Denture Over Implant
Implants are an increasingly popular option for replacing missing teeth rather than conventional bridges or partial dentures. They are inserted directly into the jawbone like the roots of natural teeth and the denture is securely fixed to the implants, so you won’t even know you have any false teeth at all.
While denture implants are becoming increasingly popular, they are not appropriate for everyone. Healthy gums and a sufficient thickness of jawbone are necessary to allow the implants to be fitted correctly.
