Fixed and Removable Implant Supported Dentures at Oasis Dental Studio
Our dental implant supported dentures are scientifically tested and trailed to sit correctly and functionally inside the mouth. The dentures are custom-made to suit your facial anatomy and occlusion (bite) and will be rooted to a series of dental implants that will support the denture. A removable denture will have a series of custom-made abutments attached to the bottom of the denture so that they can be removed and cleaned.
An implant supported denture is a kind of overdenture available at Oasis Dental Studio on the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Pottsville that is supported by dental implants, rather than supported by the gums alone. This dental implant treatment is suitable for those who have lost all of their teeth in a dental arch, but have enough jawbone material to support the implants. An implant supported denture is more commonly used for the lower jaw, however it can also be used for the upper jaw. In some cases we are even able to treat cases where the patient has lost both arches of teeth.
Who are Implant Supported Dentures Most Suitable For?
Implant supported dentures may be suitable for those who cannot tolerate the feeling of completely covering the palate (roof of the mouth), which is often associated with traditional dentures. When all the teeth are lost there is nothing left to help stabilise the denture, causing them to slip or come loose while talking or eating. Dr Firgaira is able to solve this issue by using dental implants as anchor points for the dentures to be securely fixed to, aiming to give the patient full function of the mouth and full stability of their dentures.
What are the Reasons for Implant Supported Dentures?
Implant supported dentures are modern dentures designed to meet the needs of today’s patients. It targets both appearance and functionality and may be an option for those who want:
- The ability to eat with your dentures – conventional dentures would tend to slip or fall out, implant supported dentures are typically stronger and functional.
- The ability to speak more clearly and easily – since they offer a more permanent solution, implant supported dentures provide structural support to the face, including the lips for heightened speech function
Please note that these effects are not a guarantee and you should discuss your expectations with us to ensure we can cater effectively to your needs.
