Implant-Supported Dentures in Clifton, NJ, For A Confident Everyday Smile
Tired of loose dentures or gaps in your smile? At Harmony Dental Arts in Clifton, we use modern implant dentures to give you stable teeth that feel secure when you eat, talk and laugh.
What are Implant-Supported Dentures in Clifton, NJ?
Implant-supported dentures are dentures that “lock in” to small dental implants instead of resting on your gums alone. The implants act like artificial roots, so your denture feels stable and secure.
We offer several options, including snap-on dentures, permanent implant dentures, fixed implant dentures, and full-arch implant dentures. Together we pick the style that fits your mouth, budget and daily routine.
Who should get Implant-Supported Dentures in Clifton, NJ?
You may be a good fit if you are missing many or all of your teeth and your current dentures feel loose, rub your gums or move when you speak. Many of our Clifton patients come to us because they want to chew better and feel less self-conscious.
Implant-retained dentures are also a strong option if you are tired of denture adhesives or worry about dentures slipping at work, with friends, or at family gatherings. We look at your bone, gums and health history, then guide you to the right level of denture stabilization implants.
How it works (process timeline)
We keep the process clear and step-by-step so you always know what comes next. Our goal is a stable, natural-looking smile that fits your bite and your lifestyle.
Step-by-step process:
- Step 1: Consultation and 3D imaging: We start with a full exam, digital X-rays and photos. We talk about your goals, review denture implant costs, and discuss options like all-on-4 dentures vs. removable snap-on dentures.
- Step 2: Custom treatment plan: We map out how many implants you need, which arch we are treating, and which type of implant dentures best fit you. You get a clear timeline, fees and payment options before we start.
- Step 3: Implant placement: Small titanium implants are placed into the jawbone where there are gaps from missing teeth. Most patients say they feel pressure more than pain, and we offer comfort options to help you relax.
- Step 4: Healing and temporary teeth: Over the next few months, your bone will bond to the implants. During this time, you wear a temporary denture or an adjusted existing denture so you can smile and function while everything heals.
- Step 5: Snap or fix your new denture: Once the implants are stable, we attach your new custom implant-supported denture. Depending on the plan, it can be a snap-on denture that clicks on and off, or a fixed implant denture that stays in place and is removed only by our dental team.
- Step 6: Fine-tuning your bite and smile: We adjust the fit, bite and appearance so eating feels natural and your smile looks like you. We then set up regular visits to keep everything healthy long term.
Safety + Longevity
At Harmony Dental Arts, safety starts with planning. We use digital imaging and careful measurements, so implants sit in healthy bone, away from nerves and sinuses. Our doctors follow strict sterilization and infection control for every visit.
With good home care and regular checkups, implant-supported dentures can last many years. The implants themselves are designed for long-term wear, and if the denture teeth eventually show wear or stain, we can refresh or remake the top part while keeping the stable implants in place.

What Our Patients Are Saying
FAQs
Denture implant costs can vary based on how many implants you need, which jaw we treat and the type of denture you choose. At your consultation, we give you a detailed written estimate and discuss financing so you know exactly what to expect.
Regular dentures rest on your gums, and they might shift or rub, leading to some discomfort. Implant-retained dentures connect to implants placed in your jaw, which gives much better stability when you bite into food or speak. Patients often say they feel far more secure.
4 dentures are usually a fixed implant denture option. The full-arch implant denture is attached to four or more implants and stays in place, while we remove it during professional visits as needed.
Age alone does not rule you out. We look at bone quality, medical history and your goals. Many older patients in Clifton have done very well with denture stabilization implants and tell us they wish they had done it sooner.
The full process can take a few months, since the implants need time to heal in the bone. During that time, we keep you on temporary teeth so you can smile and function. At your first visit, we go over your specific timeline so you know the steps from start to finish.
