Implant Retained Dentures

There will come a time when the effects of Bone Resorption (shrinkage) will have such an impact on a denture related treatment, that Dental Implant therapy may become a real consideration.

Awareness of the benefits of Dental Implant therapy has been increasing but this is largely based around making expensive fixed solutions regarding costly treatment plans, invasive surgery and high expenses.

Many patients may be unaware that one of the most effective Implant base treatments for patients missing all their natural teeth based around the placement of only two dental implants in the lower jaw.

The placement of two implants into the regions of the lower canine teeth and the associated components incorporated into the lower denture is a life changing treatment especially when advanced alveolar bone resorption has occurred. The loss of jaw bone is a loss in denture stability which in turn has a negative influence on denture function.

It also provides these benefits without the ongoing expensive maintenance programs as patients are able to very effectively care for their own implants simply by removing the overdenture to easily access the Dental Implant abutments and thoroughly clean all the surfaces with simple readily available dental brushes. Clean Implants are healthy implants and healthy implants are for life.
