How Implant-Supported Dentures Work
Two to four implants are placed in the jaw. Small attachments on the implants hold the denture firmly, so it does not slip when you eat or speak.
You remove the denture at night for cleaning, then click it back in the morning.
Implant Dentures vs Traditional Dentures
• Much better stability for chewing and speaking
• Less or no need for denture adhesive
• The upper denture can often be made without covering the whole palate
• Implants help slow down bone loss in the jaw
Implant Dentures vs All-on-4
• Implant dentures: removable, usually fewer implants, often a lower total cost
• All-on-4 or All-on-6: fixed in the mouth, feels closer to natural teeth, removed only by the dentist
Your choice depends on your bone, budget and how you feel about a removable option. Your dentist explains both after the CT scan.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Implant dentures suit people who have lost all teeth in one or both jaws, or whose current dentures are loose and uncomfortable. Enough bone is needed for the implants; if not, bone grafting may be discussed.
Treatment Steps and Trips
The implants are placed first and need time to heal in the bone. Your current denture can often be adjusted to use in the meantime. After healing, usually a few months, the new denture is connected to the implants. This normally means two trips to Istanbul.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many implants does a snap-on denture need?
Usually two in the lower jaw and two to four in the upper jaw, depending on bone and bite.
Can my existing denture be used?
Sometimes it can be adapted to the implants, but a new denture usually fits and works better.
How do I clean implant dentures?
Remove the denture daily, brush it and the implant attachments, and see a dentist for check-ups. The attachments wear over time and are replaced when needed.
