Implants are strong and sturdy components that can support complete dentures. There are two types of implant-supported dentures - Semi-fixed dentures and fixed dentures.
Semi-fixes are the types of dentures that are held in the place of dental implants and are retained in place with the with the help of attachments ( Bar attachment, button attachment, ball and socket attachment). They are helpful in patients who have little bone tissue for support and cannot retain the dentures but are suitable for implants. These dentures are very hygienic as they can be removed for cleaning and can be put back in place by the patient.
Implant Supported Dentures is a type of dental prosthesis that is anchored in the mouth using dental implants. Unlike the semi-fix, a fixed denture is a permanent dental appliance that replaces a full arch of missing teeth and cannot be removed.
Implant supported dentures are a good option for those who want a comfortable and stable tooth replacement that is more secure than removable resin dentures. They are best suited for patients with good bone density and bone height. In patients with low bone height, there is also an option for basal implants, maxillary implants or zygomatic implants to support the denture.
If a person's jawbone density is insufficient to support traditional dental implants but still enough to support some implants, then implant-supported 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 implant-supported dentures as they provide better stability and retention.
If the person has been struggling with the removable dentures, the implant-supported dentures can improve a person's ability to chew and speak, especially if they have been struggling with traditional removable dentures.
implant supported dentures can be customized to match a person's natural teeth, giving them a more natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.
If you are looking forward to getting full mouth rehabilitation then implant-supported dentures can be more cost-effective than traditional dental implants as they require fewer implants and are less invasive.
