Full Upper Denture and Lower Implant-Retained Denture – Starting from $10,000
A full upper denture and lower implant-retained denture provide a complete set of replacement teeth for both the upper and lower jaws. The upper denture relies on suction for stability, while the lower denture is secured with dental implants for enhanced stability and function.
The Full Upper Denture and Lower Implant-Retained Denture Process:
This involves carefully orchestrated steps requiring precision and expertise. Here are the steps:
Initial Consultation
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation. The dentist evaluates the patient’s oral health, discusses their needs and expectations, and creates a customised treatment plan.
Implant Placement for Lower Denture
Two titanium implants are placed in the lower jaw to secure the lower denture. This is done under local anaesthesia or intravenous sedation.
Osseointegration
The implants are left to integrate with the jawbone over several months, ensuring a stable foundation for the denture.
Denture Fabrication and Placement
Impressions of the mouth are taken to create custom upper and lower dentures. The lower denture is designed to attach to the implants for added stability.
Surgical Guide and Denture Placement
A surgical guide is used to ensure precise placement of the dentures. The upper denture relies on suction for stability, while the lower denture is attached to the implants.
Follow-up Care
Regular check-ups and adjustments are necessary to ensure the dentures fit comfortably and function effectively.
