In the lower jaw where the problem of a moving denture can be quite serious due to very little bone. Two implants can be placed in the front of the mouth and studs are used to hold the denture in place.
In the upper jaw four implants are often needed because of the softer bone. Ideally they should be splinted together for greater stability.
Sometimes the old denture can be used as long as it is otherwise satisfactory. This however, does not give you an opportunity to design a smile or make any changes for the better.
