Lower Denture Implants

What are lower denture implants?

Lower Denture Implants are either full or partial dentures made for your bottom jaw with the improved comfort of being fastened securely in place.

Partial dentures are used when there are teeth remaining in your bottom jaw, and dentures are created to replace the few missing teeth. Full lower dentures are used when there are no teeth remaining in the bottom jaw and a full denture is required.

The final result is achieved by placing titanium Implants  into the lower jaw in a fast and painless procedure that enable the denture/s to sit comfortably and securely in place.

How does the procedure work?

Phase 1: Implantation

Consisting of up to three trips to the clinic, your dentist will place dental implants in the most precise manner. Your jaw will be healed between 3-5 months including fusion between the implant and your bone.

Phase 2: Dentures

Once the implants are healed, the denture steps begin. The common steps include taking the first and secondary impressions, a bite registration, trying on the dentures, the final insertion, and follow-up. Your dentist will walk you through each step of this process.

There are several benefits to lower denture implants.

• They have an added level of comfort, as lower dentures are more likely to move as they do not have the added assistance of suction that upper dentures are awarded.

• They improve your confidence to eat, smile and speak with ease.

• Implants assist with jaw bone preservation and prevent deterioration as when you are missing teeth there is less stimulation in the jaw bone to promote growth.

• Improved jaw appearance, as with jaw bone preservation, the appearance of your jaw can be sustained with implants as they assist in supporting the structure of your jaw and face.
