At Bromley’s Denture Clinic in Tweed Heads South, we offer implant-retained overdentures for clients throughout the Tweed and Gold Coast.
After an oral surgeon or dentist has placed implants in your jawbone and completed their treatment, and implant retained overdenture can be constructed. These are dentures which clip onto the implants and are designed to be removed every day for cleaning.
Implant retained overdentures are tissue supported (meaning they fit like a conventional denture) and clip onto implants. This provides retention and stability during function. Ongoing maintenance is still required with implant retained overdentures to ensure the best fit and function.
There are many benefits you may achieve with an implant-retained overdenture. Generally, people say their eating and speaking is improved as well as their overall confidence in the denture. Implant-retained overdentures are significantly more stable than conventional dentures and cannot be moved as easily with the tongue.
This means people are able to chew food more thoroughly, helping with digestion and absorption of nutrients. Additionally, since the tongue does not move the denture as easily, speaking can be more natural, as well as smiling and laughing – all without the fear of the denture falling out.
Even after many adjustments and different styles tried, conventional
full or partial dentures are not the best solution for every mouth, particularly for the lower jaw. Implant-retained overdentures may be indicated or recommended by a dentist or oral surgeon if conventional dentures are poorly tolerated, if there is a changed anatomy, neuromuscular disorders, significant gag reflexes, or a considerable ridge resorption.
After your implant-retained overdenture has been completed, our team will provide adjustments to make sure the fit is comfortable.
