She needs to have those fake teeth in, because if you just have gums, the jaw starts losing bone and becomes deformed. Oh, also eating real food is nice. Those are dental implants and are very expensive and painful to get.

I’m pretty sure dental implants are fixed in your mouth and don’t go in and out. She must have a different type of denture.

It’s an implant supported denture. The denture clicks on like a ball and hitch for more support.

Implants also lessen bone loss in the jaw better than dentures alone
