Tired of dentures? Dental implants can change it all.
If you rely on dentures and struggle with slipping, sore spots, or sticky adhesives that don’t get the job done, dental implants can offer a secure alternative.
Can dental implants replace dentures completely?
In many cases, yes.
Unlike traditional dentures, a full arch of replacement teeth is anchored by implants that are placed directly into the jawbone, offering a secure solution with improved chewing, security and confidence.
Options include:
-
removable, implant-secured full-arch denture (or ‘overdenture’) with snap-in feature
-
permanent, fixed full arch of replacement teeth, with screw-in feature
Both options improve stability and confidence, and eliminate the need for adhesives.
And since dental implants stimulate the jawbone, they help preserve facial support, preventing the “sunken” facial appearance typical with traditional dentures.
Many adults and seniors qualify.
A good candidate is a healthy adult or senior who desires improved stability, comfort, and chewing function. The selection of implant solutions is a function of factors including:
-
Bone density and areas with sufficient bone
-
Treatment goals
- Financial capacity
A three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (3D CBCT) is necessary to evaluate the bone quality, need for bone grafting, and optimal placement of dental implants.
Because the dental implants that secure a full arch of replacement teeth are anchored in your jawbone, they provide stability and security that’s lacking with traditional dentures.
This means that, once the implant healing phase is complete, you’ll be able to eat foods that may have once been challenging, such as:
- Proteins: Steak, grilled chicken, pork chops
- Crunchy foods: Apples, carrots, nuts
- Chewy foods: Corn on the cob, bagels, sandwiches
With your fully integrated implant-supported teeth, you should be able to eat the foods you love with ease and confidence.
See why people throughout LaSalle County, Illinois and Grundy County, Illinois— from Streator IL, to Sheridan IL, Morris IL, to Peru IL— seek out Dr. Sam Simos and his expertise in Ottawa IL, for long-lasting dental implant options beyond traditional dentures.

FAQs we get about dental implants Ottawa IL
Does getting dental implants hurt?
This is one of the most common worries, and it makes sense. No one likes pain, especially when it comes to your mouth. The good news is, most people say the pain isn’t as bad as they feared, and your discomfort is short-lived.
During the surgery, you’ll be numb, so you won’t feel anything. Afterward, it’s normal to have some soreness for a few days.
If you’re nervous about pain, talk openly during your consult. There are options to make the process more comfortable.
Most people say the end result (being able to eat normally, and smile without feeling self-conscious) is well worth a few days of discomfort.
How long does the whole dental implant process take?
Getting dental implants doesn’t happen overnight, but dental implants are built to last. The total time depends on your mouth’s health, how many teeth need replacing, and whether you need extra steps like bone grafts.
For most people, the process often takes 3 to 6 months. Here’s a basic idea:
- Step 1: The implant post (like a small screw) goes into your jawbone. You’ll be numb for this part.
- Healing: Your bone needs time to grow around the post. This takes a few months.
- Final step: Your replacement teeth are attached once healing is done.
It might sound like a bit of a wait, but it means your new replacement teeth will stay strong for years.
What if I’m not a good candidate for dental implants?
Not everyone is ready for dental implants right away, but that doesn’t mean it’s off the table. The main things that matter are healthy gums and enough jawbone to hold the implant steady.
If you’ve been missing teeth for a while, your jawbone may have shrunk. But don’t panic. There are ways to fix this. Bone grafts can rebuild lost bone and make room for an implant. It adds time to the process, but it opens the door for people who thought implants weren’t possible.
The only way to know for sure is through a 3-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (3D CBCT) imaging scan and evaluation.
Will my dental implants look fake?
This is a common fear, and totally understandable. You want your new teeth to blend in, not stand out. Luckily, dental implants today are made to look and feel just like real teeth.
Each crown (the part that shows) is shaped and colored to match your other teeth. Dentists use high-tech tools to get the size, shade, and fit just right. Once it’s in place, most people won’t notice a difference.
Also, because the implant sits in your jaw like a real root, it holds firm when you chew or talk. It doesn’t move around like dentures sometimes do.
You’ve lived with gaps or shifting teeth long enough. With implants, your smile can feel natural again, and that’s the goal.
I wear dentures now. Can I switch to implants?
Yes, many people who wear dentures end up switching to dental implants, and often wish they’d done it sooner. Dentures can slip, rub, or make eating tricky. Implants stay put because they’re fixed into your jawbone, just like real teeth.
There are two common paths here:
- You can replace individual teeth with implants.
- Or, if you’re missing a full arch of teeth, you can get something called “implant-supported dentures.” Your new replacement teeth are attached to four (or in some cases 1 or 2 more) dental implants, giving you a secure smile with no more adhesives.
What’s recovery like after getting a dental implant?
After getting a dental implant, recovery is easier than most people think. Right after the procedure, you might feel some swelling, slight bleeding, or tenderness, but this usually fades within a few days.
Most people go back to work within a several days, depending on how they feel. Just take it easy and listen to your body.
Can I eat normally with dental implants?
Yes, eating normally is one of the biggest benefits of dental implants. Once fully healed, your implant works just like a real tooth. You can bite into apples, chew steak, or enjoy crunchy snacks without worrying about movement or pain.
Unlike dentures, implants don’t shift or pop out when chewing. They give you freedom to enjoy foods you love again, and smile without holding back.
If you’ve been avoiding certain foods because of missing teeth or loose dentures, implants can truly change how you live day-to-day.
Can dental implants replace a single missing tooth?
Yes — with a single tooth dental implant.
A single implant replaces the missing tooth without altering neighboring teeth, and helps preserve bone while restoring your natural function.
Can implants be used if I'm missing several teeth in one area?
Yes. Implant-supported bridges can restore multiple missing teeth in one area.
One implant is not needed to replace each tooth. When planned correctly, fewer implants can support multiple missing teeth while maintaining strength and stability.
Are dental implants an option if I already wear dentures?
Yes — many denture wearers upgrade to implant-supported dentures.
Implant dentures:
- Reduce slipping
- Improve comfort
- Eliminate reliance on adhesives
They’re a common choice for individuals frustrated with ill-fitting or unreliable traditional dentures.
What is bone grafting and when is it needed?
Bone grafting is a routine surgical procedure that’s used to rebuild and strengthen jawbone density (or mass). Bone material is added to the jaw, and typically takes about 3 to 6+ months to fully integrate with your natural jawbone.
Bone grafting is needed in instances of bone loss or deterioration, typically resulting from missing teeth or infections like periodontal disease (commonly referred to as ‘gum disease’).
