Implant-supported dentures are secured by permanent dental implants in the jawbone. This ensures that your denture stays in place when you eat and speak, but can be removed for cleaning.

​

Over time, the jawbone slowly shrinks due to age, smoking, and disease, so dentures may no longer fit properly in the oral cavity. Implant-supported dentures are a combination of dental implants and dentures, which provide extra support for people with missing teeth. Titanium rods are implanted into the jawbone, replacing the tooth, which increases the stability of the denture. These rods must be installed in the jawbone before the denture is made, to ensure that everything fits properly and is comfortable for both the denture and the patient.
