Who is a Candidate for Implant Supported Dentures

Who is a candidate for dental implant supported dentures?

If you've lost, or are losing, all of your teeth a dental implant supported denture is something to discuss with your dentist. If some of your teeth remain and are healthy, a partial denture may be your way to a great smile. A dental implant supported denture is a good solution when you don't have any teeth in the jaw, but you have enough bone in your jaw to support the dental implants. The actual implant supported denture has attachments on it that snap onto attachments on the implants to hold it in place securely.

Dental implant supported dentures are typically for your lower jaw as regular dentures are much less stable in a lower jaw. It's common to have a regular denture for your upper jaw and have an implant supported denture in your lower jaw. In some a dental implant supported denture may be needed in both the upper and lower jaws.

This procedure should be thoroughly discussed with your dentist as there are several personal and medical factors to take into consideration.
