A few well-placed implants can really improve the retention and stability of a removable denture. Many people find lower full dentures in particular, extremely difficult to manage but notice immediate improvement once they have some implant support. Placing the implants in the jaw bone is a relatively simple procedure and, once done, can be used to stabilise a denture, whether it be an existing one or a new one. Because the implants are usually at the front of the mouth, the denture still needs to be well shaped for maximum benefit.

Robert resisted having implants for many years and when he finally decided to do it, his comment was "after all these years I can finally chew a steak!"
After reconstructions with fixed upper implant supported bridgework. For overdenture, see “implants “menu.
