Implant-Supported Dentures in Mumbai
Conventional dentures can be a suitable tooth replacement option, but some patients find that their dentures move during eating or speaking. Implant-supported dentures use dental implants to help retain or support a denture, depending on the design.
At Dental Dynasty in Malad West, Mumbai, patients who want to explore alternatives to conventional dentures can discuss implant-supported options and whether these may suit their oral health and treatment goals.
The recommended design depends on the condition of the jawbone, the number of implants planned, the type of denture and the patient's ability to maintain the restoration.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are dentures that use dental implants for support or retention. The implants are placed in the jawbone and connect to the denture through an attachment system or another planned design.
Depending on the treatment, an implant-supported denture may be removable by the patient for cleaning or designed as a fixed restoration. Your dentist can explain the differences and the care required for each option.
Types of Implant-Supported Dentures
Removable Implant-Retained Dentures
These dentures connect to implants through attachments that help improve retention. The patient can remove the denture for cleaning as instructed by the dental team.
Fixed Implant-Supported Teeth
In selected cases, implants may support a fixed bridge or full-arch restoration that is not intended to be removed by the patient. This option has different cleaning and maintenance requirements from a removable denture.
Snap-On Dentures
The term “snap-on dentures” is often used for removable dentures that attach to implant-based connectors. Suitability depends on the available bone, implant positions and the required denture design.
