Dental Implants
A screw-retained denture (often called an implant-supported fixed denture or hybrid denture) is a type of full-arch restoration that is securely attached to dental implants with screws.
Unlike traditional removable dentures (which rest on gums and may require adhesives), screw-retained dentures are fixed in place using screws that connect the denture to multiple implants. They do not move around while eating or speaking, offering improved comfort and function. They look and feel more like natural teeth, allow stronger biting force, and prevent the bone loss that usually occurs under traditional dentures.

Customer Name
Dental implants are small, biocompatible posts (usually made of titanium) that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they provide a strong foundation for supporting replacement teeth (implant-supported dentures). Because implants integrate with the bone, they help improve stability, function, and comfort compared to removable options alone.
They are designed to be more stable than traditional dentures, which can make eating and speaking easier. They also help reduce movement and the need for adhesives.
The number of implants depends on the patient’s needs, jawbone health, and the type of denture. Commonly, 2 to 6 implants may be used to secure a lower denture, while upper dentures may require more. Your provider will recommend what is best for your situation.
