Implant supported dentures treatment in Mumbai form a mid-way ground between the traditional dentures and the more invasive full arch dental implants.  Traditionally, adhesive based complete dentures and partial removable were used to regain the mouth’s function and shape. Nowadays, full arch dental implants are the preferred choice over conventional removable denture.

They are studier and don’t require adhesives. The individual can have an improved diet and include the foods that one would have to avoid with traditional dentures such as chips, corn on the cob etc. During the installation of this device, an oral surgeon will attach 4 to 6 implants that are made of titanium. A fix bridge or over denture is placed over titanium implants, the implant fuses with bone of the jaw, and so they don’t move or slip and even don’t damage the bone, unlike traditional ones.
