Dental implants for lower dentures
Dental implants can support a lower denture by anchoring it to the jaw, improving retention when bone and health conditions permit.
Can implants help keep a lower denture securely in place?
Dental implants can support a lower denture by anchoring it to the jaw, improving retention when bone and health conditions permit.
How do implant attachments connect a lower denture?
Implant-retained lower dentures use titanium fixtures in the jaw and connector attachments in the denture.
Why can a lower denture move while chewing or speaking?
The lower jaw often gives a denture less natural suction than the upper jaw, so movement may occur during chewing or speaking.
What checks are needed before planning lower denture implants?
Planning includes examination, three-dimensional imaging, and review of bone volume, nerves, medicines, and goals.
How should you clean a lower implant-retained denture?
Clean the denture, gums, attachments, and exposed implant surfaces exactly as demonstrated.
