Implant-Supported Dentures in Tulsa, OK

If you’re struggling with loose, uncomfortable traditional dentures—or facing complete tooth loss—implant-supported dentures offer a secure, long-lasting alternative that restores both confidence and oral function. At Dental Surgical Arts of Tulsa, we specialize in placing and restoring dental implants that anchor full or partial dentures in place for a more natural, stable smile.

Whether you're transitioning from removable dentures or considering implants for the first time, our team provides a patient-centered approach to help you achieve optimal fit, function, and comfort.

Implant-supported dentures (also called overdentures or snap-in dentures) are prosthetic teeth that are anchored to dental implants instead of resting directly on the gums.

Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip or cause irritation, implant-supported options are stabilized with 2–6 implants per arch and may be:

• Removable (Snap-In): Detachable for cleaning, but firmly secured in place throughout the day.
  
  
• Fixed (Permanent): Non-removable and function like natural teeth.

Patients across Tulsa choose implant-supported dentures because they:

• Eliminate slipping, shifting, and adhesives
  
  
• Restore natural bite force and chewing ability
  
  
• Preserve jawbone density and prevent facial collapse
  
  
• Last significantly longer than conventional dentures
  
  
• Improve speech clarity and self-confidence
  
  
• Look and feel more like natural teeth

These dentures are ideal for patients missing most or all of their teeth, and who want a long-term solution that avoids the instability of traditional prosthetics.

Every case begins with a comprehensive consultation to determine if you're a candidate for dental implants. Here's how we typically approach implant-supported dentures:

1. 3D Imaging & Digital Planning: We use advanced diagnostics to assess bone health and plan implant placement.
   
   
2. Implant Surgery: Performed by Dr. Pierce in our Tulsa office, under local anesthesia or sedation.
   
   
3. Healing Phase: Implants integrate with the bone over a few months (osseointegration).
   
   
4. Denture Attachment: Once healed, we secure your custom denture to the implants—either removable or fixed.

Patients with bone loss may first need bone grafting before implant placement.
