Alabama Dentist - Implants and Dentures
Marty needed dentures but he was very concerned
about being able to eat comfortably. About 50% of
lower denture wearers are unhappy because their denture
"floats" instead of holding to their jaw. Fortunately for
Marty he chose to have four dental implants placed to hold
his lower denture securely in place.
The photos at right show the gold bar that
connects to each implant. Notice the two yellow clips
in the underside of the lower denture. These clips
snap onto the implant retained bar. Marty can still
remove his lower denture whenever he chooses for cleaning
purposes.
With this system, denture wearers can once
again eat all the different foods they like without the
frustation and discomfort of a loose denture.
