Implants have become part of the standard of care. This option secures the denture plate to provide a more comfortable fit, less wear on the ridges and greater bite force than traditional denture plates.
An implant is a small titanium cylinder that is placed into your jaw that acts much like your natural root. The implant integrates with your jaw. Then, a functional top is placed on the implant so that your denture plate or removable partial can snap into place. This is a procedure that is typically done in the dental office using local anesthesia very much like many other dental procedures. These are available from Dr. Tim Chapel, DDS.
