The word denture conjures up an image of a set of artificially looking set of fake teeth set up on a pink base that fits moderately and looks average. Often , one would imagine using denture adhesive to make the denture fit well .But thanks to recent advances in technology and in dentistry, there are many better ways to replace teeth , and one of them is implant supported dentures.
What exactly is an implant supported denture, you may ask.It is a denture that is supported by elements embedded in the bone of the jaws. The mandibular/lower denture can benefit more from an implant supported denture , but they can be useful for both upper and lower dentures.
Existing dentures can be modified to fit onto implants or new dentures can be made after thr implants are placed.
It is finally possible to replace many missing teeth with dentures while maintaining a high level of function and omfort.
