What are the differences between dentures, implants and bridges?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Different parts: The implants are the screws that are placed in the jaw... consider them the anchors, or the foundation. The denture is the prosthetic which fits over and is held in place by the implants. The prosthetic mimics the lost teeth. Dentures are removable, bridges are not.

Removable--permanent: A denture is a dental prosthetic that can be removed from the mouth. A bridge or implant is a dental prosthetic that's permanently anchored inside the mouth.
