Many people are familiar with dentures; a removable plate with one or more false teeth attached to it but worry that this may be uncomfortable or ill fitting.
Having a denture doesn’t mean you have to experience discomfort and miss out on your favourite foods, as there are ways to ensure a great fit and ongoing comfort, on of which is securing the denture with implants.
about their appearance and ability to eat. However, there is a range of treatment options available that patients can discuss with their dentist when it comes to replacing their missing tooth or teeth.
Not only do we offer the chance to get dentures made out of the highest quality materials, which will improve the feel and look, but we can also help your dentures feel comfortable and secure by using implants to support the fit.
Dental implants are carefully placed titanium posts that are inserted into the jaw to act as an artificial root. The denture can then attach to the implant, or be removed for cleaning, creating a strong, comfortable connection that will help you eat and smile with confidence.
Our experienced dentists will take the time to fully assess your teeth and mouth, to understand whether implant supported dentures are the right solution for you. They will fully explain the process and answer any questions you may have, including considering whether you may need to undergo a bone graft to create a suitable base for the implant.
If your dentist feels you are suitable for this treatment, and you decide to go ahead, we will make every effort to ensure your personalised treatment plan is carried out smoothly and with minimal discomfort to you, with anaesthetic or even gentle sedation available for nervous patients.
When the implant has healed, you will be able to enjoy your securely fitted denture and have the confidence to smile, talk and enjoy your favourite foods once more.
Denture-supported implants are a modern solution for patients who require dentures but want enhanced stability and comfort. These implants provide a secure foundation for removable dentures, making them more reliable than traditional dentures that may slip or move. The implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, and the dentures are then attached to the implants, improving both function and appearance.
The procedure for denture-supported implants typically involves several stages:
Denture-supported implants are a great solution for individuals who have lost multiple teeth or have full dentures but want additional stability. Ideal candidates for this treatment are those who have sufficient bone structure in the jaw to support the implants. If your bone volume is insufficient, bone grafting may be recommended before the implant procedure.
Denture-supported implants involve placing titanium posts (implants) into the jawbone, which act as artificial roots. A removable denture is then securely attached to the implants, offering improved stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures.
Denture-supported implants reduce the discomfort and instability commonly associated with traditional dentures by providing a strong, secure fit. This enables better chewing function and eliminates the worry of dentures slipping.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, minimizing discomfort. Post-procedure, mild swelling or soreness may occur, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days and can be managed with pain relievers.
The process typically takes several months, as it involves implant placement, healing time for the implants to integrate with the bone, and the fitting of the denture. Your dentist will monitor the healing process to ensure optimal results.
Candidates for denture-supported implants are those who have missing teeth and sufficient bone density to support the implants. If needed, bone grafting can be performed to improve bone volume for implant placement.
