Complete edentulism is common in adults. It is important to find a solution to avoid further damage due to atrophy and bone loss. Dentures can be fitted and fixed to your jawbone permanently using between five and six implants. The implants are used to replace several teeth that are missing side by side which a bridge cannot do.
Fixed or removable implant-supported dentures are both more solid and stable than regular dentures. They offer many more advantages:
Normal chewing
Bone loss prevention
Better pronunciation
Optimal esthetic results

The surgical procedures are conducted under local anesthetic. Although implants can last a lifetime, it is still important to see your dentist for regular check-ups, cleanings, x-rays as well as to check your bite. Implant supported dentures greatly improve quality of life for patients missing several teeth and are a worthwhile long-term investment.
