Dentures serve as good solution for replacement of missing teeth.
But If there are denture fitting problems, it usually starts with the lower denture.
The lower gum ridge in your mouth is actually much smaller than the upper gum ridge.
For ultimate comfort and stability the best option is a dental-implant supported denture.
An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that is supported by implants.
A regular denture rests on the gums, and is not supported by implants. An implant-supported denture has special attachments that snap onto attachments on the implants.
The denture actually ‘snaps-in’ to the lower ridge and rests easily on the gum.
This patient came to Happy Smiles Dental Clinic, Pune wishing to have a solution for her missing teeth.
She had previously tried using a removable partial denture but was not happy with it.
So we placed 2 implants in her lower jaw. We waited for 3 months for the implants to osseointegrate in the surrounding bone.
Then a new overdenture was given on these implants.
A part of attachment is present in the denture which fits on the attachments on implants.
She was satisfied with the fit of denture provided due to implants.
