Implant-Secured Dentures in Murfreesboro, TN

If you’ve been living with traditional dentures, you know the struggle: slipping during meals, messy adhesives, and the ongoing worry they won’t stay in place. At Starbody Dental, we offer implant-secured dentures in Murfreesboro — a life-enhancing upgrade that gives you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without compromise.

Secure, stable, and designed to stay put, implant-supported dentures combine the affordability of dentures with the stability of dental implants — for a solution that feels closer to natural teeth.

What Are Implant-Secured Dentures?

Implant-secured dentures are custom dentures that attach to dental implants placed in your jawbone. These dentures “snap” or lock into place using specialized attachments, making them far more stable than conventional dentures.

Depending on your specific needs, implant-secured dentures can be:

  • Removable – For easier cleaning, removed nightly
  • Fixed – Permanently attached to implants and only removable by your dentist

We’ll help you decide which type fits your lifestyle, comfort, and long-term goals.

How Do Implant-Secured Dentures Work?

While traditional dentures rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives, implant-secured dentures are anchored to 2–6 titanium implants placed in the jawbone.

These implants act like tooth roots, providing:

  • A secure foundation that prevents slipping
  • Support for chewing without discomfort
  • Bone stimulation to prevent jawbone shrinkage
  • Greater confidence during meals and conversations

This treatment is ideal for patients with multiple missing teeth or those looking to stabilize their existing dentures with minimal surgery.

Benefits of Implant-Secured Dentures

Patients who switch to implant-secured dentures often say it’s the best dental decision they’ve made. Benefits include:

  • Improved Stability: No more slipping, rocking, or falling out
  • Comfort: No denture adhesive needed
  • Function: Easier chewing, clearer speech, and more food options
  • Preservation: Stimulates the jawbone to prevent future bone loss
  • Confidence: Smile, laugh, and eat in public without worry
  • Long-Term Value: Greater durability and fewer relines over time

If you’ve struggled with loose or ill-fitting dentures, this upgrade can make everyday life dramatically better.

Implant-Secured Dentures vs. All-on-4: What’s the Difference?

While both solutions use dental implants to secure full-arch tooth replacement, there are key differences:

Feature Implant-Secured Dentures All-on-4
Removable Optional No
Number of Implants 2–6 4 per arch
Cost More affordable Higher upfront investment
Bone Requirements Moderate Often possible without grafting
Maintenance Removed and cleaned daily (if removable) Cleaned like natural teeth

We’ll help you decide which solution is right based on your health, preferences, and goals.

What to Expect from the Process

At Starbody Dental, we provide implant-secured dentures from start to finish — all under one roof.

  1. Consultation & Imaging
    We use digital scans to evaluate your bone health and denture fit. If needed, we may recommend pre-treatment like extractions or grafting.
  2. Implant Placement
    Our doctors place 2–6 dental implants in the jawbone, typically under local anesthesia. Sedation is available for anxious patients.
  3. Healing Period
    Implants will integrate with your jawbone over several months. You may continue wearing your existing denture with modifications.
  4. Attachment & Fitting
    Once healed, your custom denture is fitted with special attachments that “snap” onto the implants — giving you a secure, stable smile.

Still have questions?

How many implants are needed for implant-secured dentures?

Most patients need 2–6 implants per arch, depending on whether the denture is removable or fixed. We’ll assess your case and recommend the most appropriate number.

Do implant-secured dentures come out?

They can be either removable or fixed. Removable options "snap" in and out for daily cleaning, while fixed options are secured in place and only removable by your dentist.

Are implant dentures better than regular dentures?

Yes — they offer significantly better stability, comfort, and function. They also help preserve bone, which traditional dentures cannot.

What if I’ve been wearing dentures for years?

That’s common, and many long-term denture wearers are excellent candidates for implant-secured options. We’ll evaluate your bone levels and provide options, including grafting if necessary.

Is the procedure painful?

No. Implant placement is done under local anesthesia, and many patients say it’s easier than they expected. Recovery is usually mild and manageable.

How much do implant-secured dentures cost?

The cost depends on the number of implants and the type of denture. We’ll provide a personalized quote and offer financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance.
