Implant-Supported Dentures in Winston-Salem, NC

If you’re tired of dentures that slip, rub, or limit what you eat, there’s a better way. Implant-supported dentures offer the perfect blend of comfort and confidence — giving you a secure, natural-feeling smile that won’t move when you talk or chew.

At Trenton B. Bottoms, DDS, we provide full-service implant-supported dentures in Winston-Salem, combining advanced implant technology with custom prosthetics — all under one roof. Dr. Bottoms has advanced training in surgical implant placement and restorative care, so you’ll never need to bounce between specialists.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are full-arch prosthetics that attach directly to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Instead of resting on your gums or relying on adhesives, these dentures snap or clip onto the implants for a secure, stable fit.

Depending on your needs, these dentures can be:

• Removable (Snap-On): Can be removed at home for easy cleaning but stay firmly attached while in use
  
• Fixed (Permanent): Stay in place and can only be removed by your dentist — designed to function like natural teeth
  

Both options significantly increase chewing power, comfort, and confidence compared to traditional removable dentures.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

• No slipping, clicking, or adhesives
  
• Eat more foods with ease and comfort
  
• Preserve jawbone and facial structure
  
• Reduce sore spots and pressure on gums
  
• Custom fit for comfort and aesthetics
  
• Improves speech and self-confidence
  
• Fewer adjustments than conventional dentures
  

If you’ve been searching for a dentist near me to help you upgrade from loose dentures to a more secure solution, Dr. Bottoms can walk you through the best implant options for your needs.

Are Implant-Supported Dentures Right for You?

You may be a great candidate if you:

• Are missing all or most teeth in one or both arches
  
• Are dissatisfied with the fit or function of your current dentures
  
• Have adequate bone structure for implants (or are open to bone grafting)
  
• Want a secure, long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures
  
• Prefer a smile that looks and feels more like natural teeth
  

We’ll evaluate your oral health, jawbone, and goals with a full exam and 3D imaging to determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you.

Our Process for Implant Denture Treatment

1. Consultation & 3D Imaging
   We begin with a detailed exam, digital X-rays, and a CBCT scan to plan the best implant placement for long-term success.
   
2. Treatment Planning
   You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan outlining the number of implants needed, your restoration type (fixed or removable), and expected timelines.
   
3. Implant Placement
   Dr. Bottoms will place 2 to 6 implants per arch depending on the case. Sedation options are available for comfort.
   
4. Healing & Temporary Denture
   You may wear a temporary denture while the implants heal and integrate with your bone over several months.
   
5. Final Attachment
   Once healed, your final custom denture is securely attached — offering long-term stability and function.
