Can implants help me with my loose lower denture?

Question:

Can implants help me with my loose denture?

Answer:

Yes,  implants can help when you have a loose lower denture.

  • One of the most economical ways to improve your situation is to place four mini-implants and use these  to hold your existing denture in place.
  • You can also  place two regular implants and use them to hold a denture with special attachments .
  • Four or five implants connected by a bar will allow you to rest the denture on the bar, and this is more comfortable and secure than a denture resting on your gums.
  • If you want a denture that is not removable (except by the dentist) you can place more implants and  have a fixed denture called a Hybrid.
