Implant Retained Full Dentures
One of the recurring issues dentists frequently encounter with full dentures, especially lower dentures, is poor retention and constant movement whilst talking or eating.This is due to minimal bone available to support the denture that sits between two very strong and mobile muscles, the lips and tongue, The constant movement of the dentures result in chronic rubbing of the gums leading to pain and sore spots.
If you’ve been experiencing the same problem, dental implants at Crescent Dental can help to stabilise and retain your denture, giving you added support compared to regular dentures.
If you no longer have any teeth in your jaw, but you have enough bone remaining, an implant-supported denture can give you the best of both worlds: keeping your dentures held solidly in place while you’re chewing or talking, while also letting you easily remove them for cleaning. As the dentures attach to the underlying implants they are very stable and make it easy to chew a wide range of food including fruits thus improving your overall nutrition as well as allowing you to talk naturally. Another advantage of implants is that they will preserve jawbone as they act similar to teeth.
Advantages
- Stability during eating/talking
- Increased preservation of bone as they are very similar to natural tooth roots.
- Decreased gum tissue shrinkage
- Less food seepage under the denture
- Superior aesthetics
- Social interactions accomplished comfortably
- A feeling close to that of your natural teeth
- Dietary nutritional benefits
Disadvantages
- A lot of factors determine the suitability of a person to receive implants, this includes medical health status, remaining bone height + width and therefore an initial consultation for proper evaluation is very important in which we will discuss with you the treatment procdure that implants entaila s well as treatment alternatives if you were not able to receive implants.
- The procedure may take longer duration to complete.
- More costlier than dentures only but if you factor in the replacement costs of the denture over a period of time (which is not necessary with implant retained dentures) the costing is actually less then dentures in that case.
GRAFTING AND AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE
For Implants to be stable and successful they need to be embeded in bone, however in some cases this is not possible as there is not enough jaw bone for the implant. This could be due to a number of reasons; e.g missing tooth for a long time which resorbs/shrinks the bone, or due to gum/jaw bone. However this does not mean that an implant couldn’t be done at a site. Newer techniques and advancements in dental implant surgery have made available dental grafting treatment, in which bone can be added fixed to allow implants to be put in place.

What is bone grafting and augmentation?
Bone grafting is a procedure in which the bone quantity could be increased if there is not enough jawbone to secure a dental implant. There are many ways in which this could be achieved. We could harvest bone from another part of the mouth or by using an artificial material to build up the jawbone. This new graft will fuse with your own jawbone and will thus generate new bone, which can support the implant which is usually placed few months later.
Where is the bone taken from?
For bulking up bone we can either harvestnatural bone which can be taken from the body or we can use synthetic materials. If your own bone is chosen for the graft it can be taken from either the chin area or from the back part of your lower jaw (ramus). This is called Autograft. If there is not enough bone in these areas bone from other areas of the body could be utilized. The advantage of using bone from your body is that there is no risk of rejection of the graft as this is part of your own body.
For some patients, a their own bone graft isn’t the best option. In this case we can use synthetic materials to encourage your jaw bone to grow into these materials. These substances could either be Allografts or Xenografts. This procedure stimulates the body cells in that area to grow new bone without the need for harvesting bone from a donor site. We can discuss all these options with you after initial assessment and X-ray examination.
We can prescribe antibiotics, pain medication and antibacterial mouthwash to increase the success rate. We also recommend a soft diet after the surgery for 2-3days, and to avoidmouthwash putting pressure on the area while it heals.
Success Rate
Bone grafts are usually very successful treatment option, which can bulk up the bone and make it possible for us to do Implants at a site that would otherwise be deemed suitable for a denture or a bridge. However as with any surgical condition there is a small risk of failure. This could be due to a medical condition e.g uncontrolled Diabetes or not taking the precautions prescribed by the surgeon after the graft procedure. Another leading risk for failure is smoking.
At Crescent Dental we endeavour to provide you the best possible care andthus undertake bone grafting and augmentation treatments for our patients that have reduced jawbone and will help you on the road to a perfect smile.
