– Many people are aware of the fact that a complete lower denture is not going to be like your natural teeth or a previous partial denture which was supported by the retentive clasps. It is easily destabilized, may come out during certain functions of the tongue, and frequently requires denture adhesives. There is a lower denture suction technique currently available to the public, however the patient’s oral structures must go through a qualification process to determine if there is a significant anatomical risk factor, which may disqualify the patient for such lower denture. Furthermore, patient will face a significant cost increase for a lower suction denture in comparison to its standard alternative. By simply choosing to go for an implant supported lower denture with either 4 or at least 2 implants, patient can drastically improve his or her quality of life. Such denture is secured in the mouth with special attachments inserted inside the denture base, and is fully removable by the patient for cleaning purposes. Patient can rest assured that the denture will not slip out of the mouth during meal or a conversation. This is where a peace of mind comes into play. It is important to know that the patient will have to undergo surgery, face a significant cost increase, will have to split his / her visits between the surgeon’s and a denturist’s clinic, and will have several more visits in total in comparison to being fitted with a standard complete denture.
