Implant-Supported Dentures in Stuart, FL

If you’re frustrated with loose, uncomfortable dentures, implant-supported dentures offer a stable, long-term solution. At Seaside Dentistry in Stuart, FL, we provide custom-fit, implant-supported dentures that look, feel, and function like natural teeth—giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without worry.

Unlike traditional dentures that rely on adhesives or suction, implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants, ensuring a secure fit with no slipping or irritation. Whether you need a full or partial denture, this solution provides improved comfort, stability, and jawbone health.

Implant-supported dentures offer several advantages over traditional removable dentures, including:

• Enhanced Stability – No shifting, slipping, or need for adhesives.
• Better Chewing Ability – Eat a wider variety of foods with confidence.
• Improved Speech – No more mumbling or slurred words caused by loose dentures.
• Long-Lasting Solution – Dental implants help preserve jawbone structure, preventing bone loss.
• Comfortable & Natural-Looking – Custom-designed for a seamless, comfortable fit.

Unlike conventional dentures, which rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures attach securely to dental implants placed in the jawbone. The implants serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for your dentures.

Types of Implant-Supported Dentures

At Seaside Dentistry, we offer two main types of implant-supported dentures:

• Fixed (Non-Removable) Implant Dentures – Attached permanently to implants and function like natural teeth.
• Removable Implant Dentures – Snap onto implants for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Dr. William F. Seefried, Jr. will help you choose the best option based on your oral health, lifestyle, and personal preferences.

Consultation & 3D Imaging

During your initial visit, Dr. Seefried will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including 3D CT scanning and digital impressions, to assess your jawbone density and determine the best treatment plan.

Dental Implant Placement

Using precise techniques, dental implants are placed into the jawbone. Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the bone, creating a strong foundation for the denture.

Custom Denture Design

We work with our in-house dental lab to craft custom-fitted dentures that match your facial structure and preferences.

Denture Attachment

Once healing is complete, your custom dentures are securely attached to the implants, restoring your full smile and function.
