Dentures can help restore full missing arches of teeth, but often their functionality is lacking and patients suffer problems with loose dentures while eating and talking. Loose dentures also cause sores within the mouth, which cause further difficulties and discomfort whilst eating.

Dental implants for dentures

However, a new solution has been found, which beats pastes and adhesives down flat. Dental implants are one of the most innovative and effective dental treatments, providing a secure and stable base upon which dentures can sit.

What are dental implants and what can they do for my dentures?

Dental implants are small titanium posts, which are inserted into the jawbone. These posts are then left to fuse and become part of the bone, creating what is essentially a replacement tooth root. 4 to 6 dental implants are used when stabilizing dentures. These are fitted into the jawbone and left to heal, after which a denture can be attached. Dental implants hold the denture in place, preventing all movement and looseness to help you eat, smile and talk with confidence and ease.

How can dental implants improve the health of my mouth?

Loose dentures not only rub against the gums they also rub against the jawbone. This wears away the bones, which is why loose dentures have to be replaced so often, as the wearing of the dentures continually changes the mouth. Dental implants prevent this jawbone erosion and actually strengthen the jawbone, enabling you to use your jaws with full confidence and in turn saving you money, as if well maintain dental implants can last a lifetime.
