What is a SEMCD Denture?
SEMCD is an acronym for Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Denture, or in very simple terms it is a Suction Lower Denture.
How is this different to regular dentures?
In the past, a persons’ lower denture was made by a clinician pulling on the cheeks and lips to determine the base shape of the denture. With SEMCD, our clinicians guide the patient through a series of mouth movements and sounds to determine the base shape of the denture. This ensures that the denture is stable during function(i.e. smiling, talking, chewing, blowing out birthday candles and kissing loved ones). Thus, no two dentures are alike, as no two mouths are alike. It is a completely custom fitted appliance, that gives a fit with unsurpassed retention and stability.Are Suction Dentures Better?
The simple answer is YES! The SEMCD process developed by Professor Jiro Abe, combined with the superior materials and construction processes of Ivoclar Vivadents BPS dentures, ensures maximum accuracy of fit and leaves minimal margin for error.Can anyone have suction dentures?
If you, or someone you know has struggled with either a loose, or painful upper or lower denture, that is constantly getting food trapped underneath, we offer consultations to help determine if a SEMCD or Suction Denture can be a solution.
