Implant-Supported Dentures in Seoul(Uijeongbu) – Seoul Lab Dental Clinic in Seoul, Korea
Seoul Lab Dental Clinic offers implant-supported dentures as a stable, comfortable, and durable option for patients seeking a fixed or semi-fixed solution to full or partial tooth loss. Serving both local and international patients in northern Seoul, we combine careful planning, high-quality materials, and attentive care to deliver reliable results and renewed confidence.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are prosthetic full or partial dentures anchored by dental implants rather than relying solely on tissue support (gums). The implants act as anchors, providing retention, stability, and improved chewing function compared to traditional removable dentures. Depending on the design, the denture may snap onto attachments, or be fixed in place.
When Are Implant-Supported Dentures Recommended?
You may be a candidate when:
- You have lost many or all teeth in a jaw and want better retention than conventional dentures
- You currently use removable dentures but struggle with fit, stability, or discomfort
- You seek to avoid placing an implant for every missing tooth
- Bone volume is sufficient for implant placement (or can be augmented)
- You want a balance between cost, function, and stability
Types & Designs Offered
- Overdentures (Removable Type): The denture snaps on/off implant attachments (e.g., locator, ball, bar).
- Fixed Hybrid Dentures: The denture is permanently screwed onto implants and is not removable by patient.
- All-on-X Variants: Full-arch prostheses using 4, 6, or more implants to support fixed dentures.
- Bar-Supported Dentures: A metal bar connects multiple implants; the denture clips onto the bar.
We recommend the design most suited to your bone, anatomy, hygiene ability, and budget.
Our Implant-Supported Denture Workflow
- Consultation & Imaging
CBCT scans and digital diagnostics to evaluate bone, anatomy, and implant planning. - Prosthetic Planning
Design the denture, choose attachment type, and plan implant positions using digital guides. - Implant Placement
Under local anesthesia (or sedation if requested), implants are placed at planned positions. - Healing & Osseointegration
Give time (typically several months) for implants to fuse securely with bone. - Attachment & Denture Delivery
- For overdentures: attach abutments/attachments and fit the removable denture.
- For fixed hybrids: screw the prosthesis onto implants, adjust as needed.
- Adjustment & Maintenance
Fine-tune fit, occlusion, and provide guidance on care and cleaning. - Follow-Up & Monitoring
Regular check-ups to maintain implant health, attachment function, and prosthesis integrity.
