Q: What's wrong with dentures, I have lots of friends who have them and are pleased?
A: If the patient is pleased, there is not a lot to say other than they may not always be pleased in the future. When the jaw bone senses that no teeth are present, it slowly disappears (resorbs). As this happens, dentures fit increasingly poorly. This is why we recommend some sort of support for our patient's dentures.

Q: What does "support" mean?
A: It means the denture has something to stabilize it other than just resting on the gums. Support could come from the patient's own teeth, such as in a partial denture, or even under a full denture. If the patient doesn't have any teeth left, implants create amazing support as well as security. Patients who have implants to support their dentures are amazed at how their dentures snap in and don't dislodge, no matter what they eat.
