WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DENTAL IMPLANT
DENTURES AND REMOVABLE DENTURES?
Removable dentures are simple to make and
generally inexpensive compared to other
alternatives like dental bridges and dental
implants. However dentures are problematic for
anyone who is having to live with them. The
problem with dentures is that they are removable
and have no retention or support in the mouth.
The only way a normal removable denture can be
stabilized in the mouth is by means of a suction
seal for the upper denture. This suction is
created on the roof of the mouth when the upper
denture is closely adapted to the mouth. The
problem with this is that the denture becomes
bulky and difficult to accommodate in the mouth.
In addition to this covering the roof of the
mouth affects speech, function and reduces the
ability to taste food properly.
SMALL ATTACHMENTS PRESENT INSIDE THE DENTAL
IMPLANT DENTURE For lower dentures there is even
less likelihood of the denture remaining stable.
The lower denture has no suction and hence only
depends on the denture being extended on the
ridge and some help from gravity. There is really
nothing else that keeps removable dentures in
place. If you ask anyone who wears dentures they
will tell you that the lower denture is a real
problem to cope with. Patients continuously
complain about
2
movement, accidental movements out of the mouth,
sores on the gums etc. The ideal solution to
replace multiple teeth is to consider a fixed
dental bridgeor dental implant dentures. A fixed
dental bridge is supported on a minimum of 4
implants and is secured by means of small screws
onto the implants. There is no movement with a
fixed dental bridge as it is completely fixed and
solid.
Dental Implant Dentures Can Also Help Maintain
The Proper Facial Profiles With dental implant
dentures, dental implants are still used however
the removable denture is stabilized by means of
the dental implants. This option can be ideal for
someone who is keen to keep a denture however
needs some help with the denture not moving.
The dentures are made precisely to fit onto the
implants. The denture can be supported by 2-4
implants on the lower jaw however 2 implants is
sufficient. On the upper jaw, a minimum of 4
implants is needed and these are stabilized by
means of the 4 implants plus a precision bar
connecting the 4 implants.

Clinic Dental implant dentures are much better
than ordinary removable dentures. The difference
with dental implant dentures is that they click
securely onto the dental implants and make
functioning with the denture much easier. In the
upper jaw the denture does not cover as much of
the roof of the mouth as an ordinary full upper
denture. Dental implant dentures can also help
maintain the proper facial profiles for those
patients who have lost a lot of bone and tissue
support. A fixed dental bridge on dental implants
can sometimes not replace the missing bone and
tissues hence may look less ideal than a dental
implant denture. Ready To Find Out More About
