A member asked:
I realize traditional dentures cannot stop bone loss in jaws but do implant-supported and implant-retained dentures prevent bone loss to jaw?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The stability of implant supported dentures prevents further bone loss. One must still practice good oral hygiene.
