After two to four dental implants are placed and have integrated, an acrylic denture is secured onto the implants using snaps, clips, or other attachments. These attachments secure the false teeth in place and add retention and stability to removable dentures. If you’re planning to use dental implants to stabilize a denture, it’s best to have the implants placed soon after the natural teeth are extracted. This is because bone resorbs quickly and continuously after teeth are removed, and dental implants actually prevent further bone resorption. As a general rule, the sooner the implants are placed, the better the overall foundation for implants.
