For patients who want to increase the retention of their dentures, dental implants can be used to anchor different kinds of snap or slide components that introduce mechanical staying power to dentures.
With as few as 2 dental implants, the floating and movement of a normal lower denture can be greatly decreased. More implants means more retention; using 4 or more implants per arch can start to bring more and more holding power to both upper and lower dentures. For upper dentures in particular, the presence of four implants typically allows for the palate to be removed from the center of the denture, allowing for a horseshoe design.
This is our most popular full arch tooth replacement option because of its value, increasing patient satisfaction with dentures at roughly half the cost of a fixed, full-arch prosthesis.
