At Chrysalis Victoria Implant Centre we specialize in "All-on-4" permanent teeth in a day dental implant placement replacing cumbersome, inefficient and painful dentures, or to as a solution to overall failing teeth. There are a wide range of dental implant related services that are described in the following paragraphs. At Chrysalis Dental Centre Victoria, our main focus is on implants: Permanent "Teeth in a Day" (entire arches [upper and/or lower] of fixed, non-removable teeth, implant involved dentures and single implants (individual teeth).
-
Permanent, fixed, non removable teeth
Using the Chrysalis Teeth in a Day technique, we are able to provide patients with permanent, non removable teeth. This technique achieves the highest aesthetic results and there is usually no waiting for implants to integrate. Patients usually leave with entire arches of permanent teeth on the same day as their procedure.
-
Implant retained dentures
Implant retained dentures are held in place on the implants by clips. These are often referred to as “balls” or “locators”. The denture is much more stable than a conventional denture but they are removable. It does touch the gum and there can be some rocking motion so sore spots are still possible. When using this technique, we wait 3 to 6 months for the implants to fully integrate with the jaw bone before the denture can be held in place by the clip / ball combination. During this healing period, the patient can still wear a conventional denture.
-
Implant supported dentures
Bar overdentures – a fixed metal bar is supported by dental implants. The bar, in turn, supports a removable denture. In this scenario, the denture doesn’t actually touch the gums so sore spots are eliminated. Since it does not sit on the gums, food can be easily trapped under the denture. This technique requires a 3 to 6 month healing period before the denture can be supported by the bar. Again, during this period, a conventional denture can be worn while the implants integrate
with the jaw bone. Often, the cost of this procedure is very close to Permanent, fixed, non-removable teeth. As a result, it is peformed less frequently.
- Single Implants (replacing individual teeth).
