More Stable, More Comfortable, More Confident with Dr. William Sung DMD
Implant-Supported Dentures at Grand Mission
If you have been living with a conventional denture that slips, causes soreness, or limits what you can eat, implant-supported dentures change the experience entirely. Two to four dental implants placed in the jawbone act as anchors that lock your denture in place, eliminating movement, improving chewing strength, and preserving the bone that conventional dentures slowly erode. The denture still comes out for cleaning, but it clicks firmly into place for everything else. At Grand Mission, Dr. William Sung places the implants and fits the denture entirely in house so your full treatment is coordinated by one doctor who knows your case from start to finish.
Types of Implant-Supported Dentures Available at Grand Mission
The right option depends on how many teeth are missing, your bone density, your budget, and how much stability you want. Dr. Sung walks you through every option at your consultation.
When some natural teeth remain, a partial denture anchored to implants provides better stability and less reliance on remaining teeth as support. Reduces stress on adjacent teeth and significantly improves chewing function compared to a conventional partial.
For patients who want a permanently fixed, non-removable full arch restoration, All-on-X uses four to six implants to support a bridge that never comes out. The most stable option available. See the full All-on-X page for details.

| Bone Preservation | ❌ Bone loss continues | ✅ Implants preserve bone | ✅ Implants preserve bone |
| Adhesives Required | ❌ Often needed | ✅ Not required | ✅ Never |
| Removable | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes, for cleaning | ❌ Fixed permanently |
| Chewing Function | ⚠️ Limited compared to natural | ✅ Significantly better | ✅ Closest to natural teeth |
| Cost Upfront | ✅ Lowest | ⚠️ Moderate | ❌ Highest |
| Long-Term Value | ⚠️ Replacement every 5 to 7 years | ✅ Implants last decades | ✅ Most cost-effective long term |
| Best For | ✅ Budget-focused, non-surgical | ✅ Improved stability without full arch | ✅ Maximum function and permanence |
Are You a Candidate for Implant-Supported Dentures?
You May Be a Good Candidate for Conventional Dentures If You:
Wear a conventional denture that slips, causes sore spots, or limits your diet
Are missing all or most teeth in one or both arches
Have adequate bone density to support two to four implants
Want better stability and function without committing to a fully fixed restoration
You May Need Preparation First If You:
Have significant bone loss that requires grafting before implant placement
Have uncontrolled gum disease or active infection at the implant sites
Have uncontrolled diabetes, heavy tobacco use, or conditions that affect healing
Have been wearing dentures for many years, which often means significant bone loss is present and may require evaluation
The Implant-Supported Denture Process at Grand Mission
Comprehensive 3D Evaluation
Cone beam CT imaging maps your bone density, nerve locations, and jaw anatomy. This determines how many implants are appropriate, where they should be placed, and whether any preparatory treatment is needed first.
Implant Placement
Two to four titanium implants are placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation. Your existing denture is adjusted for temporary use during healing. Most patients return to normal activity within a few days.
Osseointegration
Over three to six months the implants fuse with your jawbone. This biological process is what gives the denture its secure snap-in stability and bone-preserving properties.
Attachment Fitting and Final Delivery
Once osseointegration is confirmed, the attachment components are incorporated into your denture. Dr. Sung fits and adjusts the connection until the snap-in feel is secure and comfortable. You leave knowing exactly how to place, remove, and care for your new restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions About implant suppored dentures
What is an implant-supported denture?
An implant-supported denture is a removable denture that snaps onto two to four dental implants placed in the jawbone. The implants act as anchors that eliminate denture movement, dramatically improve chewing function, preserve jawbone, and eliminate the need for adhesives. The denture still comes out for cleaning but clicks firmly into place for all other activities.
How is an implant-supported denture different from All-on-X?
Both use dental implants. The key difference is that an implant-supported overdenture is removable and typically uses two to four implants. All-on-X is a permanently fixed full arch restoration that never comes out and typically uses four to six implants. Implant overdentures are more affordable and are still removable. All-on-X provides maximum stability and function. Dr. Sung explains both options at your consultation.
How much do implant-supported dentures cost in Texas?
Most two-implant overdentures range from $3,500 to $6,500 per arch. Four-implant configurations range from $6,000 to $10,000. Grand Mission offers 0% APR financing with most patients paying $200 to $500 per month.
Can I get implant-supported dentures if I have bone loss?
Often yes, but significant bone loss may require grafting before implant placement. Patients who have worn conventional dentures for many years often have measurable ridge resorption. Dr. Sung evaluates your bone with 3D imaging and tells you honestly what preparation is needed and what your options are.
Do implant-supported dentures feel different from conventional dentures?
Significantly different. Implant overdenture patients consistently report better stability, comfort, chewing ability, and confidence compared to conventional dentures. Clinical research shows implant overdenture patients require 42% fewer chewing strokes for the same food reduction and report dramatically higher satisfaction across every quality-of-life measure.
