Implant Based Denture

Implants are substitutes for lost teeth. In this procedure we need not cut down the teeth either side for crowns to support the bridge.

Implant Based Denture

Implant-supported dentures, also called implant dentures, are an effective dental treatment to replace missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. As the name suggests, dentures are anchored to the jawbone through dental implants. There are 4 types of implant-supported dentures. They are implant-supported fixed dentures, implant-supported removable partial dentures, implant-supported upper dentures,s, and implant-supported overdenture.

What Are The Different Types Of Implant-Supported Dentures?

Here are 4 different types of denture implants:

  • Implant-supported Fixed Dentures
  • Implant-supported Removable Partial Denture
  • Implant-supported Upper Denture
  • Implant-Supported Overdenture

Implant-supported Fixed Dentures

Implant-supported fixed dentures are a type of denture that is permanently attached to the jaw bone along with prosthetic gum tissue. Fixed-implant-supported dentures are secure and comfortable. According to a study published in Clinical Implant Dentistry And Related Research in 2020, Implant-supported fixed partial dentures (ISFPDs) have a 72.7% estimated survival rate at 30 years.

Implant-supported Removable Partial Denture

Implant-supported removable partial dentures (ISRPDs) are similar to fixed dentures, except they partially replace the teeth and are removable. They are also more cost-effective and require less bone structure to support the dentures. However, patients are required to remove and clean the dentures every night.

Implant-supported Upper Denture

Implant-supported upper dentures are a relatively new solution for missing teeth in which dentists use two to four dental implants to keep the denture stable on the upper jaw. It is a very comfortable and functional treatment, but lower teeth usually require more careful adjustments.

Implant-Supported Overdenture

Overdentures can be supported by the remaining natural teeth or implants. Implant-supported overdentures, as the name suggests, are supported by implant posts, and they are snapped on the implants using clips or bars. Patients can remove and rinse implant overdentures for overnight cleaning.
