Can dental implants support dentures?

Yes. Dental implants can be used to support dentures, making them more stable than traditional removable dentures.

This is especially helpful if your dentures feel loose, slip when speaking, or make chewing difficult. Implant-supported dentures usually attach to a few implants placed in the jaw, which helps improve comfort and confidence. They can also reduce movement and pressure on the gums.

Not everyone is suitable for this treatment, though, because it depends on your bone levels, oral health, and general health. In some cases, additional procedures, such as bone grafting, may be needed before implants can be placed.
