What are Implant Retained Dentures?

They are oral items that are held in place using implants placed in the jawbone, which provide more stability. Many experts also refer to them as implant-supported dentures.

What makes them different from other dental appliances is that they do not depend on your gums to stay in position. Rather, they attach to the implants with the help of clips, making them a lot firmer.

Benefits of Using an Implant Supported Denture

You will see many improvements in your daily life after using these items. Learning more about the plus sides they bring will allow you to make a better choice. You should also communicate your needs with the prosthetist to get a more satisfactory implant retained denture. Let’s take a look at some of the advantages of these oral appliances.

Remain in Position Better

The dental implants used these types of oral appliances fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). It ensures that dentures remain firmly in place once they are clipped onto the implant. This reduces the need for constant adjustment or use of any oral adhesives.

Easy to Adapt

Owing to their stability, it is not as hard for the mouth to get used to the dental item. You can start living a normal life again more quickly after getting them.

Improved Eating

Many regular oral appliances make it harder to chew some types of foods. With implant-supported denture, this is less likely to occur allowing to have a have more complete diet and get all the necessary nutrients.

Seems Natural from the Outside

Dental implants blend in with the bone patterns of the jaw, which lessens the chances of face-saging that occurs due to missing teeth.

Lesser Irritation

Implants are a lot more stable, so there is a lesser chance of them rubbing against your gums. Most patients find them comfortable with very few complaints

Fitting Implant-Supported Dentures in the Mouth

Getting these types of dentures can help you massively. The procedure is also not too hard to grasp, and goes like this

Titanium Implants (similar to the ones used during dental implants) are placed inside the jawbone through surgery
Implants heal soon and then merge with the jawbone (osseointegration).
Special attachments are then added to the implant.
These attachments are added for clips to snap or lock into.
The denture can still be unclipped once you are done using it.

If you have any difficulties or queries, you can discuss them with the prosthetist.

Types Of Implant-Supported Dentures that We Offer

Our clinic provides you with a variety of choices when it comes to these dentures. Make sure you discuss preferences and needs clearly with your prosthetist so you can get the right one for your needs.

Locator/Snap-in Dentures

They consist of locator attachments, which are there for dentures to snap onto and remain in place. These dentures are removable and are a very common choice. Suitable for when you need around 2-4 implants.

Bar-Retained Dentures

It is a great option for those who prioritise maximum stability for their dentures. The implants are connected together by a metal bar, and the denture clips onto the bar to stay in place. They are removable as well, making it a good fit for those who do not like wearing them full-time

Fixed Implant Dentures

It offers a very similar feel to natural teeth, making it a good choice for patients who do not like the irritation that some dentures provide. The denture is screwed in and is not removable without help from a prosthetist.

Our 5-Step Process: What You Can Expect

FBA Dental Services has a very direct and clear procedure for helping patients get implant-retained dentures. We encourage open communication at every stage to keep you updated on our progress. Here’s how we do things at our facilities:

Consultation

You have to visit us and discuss your needs along with your medical history to see if you are fit to get the denture or not. Do not panic if you are not deemed ready for the oral appliance, as our experts will always try to give you suitable alternatives.

Adding Implants

A very simple dental surgery is used to insert the implants into your jawbone. In the coming months, it will merge with the bone for more stability. This process is also referred to as osseointegration.

Placing Abutement

Once they both fuse together, a metal connector (also called an abutment) will be attached to the implant. The abutment makes it easier to connect them both.

Denture Installation

Patient who have another type of denture can get them adjusted and use them with their implants. In case this is not possible, a new one will have to be created. Regardless, our experts do their best to customise the oral item so that it is compatible with the dimensions of your mouth.

Recovery

When all the above tasks are completed, we will arrange follow-up visits to assess the oral items and implants. You can always inform us if you face any difficulties. We also check and make changes to the prosthetic, if needed.

After Care and Continued Support

Getting your implant retained dentures is not the end of the journey, as you still need to take good care of them. Sometimes these dental appliances may have to be adjusted in the future as well. Our experts are always there to help you out if you notice any issues arising after the handover. On rare occasions, you may need to reline them as well, which we can help with.

It will take some time for your mouth to get used to it. This is a normal part of the healing and nothing to worry about. Here are a few things you need to keep in mind:

Experiencing sore spots, increased saliva production, heaviness or slight irritation in the mouth are common in the first few days.
You should take a lot of rest during the first 48-72 hours after surgery. Do not exert yourself much physically, as it can cause bleeding.
Following 2-3 days of rest, you can return to the office or school and slowly get back to other normal tasks.
After a week or so, things will begin to feel more natural. This does not mean you have fully recovered, as the healing will carry on for the next few months or so.
The prosthetist will give you a healing denture, which is different from your final denture.
Healing dentures do not attach to the implant, which allows them to continue healing. But you can still function well with them.
The body should take around 3-6 months to recover after the implant has been placed.
If you’ve also had bone grafting, then recovery may take longer.

Keep Your Implant-Retained Dentures in Better Condition

You should always take good care of any dental item to increase its shelf life. Here are some good daily care habits to follow:

Clean your dentures at least twice a day
If they are removable, then soak them overnight in an appropriate dental solution.
For fixed dentures, brush them with a bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
Be sure to brush and floss around the dental apparatus as well.
Visit a specialist every now and then for cleanings and general check-ups.

Having to replace your dentures prematurely can be a pain. So follow the above advice well so your dentures last longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an implant-retained denture cost?

It varies depending on the type of implant-retained denture you get, its quality, how it is made, etc. But they do offer good value for money and require fewer replacements.

Do implant-retained dentures come out?

Yes, some of them are removable, like snap-in dentures and bar-retained dentures. But some of them are also fixed, so discuss this with your prosthetist.

How long do implant-retained dentures last?

The oral items that are attached to the implants can last around 15-20 years, while the implants are designed to last for a lifetime.

Can you sleep with implant-retained dentures?

It depends on whether or not they are removable. The fixed ones are designed to remain safely in your mouth while sleeping without harming your oral health, but the removable ones need to be taken out at night.

Who is suitable for implant-retained dentures?

The patient needs to have a good jawbone density to support the dental apparatus. However, those who have lower bone density or are experiencing bone loss may go for them after performing procedures like bone grafting.

Can I get implant-supported dentures if I already have regular ones?

Yes, you can and sometimes the prosthetist may assign you the old dentures for temporary use while you recover from an implant placement.

Can I get implant-supported dentures if some natural teeth are still present?

Yes, you can, but it depends on how many natural teeth are present and sometimes also their positioning. If most of your natural teeth are not present, then an implant-supported denture is usually recommended. However, if the majority of natural teeth are present, then prosthetists may suggest other suitable alternatives.

Are there any dietary restrictions when I get them?

Only during the first 3 months or so, because the mouth is adapting to the implants, and the integration of the implants to the jawbone takes time. During this phase, experts recommend softer foods to avoid putting too much stress on the implant. After 3 months, you may gradually progress to harder foods, and soon after that, you can eat pretty much anything you want.

Are implant-supported dentures better than conventional ones?

The answer to this will vary by patient, but most of them do consider implant-supported dentures to be superior. The main reasons for this are that they are more stable, give you better chewing ability, reduce bone resorption to preserve jaw health, are more comfortable, improve speech, and generally deliver more value for money in the long-term.

Who qualifies for implants?

Most patients can easily get implant-supported dentures. The only exceptions are patients who have low bensity, either due to age, or any other reason. However, in recent years, techniques like bone grafting are gaining popularity, but they may not be suitable for everyone. You can always consult an expert if you want to get a final opinion.
