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.
What is the direct answer?
Dental implants can support a lower denture by anchoring it to the jaw, improving retention when bone and health conditions permit.
What does this question mean?
Implant-retained lower dentures use titanium fixtures in the jaw and connector attachments in the denture.
What can you do next?
The lower jaw often gives a denture less natural suction than the upper jaw, so movement may occur during chewing or speaking.
When should you seek dental care?
Planning includes examination, three-dimensional imaging, and review of bone volume, nerves, medicines, and goals.
What should you ask the dentist?
Clean the denture, gums, attachments, and exposed implant surfaces exactly as demonstrated.
