Implant-Supported Dentures in Emmitsburg, MD

Dentures anchored by implants rather than adhesive or suction. The secure fit improves chewing, speech and day-to-day comfort.

Implant dentures anchor to posts placed in the jawbone rather than relying on suction or adhesive to stay put.

The difference in daily life is large. Chewing gets its power back — apples, steak, corn on the cob stop being a calculation. Speech steadies. And the low-level anxiety of a denture shifting at the wrong moment simply goes away.

They also help preserve the jawbone, which recedes over time when nothing is stimulating it. Conventional dentures sit on top of that process; implants slow it.

Common questions

Often four to six per arch, depending on the bone and the design.
