Implant-Supported Dentures
Snap-in or fixed dentures anchored by implants stay securely in place, no adhesives required.
No more slipping, sore spots, or food limitations that often come with removable dentures, and no adhesives required.
A small ball-shaped attachment sits on top of each implant. The denture has a matching O-ring that snaps over it, locking the denture firmly in place.
Routine cleanings around the implants and regular checkups of the denture and surrounding tissue will keep everything fitting and functioning well.

Implant-Supported Dentures questions, answered.
These answers cover the usual starting points. Call the office when your situation needs a more specific answer.
How do implant-supported dentures stay in place?
- A small ball-shaped attachment sits on top of each implant, and the denture has a matching O-ring that snaps over it. This locks the denture firmly in place without any adhesives.
Do implant dentures need adhesive?
- No. Because the denture snaps onto the implant attachments, it stays securely in place without adhesives, unlike traditional removable dentures.
How do I care for implant-supported dentures?
- Routine cleanings around the implants and regular checkups of the denture and surrounding tissue will keep everything fitting and functioning well. Our team will show you a home care routine that fits your denture.
Are implant-supported dentures better than regular dentures?
- Implant-supported dentures don't slip, cause sore spots, or limit what you can eat the way removable dentures often do. They anchor to implants placed in the jaw, giving you stability that removable dentures can't match on their own.
Who places implant-supported dentures at Hingham Dentistry?
- Our specialists plan and place the implants and coordinate the denture fitting in-house, so you aren't handed between separate practices. Call our Hingham office to schedule a consultation and see if implant-supported dentures are right for you.