Soft Tissue Grafts
Gums can recede due to a number of reasons. It could occur due to untreated gum disease, improper tooth brushing technique, or due to removal of neighbouring teeth all of which will cause the gum line to recede. As a result the tooth root is visible and the teeth appear longer. The root also has open dentinal tubules (nerve endings) which if exposed will cause hypersensitivity and also makes the tooth vulnerable to infection. Also during Implant therapy sometimes there is sufficient bone but there may not be enough gum and soft tissue. A Soft tissue graft will correct all these problems as well as prevent any further recession.
Why Are My Gums Receding?
Your gums can start to recede because of the following reasons:
- Gum Disease – Infections in the gum will affect the tissue and bone that holds your teeth in their place. Gum disease is the main reason why gums recede.
- Incorrect Tooth Brushing – If your brushing technique is incorrectly or you brush your teeth too hard you can cause trauma to the gum and as a result they can recede. Incorrect brushing will also wear your teeth and expose root surfaces.
- Poor Dental Hygiene – If Oral hygiene practices like proper brushing, flossing and rinsing with mouthwash are not adhered to then this can lead to accumulation of plaque (which mainly consists of bacteria) which in turn can also lead to gum recession.
- Hormonal Changes – During pregnancy, there is an increased risk of gum inflammation and thus pregnant women are at a higher risk of gum loss and sensitivity.
At Crescent Dental we offer multiple types of soft tissue grafts including free Gingival Grafts / Connective Tissue Grafts / Pedicle Grafts, Guided Tissue Regeneration, Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty and a Frenectomy.
Free Gingival Graft/Connective Tissue Graft/Pedicle Graft
These types of grafts involve taking of soft tissue either from another part of the mouth (usually the palate) or from an in vitro (out side the body) collagen source, which is stitched either on the exposed roots or under the existing gums at the site of recession. This increases the thickness of the gum tissue. It also protects exposed tooth roots. The donor site is also stitched back and allowed to heal. A pedicle graft on the other hand involves gum tissue to be harvested from the adjacent tooth. A flap from the adjacent tooth is slightly moved to the site of the recession to cover the exposed root and is stichted there. Both the sites are left to heal then.
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR)
In this procedure we use a collagen membrane along with the use of a special get matrix to encourage new gum tussue regeneration. Tooth roots effected by recession or periodontal disease need to be made disease free by extensive cleaning. Then the gel is applied to the problem tooth root that will stimulate the growth of tissue and bone matter. This makes your body think a new tooth is growing. Another treatment involves your dentist surgically inserting compatible material in-between the tooth and bone. This promotes bone growth.
Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
This procedure is used to reshape gum tissue. Sometimes gums can overgrow making the teeth look smaller that they are. With gingivectomy and gingivoplasty, the gums are recontoured to restore the appropriate proportions of tooth and gums.
Socket Preservation
One of the main complications of an extraction of tooth is loss of bone that supports the tooth. If this bone loss goes unchecked it can cause gum recession and make it harder for us to place an implant at that site. With socket preservation we can reduce the amount of bone lost after a tooth extraction. At Crescent Dental we offer socket preservation that will stop bone loss making the implant process easier to perform in the future.
Socket Preservation Procedure
This procedure takes place after the extraction of a tooth. A bone graft material is placed in the socket of the extracted tooth. The bone graft is either made of Human bone, animal bone such as cow or synthetic material. After the grafting procedure the dentist covers the area with a membrane which is stitched to the gums. The graft serves as extra bone as well as a a scaffold for new your own new bone to grow into the site. This will preserve the socketarea for a long term.
If Implant placement at an extraction site is not planned to be undertaken relatively sooner (3-4months after Extraction), preserving the site and preventing any untoward effects of bone resorption with the help of socket preservation technique is the next best option.
If a tooth was lost without preserving the site, you still don’t need to worry as there are other solutions (hard and soft tissue graft) to get the jawbone back to the way it should be. We are more than happy to discuss any concerns with you.
