Implant Supported Dentures in Chester, NJ
A More Secure Alternative to Traditional Dentures
At Chester Smiles Dentistry, implant supported dentures provide a more stable and reliable way to replace missing teeth compared to traditional removable options. By anchoring the denture to dental implants, this approach improves retention, function, and overall comfort.
Implant-supported denture restorations are completed by Dr. Michael Masino, DMD, helping individuals in Chester, Mendham, Long Valley, Randolph, Hackettstown, and surrounding communities achieve greater confidence and stability with their tooth replacement.
What Are Implant Supported Dentures?
Implant supported dentures are designed to attach securely to dental implants placed in the jaw. Instead of resting solely on the gums, the denture is stabilized by implants, reducing movement and improving function.
This type of restoration can be:
- Removable — Snapping into place over implants for improved retention
- Fixed — Secured more permanently for added stability
Each option is selected based on your needs and long-term goals.
Important Note About Implant Placement
Implant placement is not currently performed in-office and will be offered in the future. Current care focuses on restoring and maintaining implant-supported cases, as well as planning comprehensive implant treatment.
This includes:
- Restoring implant supported dentures and overdentures
- Supporting full-arch solutions such as All-on-X
- Restoring single tooth and multi-unit implant cases
This ensures continuity of care and precise restoration design.

They help:

- Improve chewing efficiency
- Increase overall comfort
- Provide a more secure fit throughout the day
For some patients, alternatives such as Full & Partial Dentures or Implant Overdentures may also be considered.
The Treatment Process
Implant supported dentures involve careful planning to ensure proper fit and function.
The process typically includes:
- Evaluation using imaging such as 3D CT Scanning
- Coordination of implant placement when appropriate
- Design and fabrication of the denture

Each step is planned to support long-term success.
