Transform your denture experience with implant dentures at Dent Leon in İzmir, Turkey, where 2 to 4 strategically placed dental implants provide secure anchoring for your removable denture, eliminating the slipping, movement, and discomfort associated with traditional dentures while maintaining the convenience of a removable appliance you can take out for cleaning.
Implant dentures, also known as implant-supported overdentures or snap-on dentures, are removable complete dentures that attach to 2 to 4 dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that rest entirely on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives, implant dentures use special retention mechanisms such as ball attachments, locator attachments, or bar systems that create a secure connection between the implants and the denture. The most common configuration uses two implants in the lower jaw with locator attachments, though four implants with a bar provide even greater stability. This design dramatically improves retention and prevents the rocking, sliding, and lifting movements that traditional denture wearers experience during eating and speaking.
The key advantage of implant dentures is their hybrid nature, offering a practical middle ground between conventional dentures and fixed implant restorations like All-on-4. They cost 40 to 60% less than fixed solutions because fewer implants are required and the prosthesis is simpler acrylic construction. Being removable, they’re easy to clean, you simply take them out daily to brush and maintain, then clean around the implant posts. Yet despite this removability, they restore 70 to 80% of natural chewing force compared to only 25 to 30% with traditional dentures, allowing patients to eat confidently without denture displacement. The treatment timeline is typically 3 to 6 months from implant placement to final denture delivery, making implant dentures an excellent choice for patients seeking significant improvement in denture function and stability at a moderate investment level.

What’s included in Dent Leon’s implant dentures price:
Our comprehensive packages cover consultation with 3D imaging and treatment planning, 2 or 4 premium implant fixtures with attachment components (ball, locator, or bar system), surgical implant placement procedure, healing period monitoring, new precision denture fabricated with attachment housings or modification of existing denture when appropriate, all adjustments and follow-up appointments, and lifetime warranty on implant fixtures. International patients receive complimentary airport transfers, hotel booking assistance, and dedicated coordinator support.
1. Evaluation and Treatment Planning
Clinical examination and 3D imaging assess jawbone dimensions and determine optimal implant positions. We discuss attachment types (ball, locator, or bar) and whether your existing denture can be converted or if a new one is needed.
2. Implant Placement Surgery
Under local anesthesia, 2 to 4 implants are placed in strategic positions for maximum stability. The minimally invasive procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes.
3. Healing Period with Temporary Denture
You’ll wear your existing denture or a temporary denture during the 8 to 16 week osseointegration period while implants fuse with bone.
4. Attachment Installation
Once implants are integrated, attachment components (balls, locators, or bar framework) are connected to the implants. Impressions are taken if a new denture is being made.
5. Denture Fabrication or Conversion
A new precision denture with metal housings is fabricated, or your existing denture is retrofitted with special rubber or nylon inserts that snap onto the implant attachments.
6. Final Fitting and Adjustments
The completed implant denture is fitted and adjusted for optimal retention, comfort, and function. You’ll receive instructions on insertion, removal, and maintenance.
Ideal candidates include patients currently wearing complete dentures who struggle with instability (especially lower dentures), those with moderate bone loss where fixed implants would require extensive grafting, individuals seeking dramatic functional improvement at moderate investment, or edentulous patients wanting better chewing ability without fixed prosthesis complexity. Bone requirements are modest, typically needing 10mm height and 5mm width at implant sites, making implant dentures viable for many who couldn’t accommodate full arch fixed solutions. General health should allow minor oral surgery, with well-managed chronic conditions acceptable. Age must be 18+ with no upper limit. Lifestyle factors matter, with commitment to daily denture removal and cleaning essential, along with regular professional maintenance. Not ideal for patients seeking absolutely fixed teeth (All-on-4 is better), those with extreme bone loss requiring grafting anyway, or individuals unable to manage removable appliance care. Realistic expectations about removability and occasional need for attachment maintenance (rubber O-rings may need replacement every 1 to 2 years) are important.

Implant dentures use special attachment mechanisms (ball, locator, or bar systems) that create a positive retention lock between the implants and the denture. Think of it like snaps on clothing. When you insert the denture, it clicks firmly onto the implant attachments and stays securely in place during eating, speaking, and laughing. While they’re far more stable than traditional dentures, they’re not permanently fixed like All-on-4; you can intentionally remove them with a firm pull, but they won’t accidentally slip or fall out during normal function.
Best practice is to remove your implant denture at least once daily, typically before bed, for thorough cleaning. You’ll clean the denture with a soft brush and mild soap or denture cleaner, rinse the attachment housings, and brush around the implant posts in your mouth. Some patients prefer to remove their denture after meals for rinsing, while others keep it in throughout the day and only remove it at night. The key is establishing a consistent cleaning routine that maintains both the denture and implant hygiene.
While it’s physically possible to sleep with your implant denture in place, dental professionals generally recommend removing it at night. This allows your gum tissues to rest and breathe, improves oral hygiene by enabling thorough cleaning, and gives you the opportunity to soak the denture overnight. However, some patients, particularly those new to dentures or feeling self-conscious, prefer wearing them 24/7 initially. Discuss your preferences with your dentist to develop the healthiest routine for your situation.
In many cases, yes. If your current denture fits reasonably well and is in good condition (not cracked or excessively worn), it can often be retrofitted with metal housings that accommodate the implant attachments. This saves the considerable cost of fabricating an entirely new denture. However, if your existing denture is old, poorly fitting, damaged, or made before bone loss significantly changed your ridge shape, a new precision denture designed specifically for implant support will deliver better results. Your dentist will evaluate your current denture and recommend the best approach.
The difference is often described as life-changing. Traditional denture wearers typically avoid many foods (tough meats, fresh vegetables, apples, corn on the cob, sticky foods) due to inadequate stability and chewing power. Implant denture users can eat most of these previously forbidden foods comfortably and confidently. While you still won’t match the chewing efficiency of natural teeth or fixed implant bridges, implant dentures restore 70 to 80% of natural chewing force compared to only 25 to 30% with traditional dentures, dramatically expanding your dietary choices and nutritional options.
We offer a variety of dental treatments including dental implants, invisalign, non-prep veneers, crowns, composite bonding etc.
