Implant supported dentures
Do you know someone who wears dentures? Does he hate the lower denture, saying it floats up and pinches? Tell him about implant supported dentures!
Two implants placed in the lower jaw can provide wonderful stability to a lower denture. It stays in place, nice and solid, and since it doesn’t move it doesn’t pinch! The implants are fitted with what looks like a very tiny trailer hitch, and the modified denture snaps right into place and stays there! This makes the denture wearer far more comfortable, letting him eat well and laugh long, knowing the dentures won’t come out and surprise anyone! Denture wearers know that the bone dissolves away under lower dentures, making the fit more difficult as years go by. Implant supported dentures preserve bone, so they will fit much longer.
If you know someone who has dentures that won’t stay where they belong, tell them the good news about implant supported dentures!
