There are two types of replacement teeth that use implants:

• Permanent Teeth
• Removable Teeth

If you are losing your teeth, you need to make an important decision:

• Do you want permanent teeth.....or removable teeth?
• To make this decision, you need to understand how these two types of teeth are different
  
  

Permanent Teeth: 

• professional term:  Implant Bridge
• permanently connected to the implants
• do not move in your mouth when you eat and speak
• clean them just like natural teeth
• can only be removed by a dentist.....if the bridge 
  needs to be cleaned or repaired

Removable teeth: 

• professional term:  Over-denture
• snap onto the implants with small clips
• moves in your mouth like a denture, only less
• must remove the teeth to clean them

• must be removed at bedtime

Upper Overdenture

Blue "clips" snap onto the implants
to reduce the movement of the denture
