Fix loose dentures in Westport, Kansas City
Dentures that slip, click or rub don’t have to be your normal. Implants can hold your teeth securely in place.
Read our patient reviews on GoogleWhy dentures get loose
Teeth that stay put.
Traditional dentures rest on your gums, so they can slip when you eat or talk, and they often loosen over time as the jawbone underneath changes. Implant-supported dentures lock onto implants placed in the jaw, so they stay put. With All-on-X, four to six implants hold a full arch of teeth, and many patients get temporary teeth the same day. Implants are placed on site by our oral surgeons.

See everyone →Can my dentures be attached to implants?
Implant-supported dentures lock onto implants placed in your jaw. We’ll check whether your current denture can be adapted or whether you need a new one.
What is All-on-X?
A full-arch replacement that uses four to six angled implants to support a whole arch of teeth, often without bone grafting.
Can I get teeth the same day?
With All-on-X, many patients can get a set of temporary teeth the same day as their procedure.
How long do implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans and work with most dental insurance providers, and we’ll go over the cost before you start.
