Fixed Dentures in Venice, FL
Permanent full-arch teeth supported by dental implants.
Fixed dentures replace missing teeth and restore function with a restoration secured to multiple implants—designed to feel stable, support the jaw and remain in place throughout daily life.
What Is A Fixed Denture?
Replacement teeth that restore function and stay securely attached
Fixed implant dentures replace missing teeth while restoring their function. Dr. Kevin Krause places multiple implants into the jawbone, providing the stimulation the bone needs to help prevent reabsorption.
Although treatment is similar to the process for snap-in dentures, a fixed denture cannot be removed by the patient. The implants fuse with the bone and provide strength and function similar to natural teeth.
Because implant stimulation helps the jaw resist the shape changes associated with bone reabsorption, the denture can maintain its fit without the constant adjustments often associated with conventional removable dentures.
- Replace a complete arch of missing or failing teeth.
- Restore stable biting and speaking function.
- Support the jawbone through implant stimulation.
Fixed Denture Benefits
Designed to restore the feeling of a dependable smile
Your treatment is customized around bone anatomy, oral health, function and the appearance you want from your new teeth.
Fixed Stability
The restoration connects securely to dental implants and is not removed by the patient for routine daily care.
Restored Function
A solid implant foundation supports confident biting, chewing and speaking without the movement associated with loose dentures.
Bone Stimulation
Implants transfer functional stimulation to the jawbone, helping reduce the bone reabsorption that follows tooth loss.
Natural Feel
Because the implants fuse with bone, the completed restoration can offer strength and function closer to natural teeth.
Consistent Fit
Preserving the jaw’s support helps the restoration continue to fit without frequent adjustments caused by progressive tissue changes.
Custom Appearance
The arch is planned to complement facial proportions while replacing the visible teeth and supporting an attractive smile.
Your Fixed Denture Process
From implant planning to a secure full-arch restoration
Detailed evaluation and imaging guide implant placement, while coordinated restorative planning shapes the fit, bite and appearance of the fixed teeth.
Consultation and imaging
Assess the teeth, gums and jawbone, discuss goals and use 3D records to plan the treatment.
Prepare the jaw
Address failing teeth, infection or inadequate bone when those needs are part of the personalized plan.
Place multiple implants
Position implants strategically in the jaw to create a stable foundation for the full arch.
Healing and fusion
Allow the implants to integrate with the bone so they can provide strong support similar to artificial tooth roots.

Good To Know
Common fixed denture questions
Can I remove a fixed denture?
No. Unlike a snap-in denture, it is designed to remain attached. A dental professional can remove it when clinically necessary.
How does it differ from a snap-in denture?
Both use dental implants, but a snap-in appliance is removed by the patient for cleaning. Fixed teeth stay connected to the implant foundation.
Do fixed dentures help preserve bone?
Implants stimulate the jawbone during function, which helps limit the reabsorption that commonly occurs after teeth are lost.
Will the restoration need adjustments?
Implant support helps maintain jaw shape and fit, but regular examinations and occasional professional maintenance remain important.
How are fixed dentures cleaned?
Clean the restoration daily and use the recommended tools to care around the implants and beneath the arch. The team will demonstrate a routine suited to your restoration.
