Implant Retained Dentures
Implant dentures work by ‘clicking onto’ strategically placed single tooth dental implants. They look just like your natural teeth and have the full support of dental implants so you will never experience loose or il fitting dentures.
How are implant-retained dentures installed?
Once we’ve decided that implant dentures are the best solution, we create a bespoke treatment plan. A bone graft may be required to restore the jawbone density which can take a couple of months to heal.
Titanium dental implants need to be inserted into the jawbone and given time to fuse together. Once the screw and bone have fused, the implant dentures can be fitted.
Treatment with implant-supported dentures can take anywhere from six months to a year from start to finish. Treatment time is specific to the patient and depends on a number of factors.
What are the benefits of implant-retained dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures, implant dentures are a lot more secure. The anchoring effect of implant-supported dentures provides patients with extra security and peace of mind when it comes to their dentures and slippage.
The dental implants will keep your retained dentures firmly in place until you are ready to take them out. Patients with implant-retained dentures can remove them for sleep or cleaning.
Many patients prefer these anchored implant dentures because they can eat and speak with more ease and confidence. Standard dentures, that require adhesive, have the risk of slipping or falling out of the mouth.
