Implant Retained Dentures

Implant retained dentures

If you have a few or all of your teeth missing, one solution is to have a denture. Here is how it works:

1. A denture is made from hard-wearing material that mimics the look of teeth and gums to give your mouth a natural appearance.
2. After impressions are taken, a denture is designed in a dental laboratory.
3. Dentures are made to fit snugly on your gums and you will be able to remove them for cleaning.

When you wear a denture for the first time it may take some getting used to when speaking or eating and chewing. It is important that you take extra care when conducting your hygiene regime so that you can avoid bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease. The hygienist will be able to show you how to best take care of your denture and gums and will tell you about specialised brushes you can use to do this.

If your dentures are becoming uncomfortable and tiring, we have a fast, efficient and comfortable solution that will give you a second chance at the feeling of a mouth full of stable, permanent teeth.

A full mouth of new teeth can rest with complete, proven stability on only four implants. Here’s what it involves:

1. State-of-the-art technologies such as CT Scanners are used to plot the location of just four implants in your jaw (two in the upper, two in the lower)
2. These implants form a sturdy base for a full arch of dentures to be secured on top of.
3. The dentures will then be permanent. They look and function just like natural teeth.

At our practice, we understand the impact a smile can have. We would never send you out without a complete smile. That’s why, usually, we will fit you with a temporary bridge (which looks identical to your natural teeth and functions just as well) before we add your permanent denture six months later.
