Implant-retained dentures.

Removable and fixed options

Some dentures attach to implants and are removed by the patient for cleaning. Other full-arch restorations are secured in place and removed by a dental professional when needed. These are different designs with different maintenance needs.

Attachments and support

Attachment systems may use individual connectors or a supporting bar. The number and position of implants depend on your jaw, bone support, bite, and restoration plan; no single implant count fits everyone.

Who may be a candidate?

Your dentist considers your oral health, medical history, bone support, and ability to maintain the restoration. Imaging or additional treatment may be needed. Implant treatment involves surgery and healing and is not suitable for everyone.

Care continues after treatment

Daily cleaning around implants and attachments remains important. Components can wear, and dentures may need adjustment, repair, or replacement. Ask how you would clean the proposed design and what ongoing visits and costs to expect.
