Implant retained over dentures

Optimum tooth replacement is achieved with dental implants and can be used for supporting dentures. Usually, two or more implants are used to support a complete lower denture.

Lower implant retained dentures are widely considered the first choice for suitable patients. Benefits over regular full lower dentures include better; retention, stability, speech, masticatory efficiency, comfort while eating soft and hard foods, confidence in intimate situations, satisfaction and self-esteem.

Dental Prosthetists with the relevant qualifications can make implant retained over dentures; however they do not place the implants. Implants will need to be surgically placed. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. The relevant professional putting the implants will need to discuss these risks.
