IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE

The need of Implant-supported dentures arises when -

  • A jaw has all or many teeth missing.
  • Enough bone is still available at various places for implant or we might require additional Bone-augmentation procedures.
  • Budget is low but you don't want to wear removable dentures so there is a middle way - a removable-fixed denture option.

Implant supported dentures may be fixedor removable depending upon various elements - bone conditions , level of fixation desired, cost factor etc.

  • The removable type needs to be removed daily to clean the denture and to relieve the gums.
  • It has a tich-button or a snap fastener like fitting which makes them more stable and readily acceptable.
  • The removable-fixed type can be removed every few months for hygiene and re-evaluation by your implant surgeon.

Patients may get it for either lower or upper or both jaws depending on their dental condition.
