What it is
A complete set of replacement teeth carried by strategically placed dental implants, available either as a fixed bridge permanently attached to the implants or as a removable overdenture that snaps securely into place.
Who it's for
Patients who have lost all or most of their teeth, those whose teeth are failing, or anyone fed up with loose, uncomfortable traditional dentures and ready for a stable, permanent solution.
How we help
Custom treatment planning, coordination with a trusted implant surgeon for placement, and custom-designed restorations fitted in our Lisle office, since every patient's needs and jawbone are different.
Worn out by dentures? Implant-supported teeth stay in your mouth and feel completely natural.
Full-Arch Implant Bridge
- A full set of teeth fixed permanently to 4–6 dental implants per arch
- Never comes out, with nothing to remove, no adhesives, and no slipping
- Bite and chew at full power on any food, with no dietary restrictions
- Keeps the jawbone healthy by stimulating it through the implant posts
- Designed to match ideal tooth shape, size, and color for a completely natural look
- Depending on the technique, often called "All-on-4" or "teeth in a day"
Implant-Supported Overdentures
- A full denture that snaps securely onto dental implants for added stability and comfort
- Comes out at home for cleaning and maintenance, then clicks right back into place
- Far steadier than a traditional denture, with no slipping, rocking, or adhesives
- Lets you eat, drink, and speak with confidence all day long
- Drs. Brammeier and Ericson fits a supporting structure onto the implants so your overdentures click securely into place
- A more budget-friendly alternative to a full-arch fixed bridge
Implants vs. Traditional Dentures
- Bone preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone and prevent the deterioration that sets in beneath traditional dentures
- Stability: Anchored to the bone, implant restorations never slip, shift, or rely on messy adhesives
- Comfort: No sore spots from loose dentures rubbing against the gums
- Eating: Bite and chew normally, whereas traditional dentures reduce chewing capacity by up to 75%
- Taste: Because implant bridges leave the roof of your mouth uncovered, you can fully taste your food
- Appearance: Implants head off the sunken, collapsed look that develops as bone melts away under traditional dentures
Problems with Traditional Dentures
- With no tooth roots present, the jawbone resorbs and shrinks, so dentures loosen over time
- As the bone changes, traditional dentures need constant adjustment and eventual replacement
- Sticky adhesives are often needed just to hold dentures in place
- Many patients struggle to eat, speak, and taste food
- Bone loss brings on a collapsed, aged facial appearance
- Implant-supported restorations resolve all of this by replacing the root as well as the crown
Dental implants are the one tooth replacement that preserves your jawbone and maintains your facial structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our role is the restorative side: planning your treatment and designing and fitting the bridge or overdenture that completes your smile. A trusted implant surgeon we partner with carries out the surgical placement of the implants, so your care is coordinated between specialists working toward the same result. Your final restoration is fitted right here in our Lisle office.
Most full-arch restorations call for 4 to 6 implants per jaw, with the exact number coming down to your bone density and the type of restoration. Drs. Brammeier and Ericson will settle on the optimal number during your consultation based on CT imaging.
Sometimes, yes. Certain techniques let temporary teeth be attached to the implants on the same day as surgery. The permanent restoration goes on after the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, typically 3–6 months later.
Both are excellent options. A fixed bridge stays permanently attached and never comes out, making it the closest thing to natural teeth, while an overdenture snaps on and off for cleaning, which some patients prefer. Cost, bone density, and personal preference all play into the decision, and Drs. Brammeier and Ericson will help you choose.
Years of denture wear often lead to significant bone loss, yet implant treatment is still possible. Bone grafting, performed by a trusted oral surgeon we partner with, can rebuild the jawbone to support implants. In some cases, strategic implant placement can work with available bone.
From implant placement to final restoration, the process typically takes 4 to 8 months. Add bone grafting and the total timeline may stretch to 9–12 months. Temporary teeth are provided during healing so you're never without a smile.
Cost swings widely with the number of implants, the type of restoration, and whether bone grafting is needed. The investment is significant, but implant-supported teeth can last a lifetime, making them more cost-effective than decades of denture replacements. We offer flexible financing options.
A fixed bridge is cleaned just like natural teeth: brush twice daily and use specialized floss or a water flosser around the implants. Overdentures should be removed nightly for cleaning. Regular dental checkups help ensure your implants stay healthy long-term.
