Dentures on Implants

-
Implants are placed in the jawbone by an oral surgeon and your Denturist fabricates the dentures that attach to them.
-
Because they not only rely on suction and muscle control, dentures on implants are far more stable and retentive than conventional dentures.
-
There is a significant increase in cost and healing time involved with dentures on implants.
-
Many patients choose to have transitional dentures fabricated to wear during the implant healing period.
-
Dentures on implants can be either fixed or removable.
-
Fixed: Dentures that are unable to be removed other than by a dental professional. These dentures require hygiene appointments with your dental professional to be removed so that the gums and implants can be cleaned underneath.
-
Removable: Dentures that snap on to the implants that have been placed in your jaw and are able to be removed at home without the help of a dental professional. These dentures will be removed every night and placed in an appropriate denture cleaner just like conventional dentures.
