Implant supported dentures provide better health-related quality of life than conventional dentures. Dentures can either be retained through the natural anatomy of your mouth and the suction it creates, or they can be retained by natural teeth. If you are missing all your teeth we would typically recommend placing at least 2 implants in the jaw. Small attachments (Locator Attachments) go on to the implant and snap into the denture. This helps the denture to stay put and is also much more comfortable to wear. With better retention and stability, implant dentures are a much better option than conventional dentures. They also help maintain bone, which helps maintain your facial structure and appearance. Not to mention they help you eat better and eating well is the key to general well-being.
