Implant-Supported Dentures in West Long Branch, NJ

At Damurjian & Nasr Dentistry, we proudly offer modern, patient-centered solutions for full-arch tooth loss—including implant-supported dentures. Backed by advanced restorative techniques and years of clinical excellence, our practice is trusted by patients across West Long Branch, Hoboken, Princeton, Summit/Short Hills, and Jersey City who are looking for lasting, functional alternatives to traditional dentures.

Unlike conventional removable dentures, implant-supported dentures are secured directly to dental implants anchored in the jawbone. This makes them exceptionally stable, natural-feeling, and far less likely to slip, shift, or cause irritation.

Whether you’re exploring this option for the first time or looking to upgrade from a removable denture, our team—including Dr. Robert J. Damurjian and Dr. Mark A. Nasr—is here to help you rediscover your smile with confidence.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are custom prosthetics that snap onto or screw into dental implants for maximum stability and retention. They replace all the teeth in an upper or lower arch using as few as 2 to 6 implants per jaw.

There are two main types:

• Bar-Retained or Snap-On Dentures – These attach to a bar or ball system and can be removed for cleaning.
• Fixed Implant Dentures – These are permanently secured to the implants and removed only by your dentist.

Each option is designed to restore full chewing function, prevent bone loss, and dramatically improve facial support and speech—all with a look and feel that closely mimics natural teeth.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

• Stronger bite force for easier chewing of all foods
• Greater comfort without adhesive or slipping
• Helps maintain jawbone and facial structure
• Improved speech clarity and facial aesthetics
• Reduced pressure on gums and soft tissues
• Long-term durability and functionality

If you've struggled with loose-fitting dentures or are just beginning to explore full-mouth tooth replacement, implant-supported dentures may be the right fit for your lifestyle.

Our Implant Denture Process

We follow a carefully coordinated treatment plan to ensure long-term success:

1. Consultation & Imaging
   We begin with a full evaluation, including 3D digital scans to assess bone quality and plan implant placement.
2. Implant Placement
   Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. Depending on the case, we may recommend bone grafting or ridge augmentation beforehand.
3. Healing & Integration
   A healing period of several months allows implants to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
4. Denture Design & Placement
   Once healed, we place custom digital dentures or full & partial dentures securely onto the implants.
5. Final Adjustments
   We'll ensure optimal fit, bite, and function before finalizing your case.

We also offer oral surgery and sedation dentistry options, including oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide, to make your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may benefit from implant-supported dentures if:

• You're missing most or all teeth in one or both arches
• You have sufficient jawbone volume (or are open to grafting)
• You're seeking more comfort and stability than traditional dentures
• You want a long-term solution that won’t shift or require adhesive
• You're generally healthy enough for minor oral surgery

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, schedule a consultation and we’ll evaluate your options—potentially combining your treatment with full mouth reconstruction when needed.
