Implant-Supported Dentures in Elkhorn, NE

A Stable, Secure Alternative to Traditional Dentures

If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, you may be looking for a more secure, natural-feeling solution than traditional removable dentures. At Mizner Family Dental, we offer implant-supported dentures — a modern restorative option that provides improved comfort, functionality, and long-term stability.

While we do not surgically place implants in our office, Dr. Brandon Mizner works closely with trusted oral surgeons to coordinate your implant placement. Once healed, we restore your smile in-house with high-quality custom dentures that attach directly to the implants — giving you a confident, secure fit.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are a type of overdenture that is anchored to dental implants instead of resting solely on the gums. Depending on your specific needs, they can be designed to be:

  • Removable – Snaps on and off for easy cleaning
  • Fixed – Permanently attached for maximum stability

These dentures typically rely on 2–6 implants per arch to remain securely in place. The result is a natural-looking restoration that stays put — no slipping, clicking, or adhesives required.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

Compared to traditional full or partial dentures, implant-supported options offer significant functional and lifestyle advantages:

  • Improved chewing ability and bite strength
  • Greater stability — no slipping or shifting
  • Enhanced speech clarity
  • Preservation of jawbone density and facial structure
  • More natural appearance and feel
  • Long-term durability and reliability
  • Less irritation to gums

For patients frustrated with loose dentures or struggling with sore spots, implant-supported solutions offer welcome relief and renewed confidence.

Who Is a Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for implant-supported dentures if:

  • You are missing most or all teeth in the upper or lower arch
  • You have sufficient bone density in your jaw to support implants
  • You want a more secure alternative to removable dentures
  • You are in generally good health and a non-smoker
  • You are committed to proper oral hygiene and follow-up care

During your consultation at Mizner Family Dental, we will assess your oral health, take digital scans, and coordinate any needed pre-treatment, such as bone grafting or extractions.

Our Approach to Implant-Supported Dentures

  1. Consultation and Planning
    Dr. Mizner will evaluate your current oral condition and determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you. If you’re currently wearing traditional dentures, we’ll review how your needs can be better met with implants.
  2. Implant Placement (Referral)
    We coordinate your care with a local oral surgeon who places the dental implants. Healing typically takes several months as the implants integrate with the jawbone.
  3. Impression and Design
    Once healed, we use digital impressions to design your custom overdenture for a secure fit and natural appearance.
  4. Attachment and Final Fitting
    Your new denture is securely attached to the implants using precision attachments, either as a snap-on (removable) or fixed option.
  5. Follow-Up and Care
    We’ll walk you through how to care for your new restoration and schedule regular dental exams to maintain your results long-term.

Snap-On vs. Fixed Dentures

We offer two styles of implant-supported dentures based on your goals and preferences:

Removable (Snap-On)

  • Attaches securely to implants with locator attachments
  • Can be removed daily for cleaning
  • Easier maintenance for some patients
  • Typically requires fewer implants (2–4 per arch)

Fixed (Non-Removable)

  • Attached permanently to implants and not removed at home
  • Feels and functions more like natural teeth
  • Requires more implants (4–6 per arch)
  • Requires professional cleaning and maintenance

Dr. Mizner will help you choose the right option based on your lifestyle, budget, and oral health.

Caring for Implant-Supported Dentures

Whether you have a fixed or removable denture, caring for your new restoration is essential for long-term success:

  • Brush and clean around the denture and implant abutments daily
  • Use water flossers or special tools for hard-to-reach areas
  • Visit us for regular cleanings and implant checks
  • Avoid smoking or tobacco use, which can interfere with implant health
  • Address any soreness or changes in fit promptly

With proper care, implant-supported dentures can last 10+ years or more.

Are implant-supported dentures better than regular dentures?

They provide greater stability, comfort, and function than traditional dentures. Patients often report better chewing, clearer speech, and more confidence with implant-supported options.

How many implants will I need?

It depends on whether you choose a fixed or removable denture. Snap-on styles usually require 2–4 implants, while fixed options may need 4–6 for full support.

Is the procedure painful?

Implant surgery is performed under anesthesia by a specialist. Discomfort after the procedure is typically mild and short-lived.

How long does the process take?

The full process may take several months from implant placement to final restoration, allowing for healing and integration of the implants.

What if I already wear dentures?

You may still be a candidate. We can often retrofit or redesign a new denture to fit over implants, improving retention and comfort.
