What Full Implant Dentures Actually Do
Full implant dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth using titanium implants anchored directly into the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that sit on your gums and depend on suction or adhesives, these are fixed in place. That means no slipping mid-sentence and no avoiding certain foods because you’re worried something will shift.
The implants fuse with the bone over time, which also helps preserve the jawbone itself. Traditional dentures don’t do this, and bone loss is a common issue that changes how your face looks and how well a denture fits over time. With implant-supported restorations, you’re not just replacing teeth; you’re protecting the structure underneath.
Each set is custom-designed, so the shape, size, and color are matched to your features. The result tends to look and feel far more natural than what most people expect.
Your Options for Full Implant Dentures in Holladay
Not every patient needs the same solution, and at Mark’s Dentures Lab, we offer several approaches tailored to your goals, bone health, and lifestyle.
- Fixed implant dentures are permanently attached and can only be removed by a dental provider. These feel the most similar to natural teeth and require no nightly removal.
- Snap-on dentures attach securely to implants but can be removed for cleaning. They offer stability well beyond traditional dentures with a bit more flexibility in the routine.
Both options are supported by dental implants placed during an earlier phase of treatment. Your specific recommendation will depend on what we see during your consultation and what fits your day-to-day needs.

What Makes Mark’s Dentures Lab Different
Mark’s Dentures Lab isn’t a general dental office with a side focus on dentures. This is what we do. Dr. Gygle, Dr. Frick, and lab technician Casey King work under one roof, which means the clinicians and the person building your denture are in direct communication throughout the process.
That in-house structure matters more than people realize. When a doctor wants to adjust the shade, refine the bite, or change anything about the fit, it happens immediately rather than going through a back-and-forth with an outside lab. If you want to see the people behind your care before committing, meet our doctors and get a feel for who you’d be working with.
The lab itself is worth seeing, too. You can take a look at our office to get a sense of the environment before your first appointment.
What the Process Looks Like
The timeline for full implant dentures in Holladay varies from patient to patient, but the general path looks like this:
- An initial consultation to assess your bone density, overall oral health, and goals
- Implant placement, followed by a healing period that allows the implants to integrate with the jaw
- Design and fabrication of your custom denture in our on-site lab
- Fitting, adjustments, and final delivery
We walk you through each phase and make sure you know what’s coming. There are no surprises here.
Making It Work Financially
Cost is a real concern for many people, and we don’t brush it aside. Mark’s Dentures Lab offers financing options like CareCredit and Sunbit, and we also have an in-house membership plan to help make ongoing care more manageable. Our team will go over your options clearly so you can make a decision that makes sense for your situation.
