Can Your Current Denture Be Converted?
If your denture fits well, has good teeth, and is in sound condition, it may be possible to add attachments so it snaps onto implants. If it is worn, cracked, or poorly fitting, a new denture is usually the better choice.
Good Candidates for Conversion
- A denture that is relatively new and fits well
- Teeth that are not badly worn
- A strong, uncracked base
- Enough thickness to hold attachments
How Denture Conversion Works
- Implants are placed in the jaw while you continue wearing your denture, which is adjusted to fit over the healing sites.
- After the implants bond with the bone, attachments are placed on them.
- Matching fittings are secured inside your denture so it clicks onto the implants.
Dr. Felo will explain the timing for your case, including whether your denture can be worn during healing.
Your Daily Routine With Implant Dentures
Morning
Rinse and brush the denture, clean the implant attachments in your mouth with a soft brush, and snap the denture into place.
After Meals
Remove and rinse the denture if possible to clear food particles.
Evening
Take the denture out, brush it gently, and soak it overnight. Brush your gums and the implant attachments before bed.
Caring for Implant Attachments
The attachments on the implants and the fittings inside the denture wear with daily use. When the denture feels less snug, the fittings can usually be replaced to restore the click.
Life After Converting Your Denture
Patients who convert usually notice the difference at the first meal. The denture no longer drifts while chewing, adhesive becomes unnecessary for most people, and speaking feels more secure. Because you still remove the denture daily, cleaning stays simple.
Plan on a few short adjustment visits as your mouth adapts to the new stability, and keep regular checkups so the implants and gums stay healthy.
Implant Denture Cost Near Cave Spring
