Implant Retained Dentures
Although many patients have no problem wearing a full coverage upper denture, some people do find it difficult to wear and eat with a lower denture. For these patients an implant-supported denture can be made. These dentures are usually supported by 4-6 implants and are smaller than conventional dentures so they are more comfortable to wear.
Benefits of an implant-supported denture:
- Stability during eating and talking
- Improved confidence
- Bone and gum preservation
- Nutritional benefits
- Fewer gum sores
