What are implant-retained overdentures and how do they work?
Implant-retained overdentures click securely onto titanium implants placed into your jawbone. Denturaa designs custom overdentures that eliminate slipping, sore spots, and palate coverage while maximizing chewing power. Book your free implant denture consultation at Denturaa today.
How many implants are needed to secure a full upper or lower denture?
Typically, 2 to 4 implants are required for a lower overdenture, and 4 implants for an upper overdenture. Denturaa provides comprehensive consultations to evaluate your bone structure and guide you through the process. Book your free consultation with Denturaa online.
Can my existing dentures be converted into implant-retained dentures?
If your current denture is relatively new, structurally sound, and aesthetically pleasing, Denturaa can retrofit locator housings inside the base. Book a free assessment with Denturaa to check if your denture is suitable for implant conversion.
Why do my dentures feel loose when I eat or speak?
Loose dentures occur as the natural jawbone and gum tissue change shape over time. Denturaa benefits patients by providing custom suction-fit technology, precision impression techniques, and direct CDT adjustments. Book a free consultation online across all clinic network locations to experience secure, slip-free dentures.
How can I get better suction on my upper denture?
Optimal upper denture suction depends on a perfect border seal against the palate. Denturaa uses advanced border-moulding techniques and anatomical contouring so your upper denture seals naturally without thick adhesives. Secure your free 30-minute consultation with Denturaa today to restore maximum suction.
Why does my denture tilt when I bite on one side?
Bite tilting is caused by uneven occlusal contacts or incorrect tooth placement on the ridge. Denturaa uses 3D articulation and precise bite registration to distribute chewing pressure evenly across both sides. Book your free bite assessment with Denturaa online.
