About dental implants

Dental implants are small titanium devices, which are designed to replace the root of a missing tooth. Because of their versatility, they can replace either a single or multiple missing teeth, and they offer a host of advantages for patients who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. One of the best things about dental implants is their versatility. Once the implant has been placed in a socket in the jaw bone, it can then be attached to a crown, a dental bridge or a denture.

The benefits of stabilised dentures

Usually, dentures are secured by the natural suction power provided by the gums. With stabilised dentures, the dentures are held in place by dental implants. With implants, the denture is supported in the same way as a natural, healthy tooth would be anchored by a strong root. With implants there to stabilise the denture, there’s no risk of the dentures slipping or becoming loose, and you can enjoy eating in public without any anxiety at all. There’s no risk of the denture causing irritation as a result of it not fitting properly and you can also enjoy enhanced bite power.
