Millions of people around the world are missing all their teeth in their upper or lower jaw. Many of them struggle to keep their dentures secure, particularly in the lower jaw.
If you are one of them, you already know about the embarrassment of slipping dentures, not being able to eat all the foods that you love and the ineffectiveness of denture adhesives. Fortunately, there is now a way to make your denture work the way it was intended: stabilisation with dental implants.
We use the Syncone® system to stabilise any removable dental prosthesis using dental implants
Syncone® utilises special posts that attach to the dental implants. These posts extend a small distance above the gum level. The denture is then fitted with an attachment that slips over the post and retains/stabilises an otherwise loose denture.
This system will work using between 4 and 6 implants and is and is designed to stabilise a denture. It is a cost effective way of securing a loose denture, and can be an alternative to All on 4.
With Syncone® we are able to treat
- Loose dentures
- Failing crown and bridgework
- Patients with severe bone loss
- Patients with severe gum disease
With Syncone® we are able to
- Make a new denture
- Remove any failing teeth (if needed)
- Place the implants
- Connect the implants to the denture to stabilise the denture
All on the same day!
