Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported overdentures are the next step in comfort over the implant retained dentures. Additional implants are required for the extra support--usally 4 to 5 in the lower jaw and 5 to 6 in the upper jaw. There are several major advantages:
- The bone support is maintained in the back area of the mouth
- The denture is supported entirely by the implant allowing much greater tissue comfort and retention.
- Biting efficiency is now almost like "normal teeth."
- Preserves your appearance and facial structure.
- Re-newed confidence and quality of life.
