How Can Dental Implants Stabilize My Denture?

In this video, Dr. Lilian Jaime explains the simple attachment mechanism that makes loose dentures far more stable.

Snap-in dentures use a small attachment system that connects the denture securely to the implants. Each implant has a rounded attachment, and the denture contains a matching housing.

When the denture is placed, the housing connects directly to the implant attachment and locks into position. This connection provides the retention and stability needed to keep the denture firmly in place while eating and speaking, while still allowing it to be removed for cleaning.

If you or someone you love is struggling with missing teeth or loose dentures, contact Sunshine Dental in Albuquerque, NM, for a free consultation to learn how our implant denture options can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.
