Dental implants can provide stability to loose and ill-fitting dentures. Dental implants can connect to or attach to dentures. Because dental implants provide denture stabilization, they can take away all of the problems with dentures and restore you to function, provide security and enjoyment of life. Partial dentures can be used with the support of healthy existing teeth or implants or the combination of both.
Example of implant supported denture:
Four dental implants with a bar attached to them provide greater stability and security and still have the advantages of a removable denture. The bar connecting the dental implants supports the denture. Every case is individual therefore each patient may need different number of dental implants to hold a denture like this.
By securing the denture in this manner, denture sore spots and tipping are no longer present. This gives an extremely stable and secure result. The denture has a natural appearance. It will need to be removed for cleansing to keep oral hygiene at high standards.
A removable partial denture (RPD) is for a partially edentulous (having no teeth) dental patient who desires to have replacement teeth for functional and esthetic reasons, and who cannot have a bridge (a bridge is permanently fixed, cemented) for any number of reasons, such as a lack of required teeth to serve as support for a bridge or due to financial limitations. The reason why this type of prosthesis is referred to as a removable
partial denture is because patients can remove and should remove it for cleaning purposes and reinsert them when required without professional help. Conversely, a “fixed” prosthesis (fixed bridge) can and should be removed only by a dental professional. On pictures 1 & 2 no metal showing when patient is wearing the denture.
