Implant-Supported Dentures
Full arch Implants
Full arch implants are used to replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth. This is done by strategically placing implants along the upper or lower jaw and attaching a denture-like attachment over abutments on the implant posts. Once placed, a full arch of teeth using the implants as support will feel and perform like natural teeth.
The advantages of implant supported removable appliance include:
- More secure retention and fit of appliance, improving function and comfort
- Less stress on any remaining natural teeth holding the appliance
- Reduction or elimination of bone shrinkage where implants placed
