Dental Implant Dentures
In simple terms a bridge only replaces the crowns of the teeth. When teeth are lost the gum and bone will recede (shrink back) over time as it is no longer needed to support teeth.
In order to replace missing teeth with bone loss, a prosthesis is needed which also has a proportion of artificial gums usually made of pink acrylic or porcelain. Implant based dentures can be made.
These may be held in by press-stud type or bar attachments making them removable for cleaning. Alternatively small hidden screws may fix the dental denture in place.
These can be readily removed by a clinician for cleaning and maintenance.
