Denture Implants
Losing even one tooth can be stressful. When you're missing most or all of your teeth, though, you may feel completely helpless.
Years of life-changing advances in dentistry mean that you have hope for a functional new smile. How? With implant-retained overdentures.
Dr. Kam Mohager places this removable yet stable restoration at Advanced Dentistry & Implants in Littleton, CO. Read on to learn more.
Understanding the Types Of Dentures
There are three main types of dentures. They are most easily differentiated by the method used for their attachment. Below, we'll walk through each type of denture — and how to tell them apart.
Traditional dentures are removable false teeth. They fit over your gums, offering a brand-new smile. Though often the most affordable option, they have a few disadvantages, such as the potential to slip out of place.
Implant-supported dentures are firmly fixed into your jaw with dental implants, or artificial tooth roots. These implants are attached to the dentures, giving you a smile that looks just like your natural teeth.
An implant-retained overdenture combines the best of traditional and implant-supported dentures. It's removable for easy flexibility and cleaning. It also offers improved support, retention, and stability.
The Benefits Of Implant-Retained Overdentures
Unlike a regular denture, an implant-retained overdenture is a type of removable denture supported by implants and affixed to special implant attachments. It offers many benefits compared to traditional dentures, like:
Better Fit
Unlike traditional dentures, implant-retained overdentures will not slip or slide. That means easier chewing and talking, too.
More Comfort
Traditional dentures can rub uncomfortably against your gums, while implant-retained overdentures are held firmly in place.
Improved Biocompatibility
Dental adhesives cause irritation for some patients. Our implant-retained overdentures skip the adhesive, and use biocompatible Neodent® dental implants.
Less Bone Loss
Bone loss in the jaw can cause a sunken or aged appearance. Thankfully, stable implants can prevent this.
Minimal Implants For Maximum Results
You don't need an implant per tooth with implant-retained overdentures. These dentures may use as few as two to four implants per full arch.
This can save you money, since implants typically aren't covered by insurance.
It can also mean less time spent in the dentist's chair and less time spent healing. Contact our helpful team in Littleton to explore the options of your case.

Choose a Dentist Committed to Continuing Education
It can be hard finding someone you trust with your teeth. Our dentist understands this struggle — and has training that can put you at ease.
After earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, Dr. Kam Mohager continued to learn about oral implantology during a fellowship at the California Implant Institute.
He believes in bringing a high standard of care to his practice, especially as the dental field advances rapidly. That's why he stays up-to-date on new technologies and techniques by pursuing continuing education.

Dr. Kam & Dani are amazing!
They both were extremely welcoming and kind during mine & my husband’s visit. From start to finish we both felt taken care of and comfortable. They were very transparent about everything they were going to do before doing it, and let us know insurance coverage and costs well in advance as well.
We would highly recommend this practice to anyone we know!

That's because they:
Your dental implants can remain strong and stable for the rest of your life. Take care of them properly, and you'll likely never need to replace them.
Dental implants can make dentures patients feel confident again. They don't have to worry about slipping dentures or less natural-looking results.
After spending so much time with decayed or missing teeth, you may have forgotten what it's like to live without worry. Implant-supported dentures allow you to enjoy the simple acts you've been missing.
Implants are simple and easy to care for, requiring about the same amount and type of care you're used to. Brush, floss, and visit your dentist regularly for the best results.
Dentures Can Be Discreet
With the Help of Dental Implants
Loose, uncomfortable dentures aren't the only option. We use Neodent® dental implants to fuse with your jawbone and gums for long-lasting security. They can fix your dentures in place, replacing the roots of a tooth. That way, you can eat, smile, and talk just like you used to.
Implants Changed This Littleton, CO, Patient's Life
"If you want the job done right, Dr. Kam is your guy. I called from the parking lot of a grocery store almost in tears and to my surprise, his staff immediately got to work taking x-rays, asking questions and making me feel like there was hope after all... He got to work on what he does best, implants. He was so skilled that he conquered installing 5 implants in one sitting... I now have a full set of teeth which not only look as natural as my teenage years, but I also can't stop smiling because of how healthy my mouth feels. I'm excited to brush and floss regularly again and eating is once again pleasurable... Rest assured that this fantastic human comes highly recommended and his amazing staff is top notch. Do yourself a favor and entrust the health of your mouth to this highly competent and skilled physician." Darian Sixx
