Choosing a fixed solution to missing teeth can be a desirable option for patients who do not want removable dentures. During the Dental Implant procedure, your Dentist will insert a small screw made of biocompatible (not harmful to living tissue) material into the jaw. Over time the material fuses with the jaw bone, a process called osseointegration, resulting in a secure anchor which is integrated into your natural bone.
Implants can be used to attach both partial sets and full sets of Dentures, depending on each patient’s specific needs and dentition. There are now options available for fixed and removable Implant Retained Dentures.
