What Are Implant Retained Dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures, implant-retained dentures utilise dental implants anchored in the jaw to support a complete arch restoration. This solution is perfect for those experiencing issues with slipping dentures or pressure sores on the gums. These innovative dentures distribute the biting force through the jawbone rather than relying solely on the gums, resulting in greater stability and a natural feel. Additionally, this approach can preserve your facial structure and prevent bone loss — a common side effect of traditional dentures. Depending on your needs, you can choose from snap-on or permanent options. It is about time you enjoy all your favourite foods without restrictions.
The Procedure
The treatment is divided into two procedures. Firstly, dental implants are placed in your jaw. They are given time to heal and fuse with the bone. The healing period lasts around 8-12 weeks, after which abutments are attached to the implants. These abutments create a supportive anchor for your denture. You can select between snap-on removable dentures or a fixed permanent option. After the process, you’ll care for your dentures as you would your natural teeth — and enjoy a newfound confidence.
Ideal Candidates for Dental Implants
An ideal candidate for dental implants possesses good oral health and has adequate bone density to support the implants. Being a non-smoker is also essential, as smoking can heighten the risk of implant failure. Additionally, some health conditions may disqualify you from being a suitable candidate, but we can address these concerns during your initial consultation.
