Technology makes implant dentures more predictable using Biomet

Over the years we have produced many, many implant cases using dentures on beams to restore the patient's teeth. Implant borne dentures on a beam solve a number of problems that fixed bridges don't:

1. They are removable which makes the case far more cleanable
2. They are far better at supporting the lip in cases of extreme bone loss
3. They can more easily be repaired

However, implant borne dentures aren't without their problems:

1. They often involve clips, attachments and/or milling which makes the cost unpredictable and often high
2. This wide use of components often means they need laser welding or soldering, this can introduce weaknesses in the design making them more prone to fracture
3. The bars are usually made of gold, while this is bio-compatible, the gold interfaces with titanium so there is a chance of some electrolytic corrosion at that interface

Modern advances in CADCAM technology have now brought together the advantages of implant beam dentures and made huge progress in removing the problems.

Using Biomet3i CAM StructSURE (r) Precision Milled Bars it is now possible to have all the benefits of a beam design with a denture AND have none of the conventional negatives. These bars are precision milled from a solid mass of industrial grade titanium which makes them incredibly strong and bio compatible.

Due to the savings made on components and manufacturing costs we are, amazingly, able to offer these bars at up to a 20% saving on our standard prices... so you get a better product at reduced price...a dental 'no brainer' really.

Biomet3i CAM StructSURE (r) Precision Milled Bars are also available in a design that is suitable for direct application of acrylic teeth, so if screw access position is good then this is a great alternative to the classic 'beam design' gold and acrylic denture.

For fixed conventional bridge work that requires composite layering (such as GC Gradia) , this is also possible using this same system using a CADCAM copy milling technique.
