Implant-Retained Dentures

Implant-retained dentures are a type of overdenture that is supported by and attached to implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, these dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This connection provides superior stability and support compared to conventional dentures.

Understanding Implant-Retained Dentures

Benefits of Implant-Retained Dentures

Improved Stability and Comfort: The secure fit reduces slippage and movement, enhancing comfort and confidence while speaking and eating.
Bone Preservation: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss often associated with missing teeth.
Enhanced Chewing Ability: Patients can enjoy a wider variety of foods, improving nutritional intake.
Better Oral Health: Easier to clean and maintain, these dentures promote healthier gums and surrounding teeth.
Aesthetic Appeal: They provide a more natural look and feel compared to traditional dentures.

The Procedure

Consultation and Planning: An initial consultation with a dental professional is essential to assess oral health and suitability for the procedure.
Implant Placement: Dental implants, small titanium posts, are surgically placed into the jawbone. The number of implants varies based on individual needs.
Healing and Osseointegration: A healing period follows, during which the implants integrate with the bone – a process called osseointegration.
Attachment of Dentures: Once healing is complete, the dentures are customized and attached to the implants via special mechanisms.

Considerations and Care

Candidate Suitability: Not everyone is a suitable candidate; factors like bone density and general health are crucial.
Oral Hygiene: Immaculate oral hygiene is essential to prevent infections and ensure the longevity of the implant-retained dentures.
Regular Dental Visits: Routine check-ups are necessary for adjustments and to monitor oral health.

Future Trends and Developments

The future of implant-retained dentures is promising, with ongoing advancements in materials and techniques. Digital dentistry and 3D printing are set to revolutionize the customization and fitting process, enhancing comfort and reducing treatment times.

Conclusion

Implant-retained dentures offer a life-changing solution for those struggling with traditional dentures. They provide enhanced stability, improved oral health, and a boost in confidence and quality of life. As technology advances, these dentures will become even more accessible and efficient, continuing to transform the landscape of restorative dentistry.

  After years of not being able to eat solid food, because of bad decay and alot of tooth discomfort, i decide to go and have a consultation on having implant retained dentures.
How professional all the staff were, and after having my remaining teeth removed and 4 implants in the top and 2 in the bottom, i can now eat properly and i am pain free. The photo,s speak for themselves..
The best money i have ever spent.
Highly recommend stella maris dental
