Dentures usually rest directly on the gums and are secured with an adhesive and suction seal. Implant-supported dentures are attached to dental implants that have been embedded into the gums. Implant-supported dentures tend to be more stable than regular dentures which makes them particularly beneficial to use on the lower jaw. They can be used as long as the patient has enough bone in the jaw to support implants. Implant-supported dentures should be removed every evening and cleaned properly just like regular dentures.
