A situation of losing teeth due to a traumatic injury, periodontal disease or decay of teeth is inevitable. One can not just help, when the event has already occurred. The situation most people deal with is by replacement of lost teeth with traditionally made dentures. Even though in appearance the dentures look like natural, but functionally it does not replace the lost teeth. Persons find difficulty in eating, speaking and smiling, while the dentures are in place.

Periodontic experts advise use of dental implants for providing patients effective user friendly substitute for traditional dentures, which are of great help for a smiling person to look natural, with convenience in speaking, eating and the most sought after kiss with ease with out fear of denture coming out spoiling the wonderful scene. These dentures are using particular dental attachment for holding the denture to implant and remain in proper position firmly without a chance of slipping.

The procedure of providing the implant supported over dentures, usually is completed in a day. The procedure is initiated by fixing the dental implants. In case of upper jaw, two to six implants are fixed for achieving secured fitting. In case of lower jaw, only two implants are sufficient, subject to the condition that patient’s bone height and their jaw structure is suitable for supporting an over denture. The implants get fixed into jawbone and act as an anchor to hold the ends of over denture locked into the implant.

Dental implants are in a position to make the living of a denture using person comfortable in the case of person is using lower jaw denture, due to moving nature associated with the lower jaw, in comparison to upper jaw, which is fixed. Without an implant it is very rare that the denture of the lower jaw gives perfection and chewing of food poses a difficult task.
