Tooth Replacement After Denture Failure
Boise & Meridian
When dentures no longer fit comfortably or function properly, it can impact everything from your ability to eat and speak to your self-confidence. At Treasure Valley Oral & Facial Surgery, we offer permanent and reliable options for tooth replacement after denture failure, helping patients in Boise and Meridian restore full oral function and comfort with advanced surgical solutions.
Why Dentures Fail Over Time
Traditional dentures may seem like a cost-effective solution, but over time they can become less stable and less effective. Denture failure is often the result of changes in your jawbone and oral tissues.
| • |
Bone Loss - Dentures don’t stimulate the jawbone, leading to shrinkage and poor fit.
|
| • |
Wear and Tear - Dentures deteriorate over time, affecting bite alignment and comfort.
|
| • |
Gum Irritation - Ill-fitting dentures can cause sore spots, ulcers, and inflammation.
|
| • |
Loose Fit - Movement while talking or eating can reduce confidence and function.
|
| • |
Difficulty Chewing - As fit worsens, food options become limited, impacting nutrition. |
These issues are common, but they don't have to be permanent. Implant-supported options can eliminate the instability and discomfort of failed dentures.
Implant-Based Tooth Replacement Options
If your dentures have failed, transitioning to a more secure and functional solution is possible. Our surgical team offers a range of dental implant treatments designed to replace missing teeth with long-term results.
| • |
Implant-Supported Dentures - A full denture securely anchored with 2–6 implants; removable or fixed options available.
|
| • |
All-on-4® Dental Implants - A full arch of non-removable teeth supported by just four implants.
|
| • |
Full Mouth Dental Implants - Comprehensive replacement of all upper and/or lower teeth with fixed restorations.
|
| • |
Mini Dental Implants - Less invasive option for denture stabilization, ideal for those with bone loss.
|
| • |
Implant Bridges - Replaces multiple teeth without relying on neighboring teeth for support. |
Each option is customized based on your bone structure, oral health, and personal preferences.
Benefits of Choosing Implants After Denture Failure
Dental implants provide a permanent alternative to the discomfort and limitations of dentures. They look, feel, and function like real teeth—and they can significantly enhance your quality of life.

FAQs
Can I get implants if I’ve worn dentures for years?Yes. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, options like bone grafting, All-on-4®, or mini implants may make you a good candidate for dental implants after denture failure.
How long is the recovery after implant placement?Initial healing usually takes 1–2 weeks, while full integration with the bone (osseointegration) takes 3–6 months. Temporary teeth may be placed during healing for comfort and function.
What makes implants better than dentures?Implants are fixed in the jawbone, offering superior stability, chewing strength, and aesthetics. They also help prevent bone loss, unlike dentures which sit on the gums and can accelerate jaw shrinkage.
Are implant procedures painful?The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so you’ll feel minimal discomfort during surgery. Most patients experience mild soreness afterward, manageable with medication.
