I am wondering if i could get a brief synopsis here of the steps done to put in dental implants using an existing denture.

Dental implants.: One way to do it as there are many, with a well fitting denture, conventional implants may be placed and "burried" under the gums for 3 to 6 months to heal. When integrated with your bone, attachments are fixed in the dental office to the implants, as well as in your denture allowing them to attach, or snap togeather, taking pressure off your bone and gums, and making denture much more stable.

Dr Paudel agreed

Retrofit synopsis: Current denture examined carefully for ideal functioning before implants. The bone quality and health history of the patient is examined and then implants are placed. The upper jaw requires more time than the lower for the implants to be stable. 5-6 months for the upper, 3-4 for the lower as a guideline. Parts are ordered to connect the denture to the implants. More detail needs to be provided.

Over denture : Given the fact that the existing denture has a very good fit , stable , and you have enough bone to support implants , that carries male connectors , which in turn connects to a female connectors in the fitting surface of the denture , that is then called over denture..

Dr Davantzis agreed

Common procedure: Unfortunately many people are missing enough teeth and using full dentures. Some of them are not happy with the dentures stability. Fortunately, it is easy to solve with dental implants. Step1.Two to four implants are placed with ball-top posts that attach to existing denture. 2. Denture modified with attachment for the implants. 3. Denture is snapped into place providing stability and confidence.
