Implant Dentures in Denver
As technology advances, dental implant-supported dentures are a clear choice for patients looking to have dentures. Implant-supported dentures allow dentures to firmly attach to dental implants. This allows dental patients to have confidence while eating, chewing, and speaking. Implant dentures help preserve the jaw bone. Dentures depend on the jaw bone to fit comfortably. Over time, conventional denture patients lose jaw bone and gum. This loss of jaw bone mass relates to dentures becoming uncomfortable while eating, chewing, or speaking.
Adding dental implants to your dentures allows you to maintain your jaw bone and your gums. Dental implant-supported dentures can last twice as long as conventional dentures, saving you money. Mile High Dental & Implant Centers offer a wide range of dental and implant services in each one of our four Colorado locations.
What Are
Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures, or anchored dentures, are a nice middle-ground between traditional dentures and full-arch dental implants. This type of denture uses a full mouth denture, but with the added stability of dental implants. The dentures simply “snap” in place instead of using only gum suction.
Patients choose anchored dentures over traditional dentures because they provide stability, no adhesives, and are easier to take care of. Furthermore, patients choose this overdenture instead of full dental implants because they cost considerably less with a faster adjustment period.
Benefits of Snap-in Dentures
- They help preserve the jawbone. Conventional dentures lead to jawbone loss that leads to discomfort when chewing and speaking.
- They can last twice as long as traditional dentures.
- Implant dentures are removable and easy to clean.
- Denture implants function more like natural teeth with their sturdiness.
- They restore confidence in eating, chewing, speaking, and smiling.

What Are Partial Dentures?
Mile High Dental & Implant Centers in Denver, Colorado have been replacing missing teeth since opening in 1979. Our denture dentists have placed over 10,000 partial dentures in the 35+ years of our dental practice.
When you’re missing one or more teeth, the bite pressures inside the mouth change. The other teeth can start to move to compensate for the gap. This movement can also cause shrinking in the gums and jawbone.
Fortunately, partial dentures can help you avoid these issues. They’re made from removable gum-colored bases with replacement teeth attached. When our patients choose any type of partial dentures, they keep full functioning and aesthetics of their mouths.
Types of Partial Dentures
Cast Metal Removable
Implant-Supported Fixed Bridge
Flexible
Fixed Bridge
Acrylic Removable (Flipper)
Cast Metal Removable
The most common type of partial denture consists of replacement teeth on a cast metal frame. This attaches to existing teeth with metal clasps and fills in the gap with replacement teeth.
Implant-Supported Fixed Bridge
When there are at least three teeth missing in a row, a fixed bridge can be secured with dental implants on each end instead of crowns. The implants are placed directly into the jawbone, giving more stability and function.
Flexible
Flexible partial dentures are made of thin heat-sensitive plastic and are great for those who experience discomfort from cast metal or acrylic partial dentures. This type of denture is more comfortable. Gum-colored clasps fit into the natural spaces around natural teeth, creating a more realistic appearance.
Fixed Bridge
For those missing a couple of teeth, fixed bridges are a popular choice. The device has at least two crowns on each end with filler teeth in the middle, bridging it all together. The crowns are placed over the existing natural teeth, anchoring it all securely.
Acrylic Removable (Flipper)
An acrylic removable partial denture, or “flipper,” consists of replacement teeth set in a pink acrylic base. It is attached to the natural teeth with metal clasps. The acrylic base is considered bulky with the metal clasps being visible when a person talks and smiles. Usually, patients use this type of partial denture while a more permanent solution is being created.
