This procedure involves strategically placing implants in the jawbone to anchor the partial denture, providing enhanced stability compared to traditional removable partials. The result is a natural-looking smile that restores confidence and improves chewing ability. Additionally, implant-supported partials help maintain the integrity of surrounding teeth and jawbone, preventing the shifting that can occur with tooth loss.
