Implant Supported/Retained Dentures

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots generally made of titanium which have the property of adhering to bony tissue, referred to as osseotegration. On a lower jaw only two such abutments are most often required to secure a denture. This procedure is carried out at a dental office and generally performed under local anesthesia. The insertion of oral implants is relatively painless. Once the bone has fully healed around these implants sleeves, small posts are fitted into them and on these posts dentures are designed to clip on to. Once complete, the patient has a denture that snaps into place and no longer relies on suction as its only form of retention.
