What is Semi Fix?


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.

When Should You Go for Semi-Fixed Dentures?


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.

Jawbone density

Procedure for Getting Semi Fix Dentures


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.

  • Treatment planning: Based on the evaluation, the dentist will create a customized treatment plan for you that will include the number and placement of the dental implants and the design of the overdenture.
  • Implant placement: The next step is to place the dental implants. The implants are usually made of titanium and are surgically placed into the jawbone where they will fuse with the bone over time.
  • Healing period: After the implants are placed, there is a healing period of approximately 2 months during which the implants will fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, you may wear a temporary denture to replace your missing teeth.
  • Abutment Attachment: Once the implants have fused with the bone, the dentist will attach abutments to the implants. These abutments serve as connectors between the implants and the overdenture.
  • Overdenture fabrication: With the abutments in place, the dentist will take impressions of your mouth to create a customized overdenture that fits over the implants. The overdenture will be designed to match your natural teeth and provide a comfortable and secure fit.
  • Attachment of overdenture: The final step is to attach the overdenture to the abutments. The overdenture will snap onto the abutments, providing a secure fit and improved stability compared to traditional removable dentures.

Backed by a team of experienced prosthodontists, Radiant Dental offers the best semi-fixed dentures in Chennai. You can count on the dentists at our clinics to offer you the best solution for your missing teeth.

Semi-fixed dentures, also known as implant-supported overdentures, are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. This provides better stability and retention compared to traditional removable dentures that rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place.

The number of dental implants needed to support semi-fixed dentures can vary depending on the individual's dental needs and bone density. In some cases, as few as two dental implants may be sufficient to support a removable overdenture. However, some people may require more implants to achieve optimal stability and retention.

While semi-fixed dentures are more stable and comfortable than traditional removable dentures, they are not considered a permanent solution. The dental implants that support the overdenture can last for many years with proper care and maintenance, but they may need to be replaced or repaired over time. The overdenture itself may also need to be replaced or relined as the jawbone changes shape over time.
