Implant Retained Dentures

Implant-retained dentures are dentures that are functionally supported by dental implants. There are a variety of reasons why some people may not be able to wear traditional removable dentures.

Lower Jaw: Losing your teeth leads to bone loss, which continues over time. If a substantial amount of bone is lost, the lower jaw may no longer be able to support a conventional denture. Placing two implants into the lower jaw provides a stable foundation for a denture that the patient may otherwise have been unable to wear.

Upper Jaw: Some people cannot wear traditional upper dentures because the jawbone has shrunk, leaving insufficient ridge and palate depth to support a full denture. Others have an overly sensitive gag reflex and cannot tolerate a denture covering the roof of the mouth. Upper dental implants allow the denture base to be significantly reduced and shaped into an arch rather than covering the entire palate.

Advantages of Implant Retained Dentures

  • Implants help prevent the bone loss that occurs after missing teeth, preserving your facial structure.
  • They are much more secure and comfortable than traditional removable dentures.
  • You won’t even feel like you’re wearing dentures.
  • Your ability to eat and speak is greatly improved.
  • You won’t suffer from sore spots or pressure points.

Mini Implants

Mini implants may be used when traditional implants are not suitable, especially if the patient’s jawbone is not sufficient to support standard implants.

Although mini implants are not considered a long-term solution, they offer several advantages:

  • The procedure is generally minimally invasive and does not require the gums to be cut open.
  • The treatment can be performed under local anaesthetic.
  • The procedure and recovery time are quicker than with traditional implants.
  • The treatment is less expensive than standard implants.
  • Mini implants can be used as a temporary solution as part of a treatment plan involving standard long-term implants.
