Implants are strong and sturdy components that can support complete dentures. Semi-fixed dentures or overdentures are the types of dentures that are held in place of dental implants and are retained in place with the help of clips, sockets, or bars. The semi-fixed dentures are helpful in patients who have little bone tissue for support and cannot retain the dentures but are suitable for implant.
These dentures are very hygienic as they can be removed for cleaning and can be put back in place by the patient.
Semi-fixed dentures are a good option for those who want a comfortable and stable tooth replacement that is more secure than removable dentures. They are best suited for patients with sufficient remaining teeth to support the denture, but who have lost a few teeth and require a partial denture.
If a person's jawbone density is insufficient to support traditional dental implants but still enough to support some implants, then semi-fixed dentures may be a suitable option.
People who have difficulties retaining and stabilizing removable dentures due to bone loss or other factors may benefit from semi-fixed dentures as they provide better stability and retention.
If the person has been struggling with the removable dentures, the Semi-fixed dentures can improve a person's ability to chew and speak, especially if they have been struggling with traditional removable dentures.
Semi-fixed dentures can be customised to match a person's natural teeth, giving them a more natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.
The first step is to schedule a consultation with a dentist or prosthodontist who specializes in implant dentistry. During this consultation, the dentist will evaluate your oral health through a number of X-rays like CBCT, intraoral x-ray, or OPG and discuss your treatment goals and options.
