Stabilising Dentures
Conventional dentures are notoriously unstable, ill-fitting dentures often move around when eating and speaking. This can be uncomfortable and can be detrimental to self-esteem and confidence leaving denture wearers limiting their social encounters and restricting their dietary habits.
By placing between four and six dental implants we can provide much needed support and stabilisation by attaching special posts which are inserted into the base of a denture or “removable bridge” giving you denture stability and confidence in eating, speaking and socialising. Although this denture is removable, the connection between the posts and the bridge is so secure that in effect it feels fixed.
The advantage of this system is that it allows us to replace, in many cases, failing teeth with implant supported teeth in one day rather than the usual delay of between three and six months. It is particularly useful in the lower jaw where dentures or failing teeth can be replaced in the same day, and allows you to leave with fully functioning teeth.
This is a less costly option than fixed bridgework, but nonetheless effective. It is nearly always possible to ‘upgrade’ implant retained over dentures to fixed bridgework.
