ABSTRACT:
A method for affixing an improved denture appliance including artificial teeth fixedly secured with respect to one another within a support member wherein the support member defines an arcuate concave mounting channel therein which is adapted to be positioned in abutment with respect to the gum tissue of a user to facilitate securement. The support member defines affixing holes formed therein with flared lower edges to allow the gum tissue of a user to grow into the holes. An initial drilling of the affixing holes will be followed by at least one month of usage of the denture appliance allowing protrusions of gum tissue to grow into the initially drilled holes. After at least one month of wearing the affixing holes will be drilled somewhat larger to allow the protrusion of gum tissue growing therein to also enlarge. Several enlargement drillings will be performed until the protrusion of the gum tissue grows to a sufficient extent to facilitate detachable firm securement of the denture appliance with respect to the gum tissue of a user.
