Implant Dentures in Clearwater, FL
Secure, Long-Lasting Tooth Replacement for a Confident Smile
Traditional dentures can slip, feel unstable, or require messy adhesives—but with implant-supported dentures, you get the stability of dental implants combined with the full-arch coverage of a denture. At Prime Dental Care in Clearwater, we offer custom implant dentures and implant overdentures to restore your smile with comfort, security, and confidence.
These advanced restorations look and function more like natural teeth and help preserve your jawbone, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile without worry.

What Are Implant Dentures?
Implant dentures are full or partial dentures that are anchored to titanium implants placed in the jawbone. These implants act as replacement tooth roots, providing stability and preventing the slipping common with traditional removable dentures.
Types of Implant Denture Options
- Implant-Supported Dentures:
Fixed or removable dentures that attach securely to multiple implants. They offer excellent retention and do not rely on adhesives. - Implant Overdentures:
Removable dentures that snap onto dental implants for added security. They’re easier to clean and maintain while offering far more stability than conventional dentures.
Implant dentures may be used for the upper arch, lower arch, or both. They are an ideal option for patients looking for improved comfort and function compared to traditional dentures.
Benefits of Implant Dentures
- Stronger, more stable bite for eating a variety of foods
- Improved comfort—no shifting, pinching, or sores
- Supports facial structure and reduces bone loss
- No need for adhesives or pastes
- Boosts confidence and speech clarity
- Long-lasting with proper care and maintenance
Many patients report that implant dentures feel significantly more natural than removable options, especially when smiling, chewing, or speaking.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate for implant dentures if you:
- Are missing most or all teeth in one or both arches
- Are unhappy with the fit or function of your current dentures
- Have sufficient jawbone or are open to bone grafting
- Want a more permanent, stable solution
- Do not want individual implants for every missing tooth
Dr. Zhong will evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and goals to determine whether implant-supported or overdenture solutions are best for you.
What to Expect from the Process
- Consultation and 3D Imaging:
We begin with digital imaging and a full evaluation of your jawbone, gums, and smile goals. - Implant Placement:
Small titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone. Healing (osseointegration) usually takes a few months. - Temporary Denture (If Needed):
A transitional denture may be worn during healing for function and aesthetics. - Denture Fabrication and Attachment:
Once healing is complete, your custom implant denture is securely attached or fitted for easy removal (in the case of overdentures). - Follow-Up and Maintenance:
We provide guidance on cleaning, care, and long-term maintenance to ensure a successful outcome.
FAQs About Implant Dentures
Are implant dentures permanent?
Some are fixed (non-removable), while others are removable snap-on styles. Both are secured to implants and far more stable than traditional dentures.
Do implant dentures hurt?
The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort during recovery. Long-term, they’re often more comfortable than conventional dentures.
Can I get implant dentures if I already wear regular dentures?
Yes. Many patients upgrade to implant dentures for improved fit and function. Your existing denture may even be modified for temporary use during healing.
How many implants are needed?
Typically 2–6 implants per arch are used, depending on your jawbone and the type of denture selected.
Are implant dentures covered by insurance?
Coverage varies. We offer CareCredit and Sunbit financing and savings through our Prime Smile Club to make care more accessible.
