Many people who wear traditional dentures describe concerns such as slipping, sore spots or feeling unsure when eating in public. Implant-supported dentures are designed to improve security by connecting a denture to dental implants, which can help reduce movement and support a more confident daily routine. At Eberhard Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, our dentist and team provide implant-supported dentures in Utica, Michigan, with a planning-first approach that prioritizes comfort, clear expectations and long-term support. Dr. David Eberhard will help you understand whether this option fits your needs and what the process may look like for your smile.
When teeth are missing, changes can occur in how the mouth functions and how the face is supported. Replacing teeth is not only about appearance. It is also about comfort, nutrition and speaking clearly. Implant-supported dentures aim to provide a solution that feels more dependable for many patients, especially those who have struggled with denture stability.
