Denture Stabilization

Dentures That Stay Put

A denture that slips can create sore spots and make eating or speaking more difficult. At Innovative Dental & Orthodontics, our expertise in dentistry and prosthodontics enables us to use implants to stabilize your dentures with minimal discomfort and a fast recovery.

Our board-certified prosthodontist, Dr. Amit Kamat, and our highly trained dentists, Dr. Maitri Patel and Dr. David George, scan your jaw and existing denture, plan your ideal placement, and secure implants that hold your dentures comfortably in place.

Why Stability Matters

Conventional dentures can restore appearance and basic chewing, but they often lack the stability needed for confident function, leading to slipping, sore spots, and difficulty eating certain foods. Over time, this can affect nutrition and overall health.

Securing a denture to implants changes that. It improves chewing, comfort, and confidence, but how well it works depends on where the implants go. Implants placed at slightly different angles put uneven stress on the attachments, which wears them out faster and can leave a denture that never feels quite right.

Planning each position in advance, in relation to the denture itself, is what makes the difference between a denture that is held down and one that feels like part of you. Our prosthodontic expertise and in-house technology let us plan precisely where each implant needs to go to give you a denture that stays where you put it.

How It Works

1. Digital Records

We take a CBCT scan, a 3D X-ray showing your jawbone and the structures around it, and a digital scan of the denture you already wear.

2. Smart Planning

Both scans go into RealGUIDE, where Dr. Amit Kamat and Dr. Maitri Patel plan implant positions that fit your denture, confirm there is room to attach it properly, and keep the implants parallel so the attachments wear evenly.

3. Custom Surgical Guide

A 3D-printed guide is fabricated in-house, giving us complete accuracy during implant placement.

4. Placement & Attachment

Guided placement is quick and minimally invasive, so most patients recover faster than they expect. We then attach Locator abutments, the snap-in connectors that hold your denture securely while still letting you take it out to clean.

Why Locator Abutments?

For decades, Locator abutments have been the gold standard for implant-retained dentures, trusted worldwide.

Proven predictability backed by decades of research
Secure retention from nylon inserts that provide just the right “snap”
Easy maintenance—inserts can be replaced over time
Patient comfort, reducing movement and sore spots while allowing natural speech

If the denture you already wear fits well, we can usually retrofit it to clip onto the abutments, so you keep the teeth you are used to.

If your denture is worn, loose, or no longer fitting the way it should, we make you a new one designed from the start to snap on and off. Either way, your denture comes out for cleaning and goes back in securely, and we handle both the implants and the denture work here in our office.
