Question:
Denture with no roof: My neice was speaking about a dental procedure a coworker of hers' recently had done. Her denture was replaced with teeth attached with four screws and no roof to the denture.
Is this proceedure familiar to you and if so how new is it, and how widely available is it? .... Visitor from PA
Answer:
What your neice's friend had done sounds like a modified upper denture secured by 4 titanium dental implants.
This treatment is wonderful for patients who have trouble with loose, hard to stay in dentures and partial dentures.
It is treatment that has been widely available for many, many years now. Not only are the implants as strong as your natural teeth, they also help prevent the jawbones from wearing away over the years by the trauma of loose, unstable dentures.
