Denture Stabilization in Oviedo, FL
Many patients wear conventional dentures but find that they slip, move, or make it difficult to eat comfortably. If you already have a denture and want to improve its stability, we can secure it with dental implants. This can be done for the lower denture, which is often the least stable, or for both the upper and lower dentures
Why Stability Matters
Conventional dentures can restore appearance and basic chewing ability, but they often lack the stability needed for truly confident function. Many patients experience slipping, sore spots, and difficulty eating certain foods. Over time, this can affect not only comfort, but also nutrition and overall health.
That’s where denture stabilization with dental implants makes all the difference. By securing your existing denture to implants, we can dramatically improve chewing efficiency, comfort, and confidence—helping you enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle.
How It Works
Patients who already wear dentures—upper, lower, or both—can benefit from stabilization with implants. In most cases, just a few implants are enough to provide a secure foundation for your denture.
- Digital Records – We begin with a CBCT scan, intraoral and extraoral scans, and detailed photos.
- Smart Planning – Using RealGUIDE software, Dr. Amit Kamat (Board-Certified Prosthodontist) and Dr. Maitri Patel design a precise surgical plan. The software ensures adequate restorative space and allows us to plan for parallel implant placement, which minimizes wear on the attachments
- Custom Surgical Guide – A 3D-printed guide is fabricated in-house, giving us complete accuracy during implant placement.
- Implant Placement & Attachment – Implants are placed with precision, and Locator abutments are connected to them. These act like snap-in connectors that securely hold your denture in place while still allowing for easy removal for cleaning.
Why Locator Abutments?
For decades, Locator abutments have been the gold standard for implant-retained dentures. They are trusted worldwide for their:
- Proven Predictability – Backed by decades of research and clinical use.
- Secure Retention – Their nylon inserts provide just the right amount of “snap” to keep dentures stable.
- Ease of Maintenance – Inserts can be replaced over time to maintain long-term function.
- Patient Comfort – They reduce denture movement and sore spots, while allowing for normal speech and confident eating.
The Result
By combining advanced imaging, guided surgery, and proven attachment technology, we provide patients with dentures that feel stable, natural, and efficient. Whether stabilizing just the lower denture or both arches, this treatment can transform daily function and dramatically improve quality of life.
FAQ: Denture Stabilization with Implants
Most patients only need two to four implants in the lower jaw to dramatically improve denture stability. The upper jaw may require a few more, depending on bone quality and anatomy. Drs. Amit Kamat and Maitri Patel will customize your plan to your needs.
In many cases, yes. We can often adapt your existing dentures to attach to implants using Locator abutments. If your dentures are worn or no longer fit well, we may recommend making a new set for the best long-term results.
Yes. Implant-stabilized dentures “snap” securely into place, but you can easily remove them for daily cleaning. This gives you both stability during the day and convenience for hygiene.
The implants themselves are designed to be longterm, often lasting decades with proper care. The nylon inserts inside the Locator abutments may wear over time, but they can be easily replaced in our office to keep your dentures feeling secure.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. Because we use guided surgery with 3D-printed templates, implant placement is precise and minimally invasive, which shortens recovery and reduces soreness.
You can expect to chew more efficiently, speak more clearly, and smile with greater confidence. Many patients report being able to enjoy foods they hadn’t eaten in years—leading to better nutrition and improved overall health.
