Plenty: Dentures are removable and rely on tissue and underlying bone to support and retain them. Implants are titanium cylinder (root form) shaped "replacement roots" that are surgically placed into the bone (painless) and act as support for teeth, bridges, and even full arch prostheses. Can also be used to hold dentures in place with the correct attachment (snap). See a Prosthodontist for evaluation.

Different options: The dental implants is a better option than dentures. Dental implants don’t wiggle or slip, as dentures can, and they are healthier for the gums and bone. Most patients find implants easier to maintain than dentures.
