IMPLANT- SUPPORTED AND IMPLANT-RETAINED DENTURES
When full dentures are difficult to wear implant supported or retained dentures become necessary.
An Implant -supported AND IMPLANT-RETAINED AND denture ARE excellent choiceS for a full denture with more security. AT LEAST TWO implants are required for A removable Implant-RETAINed dentures. The first step is determining if the jawbone is thick enough to support the implants. This is accomplished by taking a CBCT 3D scan with our ORTHOPHOS 3D machine .
The “root” portion of the implants are placed in the jaw first and allowed to settle for 3-6months. When the “root” portion of the implant is stable abutments are placed on top. The abutments connect the implants to the gaskets on the underside of the denture.
An FIXED OR REMOVABLE Implant-SUPPORTED Denture is screwed to four to eight OR MORE implants. It is unscrewed and cleaned by Dr. Leann on a regular basis. Because it is screwed to the implants it is very secure.
