Implant-retained dentures offer a secure and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures. By attaching the denture to carefully placed dental implants, this treatment provides improved stability and helps prevent movement while eating, speaking, or smiling. Many patients find implant-retained dentures more comfortable and confidence-boosting than conventional dentures.
This treatment is suitable for patients who have lost multiple teeth or a full arch of teeth and are looking for a more reliable solution. Implant-retained dentures can improve chewing efficiency, enhance speech, and provide a more natural feel. During your consultation, we will assess your oral health and discuss whether implant-retained dentures are the right option for your needs.
Implant-retained dentures are securely anchored to dental implants, reducing movement and improving comfort throughout the day.
The added support allows you to enjoy a wider variety of foods with greater confidence and ease.
Because the dentures are held firmly in place, they are less likely to cause irritation or sore spots compared to traditional dentures.
A secure fit helps you speak, smile, and socialise without worrying about your dentures slipping or shifting.
An implant over denture fits over dental implants and provides you with excellent stability and support for your denture implants.
Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported overdentures or implant dentures are held in place by dental attachments that provide the retentive strength that you desire.
The most important consideration in your decision to choose an implant overdenture or denture implant is the limited retention and stability of a traditional denture which relies on suction alone. Over time, retention only worsens due to continual bone loss (atrophy) of your dental arches from the lack of teeth. The significant concerns regarding chewing and speech can be overcome by placing 2 implants in the lower and 4 implants in the upper jaw.
