Implant Retained Dentures in Raleigh NC

Secure, removable dentures that snap into place.

If your dentures are slipping, clicking, or causing discomfort, implant retained dentures may be the secure, confidence-boosting solution you’ve been searching for. At NewStart Denture + Implant Partners in Raleigh, we restore dental implants with beautifully crafted snap-in dentures that are more stable than traditional options — and still removable for cleaning and comfort.

What Are Implant Retained Dentures?

Implant retained dentures — commonly known as snap-in dentures — are dentures that attach to dental implants via special connectors (locators or attachments). They “snap” onto the implants, providing improved stability and retention while remaining removable for easy care.

This solution is ideal for patients seeking:

• More secure dentures
• Improved chewing and speaking
• Less irritation and fewer sore spots
• Greater confidence in social settings
• An upgrade from loose-fitting traditional dentures

We partner with trusted oral surgeons in Raleigh to place the implants, then design and fit the final denture restoration right here at our office.

How They Work

1. Implant Placement
   A local oral surgeon places 2–4 implants into your jawbone. Healing time typically ranges from 3–6 months.
2. Custom Denture Design
   Once healed, we digitally design your implant-retained denture to match your gums, bite, and smile preferences.
3. Attachment Fittings
   Special attachments inside the denture allow it to securely snap onto the implants — no adhesives needed.
4. Removability
   You can remove the denture yourself for cleaning while enjoying excellent retention throughout the day.
