Anything stronger than cement for attaching denture?

November 7th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Moore! I had lost all my teeth on the upper but retained three in the bottom. I had four implants on the upper and and two in the lower to cover fill the gap between the natural teeth. Dentures were placed in both cases held by cement.Although I am quite happy with the results because I had front reconstructed with 12 teeth on the upper and lower and was apple to eat comfortably. Unfortunately both fell out and had to be recemented. Please tell me what is the best course of action. Is this the normal way as I did not opt for a plate. I was hoping that after implants teeth should be mechanically fastned and should not entirely depend on the cement. I will be very grateful for your opinion.

You might try a stronger cemen… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
