Implant supported dentures are a method where prosthetic dentures are securely attached to your mouth using titanium posts which can snap onto the implant. These posts use your bone structure to hold the dentures firmly in place, minimizing movement and eliminating the need for adhesive gels.
Yes! Implant supported dentures rest directly on your gums but are also anchored by an attachment called a locator that is screwed into the dental implant. This ensures the dentures remain stable and don’t slip, while still allowing you to remove them for cleaning and maintenance. It’s an ideal option for replacing entire sets of missing teeth.
After healing, dental abutments are attached to the implants, and then a locator attachment is placed when the gum tissue has healed around the implant abutment.
