Implant-Supported Dentures in Fort Gibson, OK
Secure, Stable Smiles That Don’t Slip or Shift
Tired of loose dentures? Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the convenience of a full denture — giving you a smile that stays in place when you talk, eat, and laugh. At Fort Gibson Family Dentistry, we help patients enjoy strong, confident smiles again with custom, implant-retained dentures.


What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures (also called overdentures or snap-in dentures) are full dentures that attach securely to dental implants placed in the jaw. Instead of sitting on your gums with adhesive, they lock into place — offering unmatched comfort, chewing strength, and peace of mind.
We offer both:
- Removable implant-supported dentures – can be snapped in/out for cleaning
- Fixed implant dentures – stay in place 24/7 and are only removed by your dentist
If you’re tired of shifting, sore spots, or speech issues from traditional dentures, this may be the ideal long-term solution.
Benefits of Choosing Implant-Retained Dentures
Patients from Fort Gibson and beyond are choosing implant-supported dentures because they:
- Stay secure while chewing and talking
- Eliminate the need for adhesives or pastes
- Prevent jawbone loss and maintain facial structure
- Feel more like natural teeth than traditional dentures
- Improve confidence in both social and everyday situations
They’re also more affordable than full-mouth individual implants, making them a great middle-ground solution for many.
How the Process Works
Getting implant-supported dentures typically involves a few well-planned steps:
- Consultation & 3D Imaging
We evaluate your jawbone and overall oral health to confirm you’re a candidate. - Implant Placement
2–6 implants are placed per arch (upper or lower). Healing may take a few months. - Denture Design
A custom full denture is created to snap securely onto your implants. - Attachment & Adjustment
Once healed, we secure your new denture — whether removable or fixed — and ensure a perfect fit.
We coordinate closely with trusted oral surgery partners when needed, and ensure your final restoration is comfortable, stable, and built to last.

How many implants do I need for implant-supported dentures?
Most cases require 2 to 6 implants per arch, depending on whether your denture will be removable or fixed.
Are implant dentures permanent?
They can be! Fixed dentures are permanent and only removed by a dentist, while removable overdentures can be taken out for cleaning.
Will they feel like natural teeth?
Yes. Implant-supported dentures feel far more secure than traditional dentures and restore much of your chewing power and confidence.
What happens if I don’t have enough bone?
We may recommend bone grafting or consider alternative solutions like All-on-4 implants, which work well for patients with some bone loss.
Are implant-supported dentures covered by insurance?
Some dental plans offer partial coverage. We’ll help verify your benefits and review financing options to make treatment manageable.
