Implant-Retained Dentures
About service:
Implant-retained dentures use dental implants to provide additional stability for replacement teeth. They can be especially helpful for patients who struggle with movement or instability of traditional dentures.
The number of implants and type of restoration needed will depend on your anatomy, bone availability, oral health, and treatment goals.
Options for the Lower Arch Ball Attachment Denture In some cases, two implants can be placed in the lower jaw and used to help secure a removable denture. The denture snaps onto the implant attachments for greater stability than a traditional lower denture.
Bar Attachment Overdenture Multiple implants may be connected by a custom support bar. A removable overdenture attaches to the bar using internal retention components, providing increased stability while remaining removable for cleaning.
Fixed or Screw-Retained Full-Arch Restoration For appropriate patients, multiple implants may support a restoration that remains secured in the mouth and is removed by the dental team for maintenance when necessary.
Options for the Upper Arch Implant-supported treatment can also be used for the upper jaw.
Depending on the number and position of implants, some patients may be candidates for a design that reduces or eliminates coverage of the roof of the mouth.
Potential Benefits Implant-retained dentures may provide: - Greater stability while eating and speaking - Improved confidence - Reduced denture movement - Support for preserving jawbone - Improved chewing function - A more secure-feeling restoration A consultation and appropriate imaging are needed to determine which option may be right for you.
