Implant Retained Over-Dentures
Dentures Is a type of overdenture that is supported by and attached to implants. This is used when a person doesn’t have any teeth in the jaw, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants.
Most of the regular denture wearers can relate to the issues of their dentures not staying in one place, slipping, inability to properly chew the food you love and ineffectiveness of denture adhesives.
Implant retained over dentures can help stabilize, as they are more efficient and have long term durability.
