REPLACING your MISSING TEETH WITH IMPLANT RETAINED DENTURES
There are times when a patient needs a complete set of dentures. In that case, he/she can want more stability or support which can be satisfied with the help of implant-supported dentures. Going for this option stabilizes the lower denture that is more likely to move around. Our dentist generally recommends getting two implants that go into the lower jawbone and then use a ball that sticks up from them. If you get the implant-retained dentures at our dental office, they will be handcrafted keeping your specific needs in mind, and have “hitches” that allow them to perfectly fit on the implants.
Though most of the patients do not face any trouble while wearing the upper dentures, they might find it difficult to eat while wearing lower dentures. To resolve this issue, one can choose to go for the numerous implant-supported replacement options that are available if someone has lost all their lower teeth.
WHAT IF I’M MISSING ALL OF MY LOWER TEETH?
BALL ATTACHMENT DENTURE
One of the options is to get two implants surgically fitted into your lower jaw and a denture that perfectly sits on these implants. This provides more stability and support to the lower dentures while eating or chewing if compared with the ones without implants. But, there can still be movement of your lower dentures and lead to sore spots caused due to food particles caught under them. Just like all the other teeth replacement treatment options, you will have to visit the dental office for denture adjustments.

BAR ATTACHED DENTURE
One other option is to put 4-6 implants in your lower jaw. The number of implants required for the completion of the process directly depends on the shape and size of your jaw. Once the healing is complete, a custom-made bar is used to connect the implants. The denture is made with special retention clips that attach to the support bar and as a result, allows the dentures to fit perfectly in their place. This is also known by the term “overdenture”. The primary benefit of this option is that it offers more stability, support, and very little movement of the dentures. To add on, the denture can still be easily removed for maintenance and cleaning.

SCREW RETAINED DENTURE
The third option i.e screw-retained denture can also be an effective solution if you are suffering from problems related to missing all lower teeth. In this option, five or more implants are placed in your jaw along with attaching a permanent denture to it. Screws or clasps are used to keep the denture in place. The denture is secured to the bar or support posts. You will not have to face any trouble cleaning the denture as it does not touch the gum tissue. The denture used in this process replaces all your missing teeth and is never removed unless you visit your dentist for maintenance purposes. It is to be noted that one can face more difficulty cleaning under the dentures without removing them. Patients who have permanent dentures often go for this method as they have no other viable option.

WHAT IF I’M MISSING ALL OF MY UPPER TEETH?
Dentures are considered to be a great choice for people who have one or multiple missing teeth. You can not be enabled to chew properly or even speak normally due to missing teeth. It also deteriorates the facial structure of a person. Dentures are specifically designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. Moreover, when you get dentures from our dental office, they are custom-made to meet all your oral requirements. The beauty of your smile gets restored and also has a positive impact on your overall physical appearance. Here at DNA Dental Studio, we use biocompatible dentistry materials. Though, you might need one or more dental implants as the bone is not as hard as your lower jaw. The need to cover the roof of your mouth with a complete denture solely depends on the number of implants required in your case. Going for this option enables you to get the proper taste of your food and also allows you to experience a better sense of the food’s temperature.
