How Do They Work?

Just as their name states, the dentures suction onto the bottom gums to be secured into place. Japan’s Dr. Jiro Abe created a unique impression technique that captures the natural shapes of the oral cavity. As a result, there is a firm seal around the entire periphery of the denture and suction to keep dentures in place.

The unique impression needs patients to make precise sounds and movements while the impression material is in their mouth. The movements are captured by the imprint material and incorporated into the new lower denture.

What is the Lower Suction Dentures Process?

First, you will undergo an initial evaluation in which we will check your current dentures, ask about your denture-wearing experience, and determine whether you will benefit from switching to BPS suction dentures. In the next phase, you will be requested to make certain sounds and motions using your face and mouth muscles throughout the imprinting procedure. The imprint material then records these movements. The bottom denture is designed to suction down the arch and soft tissues, forming a seal and reducing the denture base over expansions. Once the impressions have been made, we will send off the impressions to the lab for fabrication, and we will later call you for a try-in. The dentures will be checked for balance, and further adjustments may need to be made to ensure they fit correctly.

Are BPS Lower Suction Dentures Right for You?

The dentist will examine your oral tissues and go over your complete oral health history to determine whether suction dentures are right for you. We look out for in deciding your candidacy if your bone and tissues are healthy and strong enough to support the denture. 

If your oral structure is not ideal for suction dentures, you may still benefit from them due to their comfort.

Plus, you don’t need surgery to get a completely new smile. Suction dentures are a long-term, permanent solution that many patients find manageable.
