If all of your teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw, you can choose either a full bridge supported by implants or a denture retained by implants.

A full bridge is fixed to five or more implants and can only be removed by the dentist.
The implant supported denture is connected via attachments to two or more implants, allowing easy removal. When in place, the denture is firmly attached to the implants and there is no risk of it coming loose.
Your exact treatment depends on your individual situation and personal preference. The type and amount of bone, as well as, functional conditions will all play a role in the best treatment option for you.
Talk with your dentist and find out more.
Whether you have a “fixed” bridge or an implant supported denture, you will be able to speak, chew and smile with confidence.
