Removable complete denture over implants

       

What is a removable complete denture over implants?

Rediscover the joy of eating. This is a type of denture the patient can remove for cleaning and put back himself. It replaces all of the missing natural teeth on the top or lower arch.

If your denture is uncomfortable and if using the denture adhesive bothers you, denture over implants is a solution to consider. In the case of a bottom denture, most of the time only two implants are required.

This denture is using a device similar to button clips to rest on the dental implants, in some cases only 2 implants are needed. Once in place, the denture over implants provides a sensation very similar to natural teeth.

The regular/traditional complete denture is sitting on top of the gums and does not allow maintaining the existing bone level. The jaw bone is resorbing/shrinking and becomes thinner over time. Thus, gradually your dentures will be less stable. The traditional denture can move and feel unstable on your gums which will cause continual discomfort and in some cases frequent irritations/ulcers.

A complete denture upper or lower denture over implants will maintain facial structure and prevent bone loss in the jaws. This type of denture is completely safe, it will not move, thus provide more comfort, stability and will provide you effective mastication.

The dental implants are no more or less as artificial tooth roots on which your dentures clips. Installed by a surgeon in implantology or a specialized dentist, the few implants that serve to anchor your dentures provide you all the desired stability.
