Titanium is used because of its biocompatible and relatively low-cost titanium metal. The potential for a lower risk of oral corrosion than other alloys used for implant frameworks. Further, the CAD/CAM fabrication process is less dependent on manual laboratory procedures compared to conventional casting protocols resulting in a more accurate fit of the bar. There are many different types of these implant dentures. We can guide you to choose the right type implant denture whether it be fixed or removable. All designed and constructed in our Buderim laboratory on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Come in and see Darius Northey or Justin Thompson to discuss the different options available to you
Flexible Full Dentures - The Pros and Cons
Are flexible dentures right for my patients?
Before insertion
After Insertion, virtually invisible!
Used in the right circumstances, full flexible dentures can be a highly aesthetic, comfortable, minimally designed denture that is highly acceptable for your patient.
Precise fit aids in stability
There are drawbacks. Due to their small footprint, they rely on the stability of tissue and bone to support them. This makes it difficult to prescribe to a patient who has recently had a tooth extracted. Also, they are unable to be relined or have teeth added to them successfully as the bond of new material is often not great.
So while they can be a very appealing denture, they must be used in the right circumstances.
