Removable Dentures – Supported by Implants

It is a traumatic event when a person has all of their teeth removed. It is difficult mentally and physically.  Conventional dentures, while an answer to the problem, are a poor answer. Conventional upper and lower dentures leave the user with approximately 15% of their biting/chewing efficiency intact. Using Dental Implants to support and retain a denture dramatically aids in the performance of the dentures.

There are 3 main components to the system

The implant: a titanium screw fused within the bone

The Connection: the attachment between the implant and the denture. There are many options which allow for “fixed” (the denture cannot be removed by the patient) or removable.

The Denture: with incorporating, the denture can be designed without a palate or flanges. A multitude of material options to increase strength and esthetics can be used.

Every Style of denture is a series of complex steps. Using modern imaging and technology is essential to a predictable outcome.

Dr. Furdek’s approach does not skip steps and requires in depth communication between the patient, oral maxillofacial surgeon, lab and himself.
