Implantology currently offers patients who no longer have any teeth two options to choose from: an implanted removable prosthetic or one that is permanently affixed. Implanted prosthetics do not yield any of the disadvantages of traditional dentures; namely slippage, tenderness and pain when chewing. The palate remains free from prosthetic material and patients are able to once again savor taste and enjoy carefree eating. The most aesthetically pleasing result comes from the permanently affixed prosthetic which sits on the implant and seals harmoniously to the gums.
