Challenges of Missing All Lower Teeth

While some patients adapt well to upper dentures, lower dentures can be more challenging due to reduced stability and comfort. Fortunately, dental implants provide multiple secure options, enhancing chewing efficiency and quality of life.

Implant-Supported Denture Options for Lower Teeth

  1. Locator Attachment Denture (Implant-Retained Overdenture)
    • Two dental implants are placed in the lower jaw to secure a removable denture.
    • Improved stability while chewing, compared to traditional dentures.
    • Some movement may still occur, and periodic adjustments are needed.
  2. Bar Attachment Denture (Overdenture with Support Bar)
    • Uses four to six dental implants, depending on jaw size and shape.
    • A customized support bar connects the implants, allowing the denture to snap securely into place.
    • Offers greater stability than locator attachment dentures and is still removable for cleaning.
  3. Screw-Retained Fixed Denture (Hybrid Prosthesis)
    • Five or more dental implants are placed for a permanently attached prosthetic.
    • No movement, does not rest on gum tissue, and offers the closest feel to natural teeth.
    • Requires maintenance visits for cleaning but is not removable by the patient.
  4. Individual Dental Implants for Each Tooth
    • Each missing tooth is replaced with an individual dental implant.
    • Best mimics natural tooth structure but requires eight or more dental implants.

Typically the most expensive option but provides long-term function and aesthetics.

Treatment Options for Missing All Upper Teeth

The upper jaw has softer bone than the lower jaw, often requiring more dental implants for support. The following full-arch implant options help eliminate the discomfort associated with traditional upper dentures:

Implant-Supported Upper Denture

  • Similar to lower dentures, but usually requires six or more dental implants.
  • Can be designed without covering the roof of the mouth, allowing for better taste and temperature sensation.
  • Still removable, making cleaning and maintenance easier.

Fixed Upper Implant Bridge (All-on-4 or All-on-6)

  • A non-removable solution that offers strong, natural-looking teeth.
  • Uses four to six dental implants to anchor a full-arch bridge.
  • No movement, no adhesive needed, and provides improved chewing efficiency.

Individual Upper Dental Implants

  • If you prefer individually placed teeth, eight to ten dental implants are recommended.
  • Most closely mimics natural teeth and does not require removal.

Higher initial cost but offers exceptional long-term stability.
