are getting this care from someone with specific, advanced training in implant dentistry. The consultation, the placement, the temporary teeth during healing, and the final restoration all happen right here in Bedford. No referral to a specialist. No driving to another city.

If your current dentures are holding you back, a conversation about implant-supported options costs you nothing but a little time. You will leave knowing whether you are a candidate, what your options look like, and what the investment would be.
