You can use as few as 2 implants to hole in a bottom denture. The more there are and spaced farther apart, the more stale the bottom denture will be. You can always start with 2 and add more if you have the available bone.
The number of implants needed depends on several things: Your own bone density and width, your age, and of course check your budget and the protocol or technique your are looking for (removable, not removable, etc), because there are several solutions, if your want something removable the n you can start with 2, or even with snap On dentures (mini implant dentures) or if you want something fixed you can also think about an All-On-4 and All On 6. Think about the options and look for the right treatment for you. I hope this helps. Thank you.
