Semi-Fixed Dentures

General Information About Semi-Fixed Dentures At Dr. Pal’s Dental Hospital, we provide semi-fixed dentures, an advanced tooth replacement option that combines the benefits of both removable and fixed dentures. These dentures are supported by dental implants or precision attachments, offering better stability and comfort compared to traditional removable dentures. Semi-fixed dentures enhance chewing ability, speech, and aesthetics while allowing easy maintenance.

Facts About Semi-Fixed Dentures

• Semi-fixed dentures are more stable than conventional removable dentures.
• They are supported by dental implants or special attachments for better retention.
• The design allows easy removal for cleaning while staying securely in place during use.
• Ideal for patients who want a balance between fixed implants and removable dentures.
• Helps prevent bone loss and maintains facial structure better than traditional dentures.

Before the Procedure:

• A comprehensive oral examination, X-rays, and CBCT scans are performed to assess bone structure and dental health.
• The dentist discusses treatment options, expected outcomes, and the best type of semi-fixed dentures.
• Necessary preparations, such as tooth extractions (if required), may be completed beforehand.
• The patient is provided with pre-operative instructions, including dietary and oral hygiene guidelines.

Procedure Steps:

1. Anesthesia Administration: Local anesthesia is applied to ensure a pain-free experience.
2. Implant Placement (if applicable): Dental implants or special attachments are surgically placed into the jawbone.
3. Healing Phase: If implants are placed, a healing period of a few months is required for integration with the bone.
4. Denture Fabrication: Custom-made dentures are designed to fit securely onto the implants or attachments.
5. Denture Attachment: The semi-fixed dentures are fitted and adjusted for comfort and function.
6. Final Adjustments: The dentist ensures proper bite alignment and aesthetics before completing the procedure.

Post-Treatment Care:

• Maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning the dentures and supporting structures daily.
• Avoid very hard or sticky foods that may damage the attachments.
• Visit the dentist regularly for denture adjustments and implant maintenance.
• Follow all recommended care instructions to prolong the life of the dentures.
• Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to maintain oral health.
