Suction Denture

In the era of implant, to bring back complete denture sounds obsolete. However, there are still many reasons we need dentures; first, a patient can be medically compromised, uncontrolled diabetes, cardiac disease, radiation therapy osteoporosis patients who took Bisphosphate for a long time are at risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, or simply too afraid to undergo surgery. Second, a patient doesn’t have enough bone. Sure, you can do a bone graft, right? But if you lost your teeth a long time ago. Most patients lack bone horizontally vertically. The bone graft is the best prognosis when it is surrounded by your own bone. (i.e. extraction socket) If you don’t any walls around your bones, bone augmentation is extremely difficult if not impossible. Third, you may not simply afford implants financially.
