What Is a Fixed Implant Denture?

A fixed implant denture, sometimes called a hybrid denture, is a complete arch of replacement teeth and gums that attaches to dental implants with small screws. Unlike a regular denture, it does not rest on your gums or rely on suction. Only your dentist can take it off, usually during maintenance visits.

Why Patients Choose Fixed Implant Dentures

  • Teeth that stay put while you eat, talk, and laugh
  • An open palate on the upper arch, so food tastes and feels normal
  • Stronger biting force than a traditional denture
  • No adhesives, overnight soaking, or sore spots from rubbing
  • Support for the jawbone where implants are placed

Fixed Implant Dentures vs. Removable Dentures

There are three main ways to replace a full arch. Each has a place, and the right one depends on your bone, budget, and how you want your teeth to feel.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Fixed Implant Dentures?

Fixed implant dentures suit adults who are missing all or nearly all of the teeth in an arch, or whose remaining teeth cannot be saved. Good candidates are healthy enough for implant surgery and willing to keep up with daily cleaning and regular checkups. Even if you have worn a denture for years and lost some bone, angled implants or a small graft may still make a fixed option possible.

What Are Fixed Implant Dentures Made Of?

The teeth and gum portion are commonly made from acrylic over a strong framework or from zirconia, a tough ceramic. Acrylic is lighter on the budget and easier to repair, while zirconia resists wear and staining. Dr. Felo explains which suits your bite and your goals.

Fixed Implant Denture Cost in Roanoke

A fixed implant denture for one arch typically runs about $15,000 to $30,000 in Virginia, including the implants, the attachment parts, and the final teeth. The number of implants, any extractions or bone grafting, and your choice of material move the price up or down. You will know your fee before treatment starts.

We accept and file most private dental insurance, including Anthem Blue Cross, Guardian, Ameritas, and Principal, which may help with part of the cost. For the balance, ask about CareCredit, in-house payment plans, or our VIP Membership savings plan.

Getting a Fixed Implant Denture, Step by Step

  1. Consultation. We review your health, examine your mouth, and take digital imaging to measure your bone.
  2. Design. Dr. Felo records your bite and plans the shape and shade of your new teeth.
  3. Implant placement. Implants are placed in the arch under local anesthesia, and any remaining failing teeth are removed.
  4. Temporary teeth. You wear temporary teeth while the implants fuse with the bone over several months.
  5. Your fixed denture. The final denture is fitted, screwed into place, and adjusted for comfort.

Caring for a Fixed Implant Denture

Clean your fixed denture twice a day with a soft brush, paying close attention to where it meets the gums. A water flosser helps rinse away food from underneath. Plan on regular professional visits, where the denture may be removed, cleaned thoroughly, and checked before it is secured again.

Fixed Implant Denture FAQs

Can I take out a fixed implant denture myself?
No. It is secured with screws, so only your dentist can remove it. That is what keeps it from moving when you eat or speak.
How many implants hold a fixed implant denture?
Usually four to six per arch. Dr. Felo decides the number based on your bone and how much force your bite places on the teeth.
Is a fixed implant denture the same as All-on-4?
All-on-4 is one method of supporting a fixed implant denture with four implants. A fixed denture can also be placed on five or six implants when extra support is needed.
How long does a fixed implant denture last?
The implants can last for decades. The denture teeth wear over time and may need repairs or replacement after many years, depending on the material and your bite.
Can my old denture be used while I heal?
Sometimes. In some cases a current denture can be adjusted to serve as a temporary, and in others new temporary teeth are made. We will explain the plan for your case.
Does a fixed implant denture feel like real teeth?
Most patients say it feels much closer to natural teeth than a removable denture, because it does not move and leaves the roof of the mouth open. Expect a short adjustment period for speech and chewing.
