Implants Supported Dentures
 The
Implant supported Lower Denture
The problem - The lower full denture is difficult
for many patients to wear. Sore spots and difficulty chewing
are usually the result of a mobile (bouncing) denture. Even
a well fitting lower denture will not work well when the
gums have shrunk to the point that the patient just can't
keep the denture in place.
The solution - Implants can provide the anchor needed
to keep the denture in place. The result is a dramatic improvement
in fit and function. Patients who have had implants placed
and an overdenture made that is attached to them report
a denture that stays down and is stable.
The two implant lower overdenture
Two implants are placed in the lower jaw. Attachments are
added that connect the denture to the implants. The denture
will stay in place during chewing and speaking.
The four implant lower overdenture
Four implants allow an even more dramatic improvement in
denture function. While two attachments hold the denture
in place, biting pressure is still on the soft tissues of
the gums. Four implants allow placement of a sturdy metal
bar that both holds the denture in place and supports it
during chewing. The result is excellent function and comfort
that rivals the natural teeth that have been lost. The five
and more implant lower dentures- ideal scenario of denture
function. There is no pressure on the soft tissue during
chewing food. No more jaw bone loss and all the forces of
biting are transferred to the implant.
The Implant supported Upper Denture
Upper dentures can be difficult to wear too! Gagging, looseness
and chronic sore spots are all reasons to consider implants
in the upper arch.
