Implant-retained Dentures in Edmonton and Surrounding Areas for Full-mouth Restoration
Also known as overdentures or implant-supported dentures, these dentures are secured to the top of your gums with the help of implants. Most implant-supported dentures require at least four implants, but this may vary. When compared to conventional dentures, they offer more stability and chewing function. However, they must be removed and cleaned every night. This provides the gum tissues with some much-needed rest.
