BPS Lower Suction Dentures

BPS Lower Suction Dentures
Pacific Denture Centre is now certified in the Lower Denture Suction Technique. This technique was created by Dr. Jiro Abe of Japan and is used in conjunction with the BPS Denture System.
Dr. Abe has further enhanced this system by developing a new impression technique to achieve suction on lower dentures. With this new system, up to 80% of assessed denture patients are candidates and are thrilled with the results.
The BPS System was researched and developed by Ivoclar Vivadent, a leading dental company out of Schaan, Liechtenstein and it is still the leading method of predictable denture fabrication.
Michelle Nelson, owner and senior denturist at Pacific Denture Centre, has been providing the BPS system to her patients for over 18 years with great success. She has also been a Certified BPS Instructor for 15 of those years and has trained and certified hundreds of other dental practitioners in these methods.
Even those who are not good candidates for attaining lower denture suction will still greatly benefit from the BPS Suction Denture System. The advanced procedures and construction of these dentures work in harmony with your muscle and jaw movements to increase your overall function and stability.
We are excited to be adding Dr. Abe’s techniques to our BPS protocol in hopes to provide you with the best denture satisfaction possible without the use of adhesives or dental implants. For more information or to schedule a complimentary consultation, please contact one of our 3 area offices.
