Types of Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures sit on your gums and are secured by dental implants. While two or more dental implants are needed to place either type, they are available in two distinct types: ball- and bar-retained. Bar-retained dentures are connected to implants that are surgically embedded in the gums. The denture rests on a mental bar along the gum line that is fastened to the implants. Ball-retained dentures utilize a ball and socket device that attaches the implants to the dentures. Usually, the implants have a ball on top of them and the denture is outfitted with sockets. They are snapped into position where the ball and sockets align together. We can help determine which type of implant-supported denture is right for you.
