This is an option when all teeth are missing

The fabrication of complete dentures is an art, requiring above all good dental impressions, an analysis of the patient's needs, problems and requires good communication.

The retention of a full denture is variable and is dependent on many factors such as the height and width of the dental crest the shape of the tuberosities, the force of the tongue as well as the masticatory muscles. Dental implants may be recommended to stabilise one or more dentures and in so doing help improve chewing, mastication as well as help preserve bone mass.
