Q. I have decided that I am going to get some dental implants to help support my complete denture. However, I would appreciate it if you could tell me how many implants would generally be required to add support to a complete denture? Also, how do the implants help to support them. I find that my denture feels out of place quite a bit and it can be a hastle.
A. 2 for the lower and 4 for the upper are usually the minimum, if you place more implants then the denture becomes more stable
