We understand that a dysfunctional smile that causes pain and damages your confidence can take a toll on your life. While dentures or other restorative dentistry can be helpful, they are not a permanent solution that helps your oral health in the long term. Our office uses implant-supported dentures to provide permanent tooth restoration for your entire smile.

What are Implant Dentures and How are They Different from Traditional Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures offer you a new smile in one appointment. Our office uses the All-on-X system to offer you such a quick new smile. Unlike traditional dentures through, the denture attaches to implants that are anchored into your jaw. This creates a secure attachment for the dentures, instead of relying on suction and dental adhesives.
Our custom dentures will not slip, and they fill out your face, offering you a more radiant and natural-feeling smile. What’s even better, is you can see an immediate boost in functionality as well.
They are vastly different in quality and reliability than traditional dentures, which can slip, cause pain, and are less durable than implant-supported dentures.

Here are some real-life patient testimonials and smile results.
Enjoy the Customization of All-on-X
All-on-X is a system that gives you a new set of teeth in just a few short treatments. The dentures are custom to you. Our dentists determine everything from how many implants you need down to the color of the gums on your dentures. This customization means that you can see improved functionality quicker, as the dentures are made for you. You won’t have to struggle to speak or eat when the dentures fit your arch perfectly.
We use a CT scan to plan the placement of your implants. We even have sedation dentistry to improve your experience on the day of the procedure.
Risks of Not Replacing Missing Teeth
Denture implants help you replace several or all of your teeth. They are best for extensive damage. You may be wondering why you should replace your teeth with implants instead of just wearing a denture. Beyond the improved cosmetics that implant-supported dentures offer, you may struggle with these issues if you don’t replace your teeth:
- Shifting teeth and bite misalignment
- Jawbone deterioration and facial changes
- Gum disease and tooth decay
- Speech difficulties
- Dietary limitations and digestive issues
Our office prioritizes your overall health, which is why All-on-X is our preferred tooth replacement method for severe cases. Implants prevent many of these listed oral health issues, all while giving you a new smile in a single day!
The All-on-X Implant Denture Process
- Tooth Extractions | We remove any remaining teeth under local anesthesia.
- Jawbone Preparation | We prepare your jawbone with bone grafts if necessary.
- Placing the Denture Implants | We will place the dental implants under local or general anesthesia.
- Healing and Osseointegration | You will wear a temporary denture over your implants while they heal.
- Attaching the Abutments | We will place abutments that connect the implants to your denture.
- Customizing and Fitting Your Denture | We will then create custom dentures that fit over your abutments.
- Recovery and Long-Term Care | You will have a small adjustment period with your new permanent dentures, but then you care for them like natural teeth.
FAQs
Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-X?
Implant-supported dentures and All-on-X are excellent solutions for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth and want a stable, long-term alternative to traditional dentures. You may be a good candidate for permanent dentures if:
- You have multiple missing teeth and need full-arch tooth replacement.
- You wear traditional dentures but struggle with discomfort, slipping, or adhesive use.
- You have sufficient jawbone density to support dental implants (or are willing to undergo a bone graft if needed).
- You are in good overall health with no uncontrolled medical conditions that could affect healing.
- You are a non-smoker or willing to quit, as smoking can impact the success of implants.
- The best way to determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you is through a consultation and evaluation at Oceanside Dental Excellence.
What is Recovery Like After Getting Implants?
Implants are an outpatient surgery that typically takes a couple of hours. You will need to eat soft foods and rotate between pain relief to prevent swelling for the first couple of days. After that, you can enjoy your new fully functional smile.
What Are the Results of Denture Implants?
The results you can expect from implant dentures are both cosmetic and restorative. Your smile will once again be complete with beautiful replacement teeth that look and function like your natural teeth! Once again you can chew your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

Are Implant Dentures Covered By Insurance?
Dental plans can cover costs related to implant dentures. However, how much is covered differs from policy to policy. But not to worry! Our staff has been trained to help navigate policy questions, evaluate treatment costs, and show you what financing options are available to you.
