Can one dental implant hold a lower denture? What is the best way to keep lower dentures in? How do implant retained dentures differ than other dentures? How many implants are needed for a lower denture?
Substantial bone loss over time may have led to a lower jaw.
This lower jawbone may not be able to support a denture. Replace a full set of teeth or replace old-fashioned dentures with a beautiful set of teeth locked down or secured with implants. You can replace an upper or lower set of teeth or both. Usually, when you lose a tooth , it is best for your oral health to have it replaced.
Lower dentures are much more difficult to wear with confidence than upper dentures. While the bone support is critical, the tongue is a powerful muscle and easily can displace a lower denture whereas the upper denture has more retention due to the large surface area and suction effect of the palate. Implant-retained dentures provide stability to existing loose dentures.
They snap into two to four implants on the lower arch and four to six implants on the upper arch.
