Implant Retained Dentures
Implant Retained Dentures
For patients already wearing a denture(s), who need some stability to their dentures, dental implants can be placed to give the dentures some much needed retention.
Usually 2 dental implants in the bottom jaw and 4 implants in the upper jaw are placed A female component with the seating surface of the denture and a male component on the implants allows the removable denture to ‘click’ into position on the implants.
This is a much cheaper alternative to fixed teeth, but very effective!
