| |
| if all your lower teeth are missing, five implants may be used to support a lower denture. |
| |
| If all your upper teeth are missing, six or more implants may be used to support an upper denture. |
| |
| The implants are positioned just below the gum tissue and given time to fuse with the bone. Temporary abutments may be placed on the implants until the healing phase is complete. Your existing denture can be modified so that it may be worn without disturbing the implants during the healing process. |
| |
| You will be fitted for a custom-made bar that attaches to the implants to support a new denture. Your existing denture may be modified to be worn during this period. |
| |
| The new denture will have attachments which snap or clip it into place. Your new teeth are firmly supported by the jaw, stimulating it and halting bone loss. You will be able to remove the denture easily for cleaning. |
