Implant Retained Dentures

Replacing Missing Teeth With Implant Retained Dentures

Usually, when you lose a tooth, it is best for your oral health to have it replaced. Missing teeth can affect your “bite” as well as your ability to speak and chew. Their loss can increase the burden on your remaining teeth and can cause muscle pain in your jaws and headaches. And of course, losing a tooth can affect your appearance. The following information explains the benefits of replacing missing teeth with implant-supported solutions. Implant benefits:

• Improved confidence
• Stability during eating
• Bone and gum preservation
• Improved dental hygiene
• Superior esthetics
• Nutritional benefits

Over-Denture 

One option is to have two implants placed in your lower jaw, and a denture made that snaps onto these dental implants. This option allows your lower denture to be more stable while chewing than without implants. However, there will still be movement of your lower denture, and sore spots will occur if any food particles, especially seeds, are caught under it. As with all removable replacement teeth, you will still need periodic appointments for denture adjustment.

Screw-Retained Denture

Another option involves implant placement and attaching a permanent denture. Your denture is held in place by screws or clasps that secure it to the support posts or bar. It should sit close to the gum tissue while leaving room, which allows you to clean under the denture without removing it! This denture will replace all your missing teeth and will not be removed except at maintenance visits. Although cleaning under your denture without removing it is more time-consuming and requires more dexterity, many patients who want a permanent denture prefer this option.

With a Maxillary (or Upper) Denture, it may be possible to eliminate the need for covering the roof of your mouth with a Full or complete denture. This option allows you to fully taste your food and gives you a better sense of its temperature. Your denture will feel more natural. You will still have a removable denture, which makes cleaning the support bar and denture much easier.
