IMPLANT-RETAINED DENTURES

Implant-Retained Dentures

If you are unhappy with your current dentures slipping around and falling out of your mouth, dental implants can help. If you aren’t prepared to invest in a full set of dental implants, you might be interested in implant-retained dentures. In this solution, implants help your denture stay in place, but they don’t provide support for biting and chewing — that’s still on your gums.  

If you are considering implant-retained dentures in Hawkesbury, please call (02) 4501 7930 or book an appointment today with an implant dentist at Riverlands Dental in North Richmond.

Benefits of Implant-Retained Dentures

Compared to traditional dentures, implant-retained dentures will give you a much better experience. Implant-retained dentures: 
  • Stay in Place for Talking, Laughing, and Eating 
  • Improve Bite Force 
  • Can Be Adapted from Current Denture 
  • Are an Inexpensive Solution 
The main problem with dentures is that they just don’t stay in place, which makes it hard to speak clearly, laugh out loud, and eat with confidence. Implant-retained dentures give a good solution to these problems. Using just two implants, these dentures stay in place much better than traditional dentures.  

Implant-retained dentures help your denture stay in place, which lets you bit down with more force, although this is far below the force of natural teeth or All-on-4, Prettau Bridges, and other implant-supported dentures.  

If you have high-quality dentures that are relatively new (not worn out), we can often convert them into implant-retained dentures. This can save you the cost of new dentures.  

With the use of only two implants and the potential to use your current dentures, implant-retained dentures are often the most affordable implant denture solution.
  • Can I Get Implant-Retained Dentures If I’ve Had Dentures a Long Time?

    When your teeth are removed, your body removes the bone that used to support them. This can make it trick to place dental implants. But most people still have enough bone to support the small implants used in this procedure.

  • How Much Will Implants Improve My Biting and Talking?

    Implant-retained dentures aren’t a full implant solution, but they will still make it easier to bite, chew, and talk. You will be able to eat most foods and speak without worrying your denture will come out.

Implant-Retained vs. Implant-Supported Dentures

Traditional dentures don’t work like natural teeth mostly because they just sit on the tooth gums. Gums aren’t designed to support the force of biting. Natural teeth are anchored in the bone, giving support to the teeth and letting them bite down hard.  

Dental implants are anchored in the bone, and implant-supported dentures are designed to take bite force and direct it town to the bone rather than onto the gums. Implant-supported dentures give you a bite force close to natural teeth.  

Implant-retained dentures just use implants to hold them in place. The force is mostly directed onto your gums. Biting and chewing improves a little because your denture stays in place, but it’s not as much as with implant-supported denture.
