Implant-Retained Dentures: Combining Stability with Removability
Are you struggling with loose or uncomfortable traditional dentures? Implant-retained dentures offer a revolutionary solution that combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of removable dentures. At Smile Dentist Bangalore, Dr. Rockson Samuel and our expert team provide high-quality implant-retained denture services to patients in {INDIA}.
What Are Implant-Retained Dentures?
Implant-retained dentures are a type of overdenture that is supported and retained by dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant-retained dentures snap onto attachments connected to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone.
Key Features of Implant-Retained Dentures
- Supported by 2-4 dental implants per arch
- Removable for easy cleaning
- More stable than traditional dentures
- Preserve jawbone health
- Improve chewing efficiency and speech
Benefits of Implant-Retained Dentures
- Enhanced Stability: Significantly reduces slipping and sliding compared to traditional dentures.
- Improved Comfort: Less irritation to gum tissue due to reduced movement.
- Better Chewing Function: Allows for a more varied diet and improved nutrition.
- Bone Preservation: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
- Easy Maintenance: Can be removed for thorough cleaning.
- Improved Confidence: No worry about dentures moving or falling out during social interactions.
The Implant-Retained Denture Procedure
At Smile Dentist Bangalore, our implant-retained denture process typically involves:
- Consultation and Planning: Dr. Samuel will evaluate your oral health and create a customized treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: Titanium implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone.
- Healing Period: 3-6 months for osseointegration (implant fusing with bone).
- Attachment Placement: Special attachments are connected to the implants.
- Denture Fabrication: Custom dentures are created to fit over the attachments.
- Final Fitting: The dentures are attached and adjusted for optimal fit and function.
