What Is an Implant Denture?

In this video, Dr. Chris Powell explains implant dentures, which eliminate the need for adhesives and offer both removable and fixed options.

People often ask about implant dentures and how they differ from traditional dentures. Essentially, implant dentures are anchored by implants that are placed underneath your gums. These implants serve as a stable foundation to hold the denture securely in place, eliminating the need for denture adhesives.

There are also variations in how these dentures can be designed. For example, while some implant dentures are removable and can be taken out at night, others are fixed and do not require removal. These are often referred to as “fixed on six” or “roundhouse” dentures, where the denture is permanently attached to six or more implants, offering a more permanent solution.
