Removable Mini-Implant Supported Denture
One option to replace all teeth on an arch may involve the placement of two (or more) dental implants. Special attachments are placed over the implants, making it possible for a customized denture to be secured in place. This is a connection type known as the locator attachment. The denture may be removed by the patient for cleaning.
