Removable Dentures on Implants

Removable dentures attached to dentures allow you to remove dentures so you can clean themself.

Removable Implant Dentures On The Gold Coast

Removable dentures on implants are used for the lower jaw and use a minimum of two implants. The front of the denture is attached to the implants with the back of the denture resting on your gums. The removable denture clips onto the dental implants, which allows you to remove the dentures for cleaning.

A benefit of this is you don’t have to rely on dental appointments to give your denture a thorough clean. Although, you will of course need to attend regular dental appointments, not just for your oral health but also to ensure your denture is still providing the necessary support.

The process for removable dentures on implants

The treatment process for removable dentures on implants involves 4 steps.

Step 1

The first step is the consultation. This is where one of our team perform an oral health check. Using this information in conjunction with your desired outcome we will start the preparation and planning.

Step 2

The second step is preparation and planning. To ensure you receive the best option for your oral health, we may need to take x-rays and CT scans. This will allow us to get the best picture of your oral health and start planning your denture.

The treatment plan will be determined by what your desired outcome is and your general oral health. One thing which is necessary for any implant treatment is jawbone density. To place implants there must be an adequate amount of jawbone for the implants to fuse with.

Step 3

The third step is the placement of dental implants. This where the 2 to 4 implants are placed in your jaw. Healing time for implants can be between 2 and 3 months. In some cases, we can provide you with a temporary denture to wear while your jaw heals around the implants.

Step 4

The last step is the construction and placement of your denture. For this step, we will give your denture to make sure it fits correctly. And if it does, it will then be securely fitted to your dental implants. One of our team will show you how to take proper care of your removable denture and schedule a follow-up appointment to make sure everything is going well with your prosthetic.
