IMPLANT PROSTHODONTICS

IMPLANT TETAINED DENTURES

Prosthodontists are able to make successful maxillary (upper) dentures for the most patients however mandibular (lower) dentures are far less successful as there is no suction and they move with the flexing of the mandible and during speech with movement of the tongue. Even the placement of just two dental implants in the mandible can significantly improve the retention and stability of a lower denture.
