Locator Implant Retained Dentures
Locator Implant Retained Dentures are a modern alternative to conventional dentures and can provide a number of significant advantages for those who choose to wear them. This type of denture is held in place by titanium screw-like posts which are inserted into the jawbone offering greatly improved stability, aesthetics, and comfort as well as preventing facial collapse due to the absorption of the jawbone following tooth loss. A Locator Implant Retained Denture snaps onto implants, is removable and can be used for fully or partially edentulous patient and because Locator Implant Retained Dentures are securely retained, sore spots rarely occur and pressure points are prevented as bite forces are transmitted directly to the implants.
Locator Bar Overdenture
Locator Bar Overdentures combines the high functionality and stability of an implant with the removability of a traditional full denture. This is typically a full-arch solution that is attached to a bar implanted in the edentulous ridge. This solution distributes occlusal impact across the entire ridge. The removability of the denture allows for easy accessibility for cleaning and repairs, while the implant bar provides a higher degree of retention and function than a traditional prosthesis.
Implant Retained Bar
Implant Retained Bars are fixed and removable prosthesis solutions available. Titanium bars are renowned for their exceptional strength and durability which are crucial attributes for dental implants. They provide excellent support and stability which is key in preventing shifting or slipping, ensuring comfort and functionality for your patient and a robust and stable foundation for dental prostheses such as bridges or overdentures. Custom-milled titanium bars are designed to precisely match your patient’s oral topography and this exact fit is crucial not only for comfort but also for ensuring the efficient transfer of bite forces to the jawbone, mimicking natural teeth.
Wrap Around Bar
A Wrap Around Bar Is a screw-retained medical-grade titanium framework for fixed prosthesis with denture teeth wrapped with high impact acrylic resin finish, ideal for cases with four or more implants placed. These bridges are permanently fixed in the mouth direct to implant or multi unit abutments. The bar can be designed to follow an average pre-determined height that follows the tissue line and is some cases angle bore correction can be offered up to 25 degrees allowing correction towards lingual side for better aesthetic finish.
Thimble Bar
A Thimble Bar is made of titanium, is precisely fabricated to ensure a perfect fit and incorporates integrated abutments for cementing crowns or bridges. Once the Thimble Bar is in place, the custom-made crowns, meticulously crafted to match natural teeth, are securely attached, resulting in a functional and aesthetically pleasing restoration including gum finish in resin or composite gum staining to provide a natural appearance.
