Missing All Upper or Lower Teeth

In some cases, advanced gum disease, tooth decay, trauma, or a medical condition, either alone or in combination with each other, can cause the loss of all of the upper and lower teeth.

Ball Attachment Dentures

Ball attachment dentures, also known as stud attachment dentures, use a system of balls and sockets to secure the denture in place. The dental implants are equipped with a ball-shaped protrusion that fits into a socket on the denture. This design provides stability and retention, making it easier to chew and speak without worrying about the denture slipping. Ball attachment dentures are a popular choice for patients seeking an effective and removable solution for missing teeth.

Bar Attachment Dentures

Bar attachment dentures involve a metal bar that connects multiple dental implants. The denture is then secured to the bar using clips or attachments. This method offers a strong and stable fit, allowing for better chewing efficiency and comfort compared to traditional dentures. Bar attachment dentures are particularly beneficial for patients with limited bone structure, as they distribute the biting force evenly across the implants.

Screw Retained Dentures

Screw retained dentures are permanently anchored to dental implants, providing a secure and fixed solution for patients missing all lower teeth. Unlike traditional removable dentures, these dentures cannot be taken out by the patient. They offer enhanced stability and prevent any movement during chewing or speaking. Regular dental visits are necessary for maintenance, but patients enjoy the convenience of a secure and natural-feeling smile.

Individual Implants

Individual implants involve placing a dental implant for each missing tooth. This method provides a highly customizable solution, allowing for the replacement of each tooth while preserving the surrounding bone and gum tissue. Individual implants look and function like natural teeth, offering optimal aesthetics and comfort. While this option may be more costly and require more time for placement and healing, it is an excellent choice for patients seeking the best long-term results.

Implant Retained Upper Dentures

Implant retained upper dentures are designed to provide a secure and stable solution for individuals missing all upper teeth. These dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. This method offers enhanced support and retention compared to traditional removable dentures, reducing the risk of slipping or discomfort while eating or speaking. Patients with implant retained upper dentures can enjoy greater confidence in their smile, improved chewing efficiency, and a more natural appearance.

Individual Upper Implants

Individual upper implants involve placing a separate dental implant for each missing tooth in the upper arch. This approach provides the most natural look and feel, closely resembling the function of real teeth. Individual implants preserve the surrounding bone and gum tissue, preventing further deterioration and maintaining facial structure. While this option requires a longer treatment process and may involve a higher cost, it offers a long-term solution that is durable and aesthetically pleasing.
