A fixed implant denture needs 4-6 implants. Minimum 4 . The more the better but 4 is minimum requirement .
Generally, it takes four to six implants to support a denture. I've seen it done with two, but that person had a very tiny little mouth. Your best bet is to talk to your dentist. Please note: message attached
For a removable denture : A minimum of two implants for a bottom denture and four for a top denture. For a non removable denture : A minimum of 4 on top and 4 on the bottom.
every case is different, a comprehensive diagnostic exam is need it in order to determined if you are a good candidate for implants and how many can be placed and in what position.
