ReplaceDent implant denture system: A cutting-edge solution for full-arch tooth replacement

For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, finding a reliable and long-lasting solution can be challenging. While traditional dentures can restore appearance and function, they often come with discomfort, movement issues, and difficulty chewing.

At Renew Dental Lounge, we use the Replacedent implant denture system which offers a state-of-the-art alternative—providing a fixed, stable, and natural-feeling solution for full-arch tooth replacement.

What Is the Replacedent Implant Denture System?

Replacedent is an advanced dental implant system designed for full-arch rehabilitation. It utilizes four to six implants placed strategically in the jaw to support a fixed, screw-retained prosthesis. This system is specifically engineered for optimal stability and functionality, restoring both aesthetics and full chewing capability.

The Technical Process: Understanding the Complexity

Patients often wonder why full-arch implant systems like Replacedent come at a higher cost compared to traditional dentures or single implants. To appreciate the investment, it’s essential to understand the complexity of the procedure:

1. Comprehensive Consultation and Digital Planning

• A detailed assessment using CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scans and digital impressions to evaluate bone volume, gum health, and bite alignment.
• Advanced 3D planning software to simulate implant positioning and prosthesis design before surgery.

2. Precision Implant Placement with Guided Surgery

• The implants are placed using a guided surgery technique, ensuring optimal positioning for maximum support and long-term success.
• Typically, four to six implants are used per arch, with the back implants angled to maximize bone contact and avoid the need for grafting in many cases.

3. Immediate Loading: Temporary Fixed Prosthesis

• One of the key advantages of the Replacedent system is that, in most cases, patients leave with a full set of functional teeth on the same day.
• A lightweight, custom-designed temporary bridge is attached, allowing for healing while maintaining aesthetics and function.

4. Osseointegration and Healing

• Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implants integrate with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration), providing a strong and stable foundation.
• Regular check-ups ensure proper healing and adjustment of the temporary prosthesis.

5. Final Prosthesis: Precision-Made for Long-Term Use

• Once healing is complete, the final full-arch prosthesis is designed and fabricated using high-quality materials such as zirconia or high-strength acrylic.
• This final bridge is screw-retained and provides the closest experience to natural teeth in terms of function, appearance, and durability.

Why Is the Cost Higher Than Traditional Dentures?

Several factors contribute to the cost of the Replacedent implant denture system:

• Advanced Materials & Technology – High-quality biocompatible implants and digital planning tools ensure long-term success.
• Surgical Expertise & Customization – The procedure requires highly skilled implantologists and prosthodontists to design and execute treatment tailored to each patient.
• Immediate Functionality – Unlike traditional dentures, which require months of adaptation, the Replacedent system provides an immediate, fixed solution.
• Long-Term Value – With proper care, implant-supported dentures last significantly longer than traditional dentures, reducing replacement costs over time.

Accessing Superannuation for Dental Implants

We understand that the financial aspect of full-arch implants can be a concern. Patients may be eligible to access their superannuation funds under the Compassionate Release of Superannuation program to cover essential dental procedures like the Replacedent system.

At Renew Dental Lounge, we work closely with SuperCare, a specialist service that simplifies the application process, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for our patients. Our team can guide you through the steps, helping you access your funds to restore your smile and quality of life without unnecessary financial strain.

Is Replacedent Right for You?

This system is ideal for patients who:

• Have lost most or all of their teeth and want a permanent solution.
• Struggle with traditional dentures due to poor fit, discomfort, or limited function.
• Have sufficient bone to support implants (or are willing to undergo bone grafting if needed).
• Are in good general health and do not have medical conditions that would interfere with healing.
• Are non-smokers or willing to quit, as smoking can negatively impact implant success rates.

Conclusion: A Long-Term Investment in Your Smile

The Replacedent implant denture system is a cutting-edge solution that restores not just your smile but also your ability to eat, speak, and live confidently. While the cost may seem significant, it reflects the advanced technology, precision, and long-term benefits of the treatment.
