Many patients ask whether their existing dentures can be adapted to work with dental implants. The answer depends on several factors.

In some cases, it is possible to modify your current denture by adding fixtures that allow it to attach securely to the implants. However, this depends on the denture’s thickness and overall condition. If the denture is too thin, worn out, or outdated, we may recommend creating a new denture that is specifically designed to work with implants for optimal fit, function, and durability.

In situations where your existing denture is suitable, adapting it for use with implants can be a cost-effective option that allows you to retain the denture you are already accustomed to. Each case is unique, and we will evaluate your denture and provide the best recommendation based on your needs.
