Implant-Supported Dentures in Downtown Chicago, IL
Traditional dentures can do an acceptable job of replacing missing teeth, but most patients quickly discover their limitations: slipping during meals, sore spots along the gums, muffled speech, and the slow collapse of the jawbone that changes the shape of the face over time. Implant-supported dentures solve all of that by anchoring a custom denture to small titanium implants placed directly into the jawbone, giving you the stability of fixed teeth with the convenience of a modern prosthetic.
At EVER Dental Studio, Dr. Renee Alhakim designs implant-supported dentures in downtown Chicago for patients who want a secure, natural-feeling replacement for a full arch of missing or failing teeth. Our studio sits on Michigan Avenue overlooking Millennium Park, and we pair advanced implant planning with the facially driven cosmetic approach that defines our dental implants program. The result is a denture that stays put, looks remarkably natural, and preserves the underlying bone structure for years to come.
How Implant-Supported Dentures Actually Work
An implant-supported denture is anchored to two or more dental implants using either a bar, a series of locator attachments, or a direct screw connection, depending on your anatomy and preferences. Some are designed to snap in and out for cleaning, while others are fixed in place and only removed by the dentist. Both approaches dramatically improve chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and confidence compared to conventional removable dentures.
According to a study published in Frontiers in Dental Medicine, implant-supported prostheses stimulate alveolar bone growth in edentulous patients, which is one of the major reasons why implant-supported dentures have become the preferred long-term solution for edentulous and nearly edentulous patients
Removable Versus Fixed Options
Snap-in overdentures give you a stable, comfortable fit that is easy to remove for home cleaning, while fixed implant bridges stay in at all times and feel the closest to having your own teeth. During your consultation, Dr. Renee will walk through the pros, costs, and long-term maintenance of each option so you can choose the design that fits your lifestyle.
Why Downtown Chicago Patients Trust EVER Dental Studio
Our Loop location on North Michigan Avenue is convenient whether you are commuting from River North, the West Loop, Streeterville, or further out along the CTA. Inside, we have intentionally designed a calm, modern space that does not feel like a standard dental office, and every appointment is built around the needs of the person in the chair.
Dr. Renee Alhakim earned her dental degree from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry and has completed more than 300 hours of continuing education in cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry, with clinical cases published through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. That foundation of technical skill and artistry allows us to design implant-supported dentures that do more than just function; they flatter the face. You can read more about her background on the page for Dr. Renee Alhakim.
What to Expect from the Treatment Process
Every implant-supported denture case at our studio follows a predictable, well-planned sequence that is tailored to your anatomy and goals. Here is how a typical treatment unfolds:
- Comprehensive evaluation: We review your oral health, existing teeth, and jawbone using 3D CBCT imaging and digital scans.
- Treatment planning: We map out implant positions, discuss removable versus fixed options, and preview the final aesthetics digitally.
- Implant placement: Two to six implants are placed using computer-guided surgery for accuracy and minimally invasive healing.
- Denture delivery: After osseointegration, your custom denture is secured to the implants and fine-tuned for bite, fit, and appearance.
Bone grafting is sometimes needed before implants can be placed, particularly for patients who have been wearing traditional dentures for many years. We handle grafting in-house and coordinate closely with a trusted periodontist in our building when advanced procedures like sinus lifts are required. For more complex cases involving multiple restorative needs, we often integrate implant-supported dentures with full mouth rehabilitation or dental crowns on remaining teeth.
