Can implants be helpful with upper and lower dentures?
Implants can be very helpful in stabilizing upper and lower full dentures. Especially in the lower jaw, where there is less natural suction to hold a denture in place, implants can act as an anchor. Usually two or three implants can be placed by an oral surgeon helping the lower denture to stay in place. Implants are also a great treatment option for the upper jaw as well. Most patients don’t experience much movement with the upper denture, but implants can always be used to stabilize the denture so that there’s no chance of it moving.
