Implant Supported Dentures

what is it?

Implant supported and Implant retained dentures are dentures which are attached to the gums by implants. Loose fitting dentures make patients more uncomfortable, so to make them comfortable stabilizing it with implants can be a more functional solution.

Bar-Retained Dentures

When fitting bar-retained dentures, three or more dental implants are placed into the jaw bone. Metal bars then run along the gum line between each of the implants. The denture rests on the bars, attaching with metal clips. This structure secures the denture’s placement without the need for the steel studs used in ball-retained dentures.

Ball-Retained Dentures

Ball-retained dentures, also called stud-attached dentures, function with a ball and socket mechanism. The denture base has several sockets that line up with balls placed on dental implants in the jaw bone. The balls and sockets fit together for an extremely secure fit, allowing for an open palate denture.
