If you’re missing teeth, you already know how much it can impact your daily life—from chewing your favorite foods to speaking with confidence. At our comprehensive airway-centric dental practice, we’re proud to offer modern tooth replacement options that not only restore function and aesthetics but also help support long-term oral and overall health. One of the most effective options we provide is locator dentures.
Locator dentures are a type of implant-supported overdenture that use a unique “locator” attachment system to securely hold your denture in place. Unlike traditional removable dentures, which can slip or shift, locator dentures “snap” onto small implants placed in the jaw. This creates a secure, stable fit while still allowing the dentures to be removed for easy cleaning.
The process begins with placing a few small implants into the jawbone. Once the implants heal and integrate with the bone, a custom denture is created with locator attachments that “snap” onto the implants. This creates a balance of stability and convenience—you get the security of implants with the flexibility of a removable denture.
Locator dentures are a great option for patients who:
1. Have multiple missing teeth or currently wear traditional dentures.
2. Want a more stable and functional solution without the cost of a full mouth of implants.
3. Seek a treatment that supports oral health, nutrition, and airway wellness.
At our practice, we take a whole-health approach to dentistry. We understand that your oral health is deeply connected to your airway, breathing, and overall well-being. When planning locator dentures, we evaluate not only your teeth and gums but also how your treatment will support your bite, facial structure, and long-term airway health.
If you’re tired of struggling with loose dentures or missing teeth, locator dentures may be the solution you’ve been waiting for. Schedule a consultation with our team today to learn more about how we can restore your smile, improve your comfort, and support your long-term health.
