Implant-Supported Dentures for Surf City Patients

Surf City has grown from a summer town into a year-round community, and the dental needs have grown with it. We see families from the mainland side and the island, and the mix of cases is broader than the beach towns further south: as many chipped and cracked teeth from active lifestyles as failing older restorations.

For anything involving implants, a full arch, or a bite that needs rebuilding, Surf City patients come into Wilmington. The drive is about forty minutes, and the high-rise bridge removed the old drawbridge wait that used to make it unpredictable.

We regularly see patients from the Surf City mainland, Soundside, Del Mar Beach, and the north end of Topsail Island, and from across the area around the Surf City bridge, Soundside Park.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are dentures that attach to a few dental implants for added stability and comfort. Instead of resting loosely on the gums, they "snap" onto implants to help keep them secure.

They are removable for cleaning, but stay firmly in place while you wear them — making them much more stable than traditional dentures.

Implant-Supported Dentures in Surf City — FAQ

How long is the drive from Surf City?
About 40 minutes over the bridge and down US-17. The high-rise bridge means no drawbridge delays, so timing is dependable outside summer weekends.
My tooth cracked and my dentist says it needs a crown. Why see a prosthodontist?
For a straightforward crown, your general dentist is a fine choice. A prosthodontist is worth it when the crack is deep, the tooth is questionable, or the bite that caused the crack needs addressing so it does not simply happen again.
What is the difference between regular dentures and implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants, making them much more stable and less likely to move compared to traditional dentures.
Do implant-supported dentures come out?
Yes. They are removable for cleaning, but they snap securely into place when worn.
How many implants do I need?
Most patients need only a few implants per arch, depending on their individual treatment plan.
Am I a candidate for implant-supported dentures?
You may be a good candidate if you are missing multiple teeth, struggle with loose dentures, or want a more stable and comfortable solution.
