What are they?
An denture is a stable solution to loose . It is a type of denture that is by and to implants. It has that fit over the implants like a snap fastener or a press-stud. These help to keep the denture in place, preventing movement, and improving the fit and chewing . Implant-supported dentures can be made for either jaw, but are particularly in the lower jaw because regular tend to be less stable there.
Why have a denture instead of fixed porcelain teeth?
Many people don’t like the idea of a denture because it is removable, but it offers some advantages over fixed implant teeth:
Is it suitable for me?
If you are in good health and don’t smoke then it is likely that you are suitable for dental . Age is not an impediment to – senior may actually benefit from the improved fit of implant .
How Does It Work?
There are two types of implant-supported dentures: bar-retained and ball-retained. In both cases, the denture will be made of an base that the shade of your gums. or teeth that look like teeth are attached to this base. We need at least two implants for support, so we often use ball-retained dentures for their simplicity and reduced cost.
The Process for implant dentures
The implants are placed in the near the front of your mouth because there tends to be more bone in the front of the jaw than in the back. This is usually true even when teeth have been missing for some time. Once you lose teeth you begin to lose bone in the area. In addition, the front jaw doesn’t have many nerves or other structures that could interfere with the placement of implants.
The time frame to complete the on many factors. The time frame is five months in the lower jaw and seven months in the upper jaw, and this includes and the placement of the . The process however can last a year or more, especially if you need bone grafting or other preliminary . More often than now, two surgeries are needed in this . The first one places the implants in the under your gums, and during the second which comes three to six months after the first, the abutment is placed on top of the implant so that it protrudes the gums.
A procedure is now used as a to the . In this procedure, we can place the and the supporting bar in one step, and the success rate of this procedure is quite high. Before any work is done you will have a comprehensive consultation where we will review your and dental histories, take X-rays and create impressions of your teeth and gums so that models can be made. In some cases we may order a tomography (CT) scan of your mouth. This shows where your (located above your upper teeth) and nerves are. It allows us to make sure they will not be by the implant placement. A CT will show us how much bone is and will help us determine the best locations for the .
If you are not wearing a complete to your teeth, we will make one for you. You will use this temporary until the implant-supported denture is placed. It will take about four visits, several weeks, to complete this denture. By making this temporary we can determine the best for the teeth in the final denture. The temporary denture can also be used as a backup if something happens to the final implant-supported denture. The denture can also sometimes be used as the final to reduce overall costs.
First surgery, Month 1
The first surgery the in the jawbone. During this procedure, the are in the bone under the gum and are allowed to heal.
After the surgery you should avoid putting pressure on the . The temporary denture can be made so that direct is placed on other areas, not on the implants. It may also be given a soft reline (new lining next to your gums) to help to reduce the pressure on your gums.
After the first we will wait three or four months if implants were placed in the lower jaw, and five or six months if they were placed in the upper jaw, before the second surgery. During this time, the bone and the implants integrate (attach and fuse).
Second surgery, Month 4 or 5
Once the implants have become fused with the bone, the second surgery can be . We will whether the is ready for the second surgery by taking an X-ray.
A healing cap (collar) is placed on the head of each implant after it is exposed, which guides the gum tissue to heal . The collar is a round piece of metal that holds the gums away from the head of the implant, and will be in place for 10 to 14 days. About two weeks after the second surgery, the caps will be with regular . Your gums should now be healed enough for us to make an impression of your gum tissue and . The is used to make a working model of your abutments and jaw, and this model is used to make the denture framework and teeth.
Completion, Month 5 or 6
At this point, press stud are placed on the and the new denture is made. When the denture is inserted, it is clipped onto these . We will then test all the parts of your new denture to see if they are secure, and will check your gums and the way your top and bottom teeth come together (your bite).
Caring for Your Implant-Supported Denture
You will need to remove the denture every night and for . You should carefully clean around the attachments, which, along with the clip, should be every 6 to 12 months. These are made of a plastic material (nylon) and will wear with use. The (the half of the press stud system that is attached to the implants) can also wear out, and will need replacing every 3-5 years.
What Can You Expect From Your Implant-Supported Denture?
Your implant-supported denture will be more stable than a . You will find it easier to speak and you won’t have to worry about the denture becoming loose or falling out of your mouth. You will generally be able to eat foods you could not eat before, but you will not be able to chew very hard or eat sticky foods because they can damage your .
If you have an in your upper jaw, it can be made to cover less of your palate (roof of your mouth) than a . This is because the implants are holding it in place instead of the suction created between the full denture and your palate.
Maintenance & Cleaning
You should remove an implant-supported daily to clean the and gum area. Just as with dentures, you should not sleep at night with the dentures left in.
