Do standard dentures leave you frustrated? Is it difficult for you to eat, speak or taste your food? If so, you have another option! Dentists in Brampton provide implant stabilization for implant-retained dentures. This advanced technique is also successful for patients that have difficulty getting their dentures to fit or stay in place during the day.
The Low Profile Design
Implant-retained dentures are lower profile in shape and size than standard dentures, taking up less space and freeing up the roof of your mouth. This allows the patients to enjoy tasting their food and have an easier time with their speech. Rather than an appliance that spreads across the roof of the mouth, implant retained dentures are more of a “U” shape, which only cover the arch of the bone, where your natural teeth would have been.
A Secure Fit, Every Time
For dental implant-retained dentures to function, implants are placed in both the upper and lower arches and a customized denture is made that snaps into place onto the implant. Once secured in place, the denture stays mounted on the implant permanently unless removed by your dentist. Patients who have had trouble getting their dentures to fit securely in place find implant-retained dentures to be a tremendous asset to their diet and lifestyle.
If you have limited amounts of bone level, you may also need to have a bone graft performed to support your dental implants. Proper healing time gives the bone and titanium implant a chance to become osseointegrated with your normal bone structure. This gives your denture a secure mount that can withstand the normal chewing forces it will undergo each and every day.
Typically, most people only need their dentures mounted on about 4 implants per arch. Sometimes implant-retained dentures are called “All on 4” dentures for this very reason. This makes having implant stabilization at our Anchorage dental implant office more affordable than what people expect.
Easy to Maintain
Your implant-stabilized dentures are easy to keep clean, similar to a bridge. Using a water flosser, proxa-brush or floss threaders allows you to clean underneath the appliance to keep the area healthy.
