Implant-Supported Dentures

An implant-supported denture is used when a person doesn't have teeth in the jaw but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants. An implant-supported denture has special attachments that snap onto attachments on the implants. They hold the denture securely in place by anchoring them to the jawbone. These dentures can either be removable or fixed, depending on the patient’s preference and need.

Some of the benefits of implant-supported dentures include:

• No slipping
• No need for denture adhesive
• Minimal discomfort
• No palate on an upper denture, which improves eating
• Improved ability to chew and speak
