At Parkway Dental Care, we understand that dentures are a life-changing solution for many, but when they don’t fit securely, they can cause discomfort and limit your confidence. If you’re struggling with loose or ill-fitting dentures, denture stabilization could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Our advanced stabilization techniques ensure your dentures stay securely in place, allowing you to enjoy life with greater comfort, improved functionality, and enhanced confidence.
Denture stabilization involves the use of implants placed in the mouth to securely hold dentures in position. While single-tooth implants are commonly used for individual replacements, stabilized dentures provide an effective solution when multiple teeth need to be replaced.
Also referred to as stud-attachment dentures, ball-retained dentures use implants placed into the jawbone with metal connectors. These connectors on the implants fit into corresponding attachments on the dentures.
In most cases, the implant attachments will be ball-shaped, while the denture attachments are socket-shaped, creating a secure fit as the ball slides into the socket. Although there are some variations, this ball-and-socket mechanism is the core design of this system.
In contrast, bar-retained dentures require a minimum of two to five implants placed in the jawbone, which are connected by a curved metal bar that follows the shape of the jawline. This bar supports the denture, and attachments on the implants, the denture, or both collaborate to ensure a stable and secure fit.
You could benefit from denture stabilization in Kissimmee, FL, in any of the following scenarios:
Over time, traditional dentures may become loose due to changes in the shape of your jawbone and gums. This can cause discomfort and create difficulty in eating or speaking confidently. Denture stabilization ensures a secure fit and better functionality.
If your dentures shift or slip while chewing, it can make daily activities challenging. Stabilization with implants helps keep dentures in place, allowing you to eat and speak more easily. This offers a more natural and comfortable experience.
Feeling self-conscious because your dentures move or slip out of place in public situations is common. Denture stabilization provides peace of mind, ensuring your dentures stay secure so you can enjoy social interactions without worry.
If you rely on denture adhesives to keep your dentures in place but struggle with an unpleasant taste or constant reapplication, stabilization can eliminate the need for adhesives. Implants keep your dentures firmly in position, improving comfort and convenience.
Following tooth extraction, jawbone loss is a common issue, making dentures harder to fit over time. Stabilization with implants can help preserve jawbone structure and provide a secure, comfortable denture fit, preventing further bone loss.
When dentures don’t fit properly, they can cause sore spots or irritation in the mouth. Stabilized dentures prevent this discomfort by ensuring a more precise fit, making them more comfortable for all-day wear.
Traditional dentures may not provide the best solution for individuals with several missing teeth. Denture stabilization through implants offers a more secure and effective option, ensuring a comfortable fit that restores full dental function.
Here's how denture stabilization typically works:
The process begins with a consultation with your dentist at Parkway Dental Care. Our dentist will do a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health. Based on this assessment, we will recommend the best denture stabilization method.
During a surgical procedure, dental implants are placed into your jawbone. These implants are small titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots, providing a foundation for your dentures. Over time, the implants fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring a secure and stable hold.
Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, your dentures are attached using specialized connectors. These can be ball-retained (where the implants have ball-shaped attachments that fit into matching sockets on the dentures) or bar-retained (where a curved metal bar connects several implants, and the dentures snap onto them).
After your dentures are securely stabilized, follow-up visits are important to ensure the fit remains comfortable. Your dentist will monitor the implants and dentures to make any necessary adjustments and ensure optimal performance.

On average, the cost can range from:
Ball-Retained Dentures: Typically, the cost for ball-retained denture stabilization can range from $2,000 to $5,000 per arch, depending on the number of implants required.
Bar-Retained Dentures: For bar-retained dentures, which involve multiple implants and a more complex system, the cost can range from $5,000 to $15,000 per arch.
These prices generally include the cost of implants, surgical placement, and the dentures themselves. Additional costs may apply for consultations, X-rays, and follow-up care

Yes, you can and should continue to brush your teeth after a root canal. However, be gentle around the treated area to avoid any discomfort.
The denture stabilization procedure can take several months, with the implant placement surgery taking 1-2 hours, followed by a healing period of 3-6 months before attaching the dentures. The entire process includes healing time for optimal results.
