Dentures held snug and tightly in place using dental implants change the quality of life of the person wearing a denture dramatically.
Lower dentures no longer bounce up and down and upper dentures no longer need coverage of the palate, which allows the wearer to enjoy their food. They can now taste, feel the texture and know how hot or cold their food is.
Implant-retained dentures are particularly helpful in cases where a person has lost a considerable amount of bone and gum following the removal of their teeth. Dentures not only replace the teeth, but also the gum which has shrunk away.
Implant-retained dentures click in and out using precision attachments linked to implants. Since the dentures are ‘removable’ they can be taken out to enable easy cleaning of both the denture, gum and implants.
Implant retained dentures should ideally be left out at night time to allow the skin in your mouth to breathe and reduce the risk of fractures if you are one of many who grip or grind your teeth at night.
Precision attachment abutments in the mouth click into inserts in the denture so making the denture securely fixed in place.
