Can I have dentures on my top jaw and implants on my lower jaw?

23 May 2019

Yes, you can combine these two types of treatment. It is relatively common for a patient to replace their lower dentures with implants, as lower dentures are the ones that can cause wearers the most trouble.

Lower dentures move far more than upper ones when you chew, and the movement of your tongue can disturb them. It is also difficult for someone with advanced bone loss to keep a lower denture in place. Pedro will do a thorough oral exam and other tests to see if you are a good candidate for implants.
