Here we see a recently completed full upper denture case, where Dr Hassan has placed 4 dental implants.  The implants are used to secure and stabilise  a much smaller denture which does not cover the palate.  This benefits the patient in the following ways:

1. Reduced denture size.
2. Improved speech.
3. Improved chewing capabilities.
4. By not cover up the palate the patient is able to taste more flavours from there food.
5. No risk of denture falling down, during normal function.
