Dentures That Screw In: Advanced Solutions for Modern Dental Practices

What Are Screw-Retained Dentures?

Screw-retained dentures are fixed dental prosthetics that attach to implants in the jaw. Unlike regular dentures that sit on gums, these stay in place. They don’t move or fall out when eating or talking. Patients don’t take them out at night.

Important facts:

• Made with Grade 5 Ti6Al4V titanium bases
• Work with bone-anchored implants
• Give full-arch support
• Last a very long time
• Look like real teeth

Key Parts and Materials

Why Dental Pros Choose Screw-Retained Systems

1. No cement means no mess – Clean working area around implants
2. Easy to fix or change – Just unscrew when needed
3. Better for gum health – No cement to trap bacteria
4. Perfect fit every time – Digital design ensures <0.3mm gaps

Clinical Uses for Different Patient Needs

• Full mouth with no teeth – All-on-4 implant systems work great
• Hard bite cases – Zirconia hybrid prostheses won’t break
• Complex jaw problems – Zirconia screw-retained implant crowns fix weird angles
• Bone loss issues – Can work with implant-assisted complete dentures
• Front teeth cases – Three-layer coloring system looks natural

Technical Benefits for Your Practice

1. Save chair time – Faster to place than cement types
2. Fewer issues later – No cement means less peri-implant mucositis
3. Easy fixes – Can unscrew to clean or repair
4. Works with what you have – Fits Nobel Biocare, Straumann and other big brands
5. Less stress on implants – Good occlusal load distribution

Case Types We Handle

Our lab makes screw-retained dentures for:

• Immediate load protocols after surgery
• Fixed hybrid dentures for full mouth
• Bar-retained overdentures when needed
• Multi-unit abutment cases
• Angled implant placement fixes
• Cantilever designs (with proper limits)

Materials and Options

Choose from these proven materials:

• Zirconia – Strongest, most natural looking
• PMMA – Great for temps and try-ins
• Titanium frameworks – Super strong and light
• Acrylic with titanium – Cost-effective but durable

All our screw-retained prostheses pass strict testing for:

• Torque resistance (no screw loosening)
• Fracture strength (won’t break under bite force)
• Wear patterns (lasts for years)
• Passive fit (no pressure on implants)

Ordering Information

For best results when ordering implant-retained overdentures, please send:

1. Implant level impressions or digital scans
2. Abutment type and brand
3. Bite registration
4. Shade needed
5. Any special notes about patient needs

Maintenance Tips for Your Patients

Tell patients:

• Brush around implants daily
• Use special floss for under the denture
• Come for check-ups every 6 months
• Watch for any loose feeling
• Don’t use regular denture cleaners

Why Our Screw-Retained Solutions Stand Out

1. ISO-certified materials only

3. 48-hour rush service when needed
4. Compatible with all major implant brands
5. 5-year warranty on materials and workmanship
