  Denture Implants

  Traditional dentures rest directly on your gums, relying on them for support and retention. However, over time, as your jawbone changes shape, this support can diminish, resulting in less comfortable dentures. Denture implants are a possible solution for loose dentures. You would still have a removable denture, but instead of resting on your gums, it clips firmly onto dental implants. This guide explains more about denture implants, how they work, and this treatment's advantages. We also briefly explain the process for planning and placing implant dentures.
