Modern Denture Treatment in the Heart of Liverpool

Thursday, March 10th, 2016

At Liverpool Dental Spa we offer high quality modern dentures to replace missing teeth and enable you to smile with confidence.

About dentures

Dentures are sets of false teeth made from acrylic resin. They are deigned to look like natural teeth and restore function to the mouth when a patient has lost their natural teeth. It is possible to use partial dentures or full dentures to replace missing teeth. Partial dentures are used to replace a small number of teeth, while a full denture is intended to replace a full arch of missing teeth.

Our dentures are made from the finest quality materials and we use cutting-edge design to bring you the best dentures.

How could dentures benefit me?

If you have missing teeth, you could benefit from denture treatment. Dentures help you to enjoy the functions of normal teeth, so you can eat and speak without any issues and also enjoy smiling without worrying about exposing gaps in your teeth.

If you have a large number of missing teeth, this can really impact your oral health as well as your general health and your confidence. Without teeth, it is difficult to eat, your smile looks less attractive and unhealthy and your speech may be impaired. Dentures can help to eliminate these issues and enable you to enjoy a better quality of life.

What are the alternatives?

Alternative treatments to dentures include dental implants and dental bridges. However, these treatments are not suitable for all patients. If you are interested in tooth replacement treatment, call the practice to arrange a consultation and one of our friendly dentists will discuss the options with you and recommend the best treatment based on your individual needs and your treatment expectations.

Custom-Made, Comfortable Dentures That Look Like Real Teeth!

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016

Dentures are a very popular treatment for patients who have missing teeth. We offer partial dentures, to replace a few missing teeth, or full denture to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Our modern dentures are functional and very lifelike, to give you a beautiful smile and a healthy, strong set of teeth.

About dentures

Dentures have been around for many years. They act as replacements for missing teeth and can be used to replace some or all of the teeth. Dentures have come a long way since the very early models and the dentures we offer are light, lifelike and very impressive in terms of function, fit and durability. We custom-make all our dentures to ensure a perfect fit, enhance comfort and reduce the risk of irritation.

By replacing the natural teeth, dentures enable you to enjoy a healthy looking smile as well as ensuring that you can speak clearly and chew food properly. Dentures also provide support for your cheeks and lips, improving the overall facial aesthetic.

Care and maintenance

Once you have your dentures, there are some simple steps to follow to keep them clean, reduce your risk of oral health problems and prevent damage. When you are not wearing your denture, ensure that it is kept in a safe, dry place and take time to clean your dentures. You can do this by using a cleaning solution.

We recommend frequent check-ups so that we can keep an eye on the fit of your denture and check for any signs of wear or damage. The shape of your gums is constantly changing and this means that dentures do have to be replaced from time to time. If you feel that your denture is starting to get loose or it is causing you discomfort, we will be able to help by making repairs or replacing the denture.

Modern Day Dentures For Patients In The Heart Of Liverpool

Thursday, November 21st, 2013

The word ‘dentures’ instantly makes many people feel uncomfortable, due to the images in movies, which make people conjure up pictures of bulky, obviously false looking teeth, sitting in a glass on a bedside table. The reality is that modern dentures have come a long way and are really impressive appliances; however, if you still have reservations, let us talk to you about implant-retained dentures.

What are implant-retained dentures?

Implant-retained dentures are dentures that are held in place by dental implants. Dental implants are small titanium rods, which are placed inside pre-drilled holes in the jaw bone to replace the root of a missing tooth. The implants are made from titanium, which allows them to integrate into the bone; once this process has taken place, the implant can be connected to a restoration.

Benefits of implant-retained dentures

Many people have reservations about wearing dentures; they worry that their denture will slip and come loose, especially when they are eating and that their denture will look false and unnatural. Implant-retained dentures provide a solution, which gives patients complete peace of mind; as the denture is anchored by dental implants, there is no possibility of it coming loose or moving out of position and modern dentures are very lifelike and natural looking.

As the denture is supported by dentures, the bite power is increased and patients can enjoy a wide range of foods without worrying that their denture will slip while they are chewing or biting down. Dental implants also improve the fit of the denture and they do not irritate the gums or affect the neighbouring teeth.

The procedure

The procedure involves two key stages; during the first session, the implants are placed by making a small incision in the gum and drilling a socket in the jaw bone. The implant is then placed inside the socket and left to integrate in a process called osseointegration. Once the implants have settled, the denture can be attached and you can show off your new smile and start enjoying the benefits of your brand new denture. For more information contact us at Liverpool Dental Spa in central Liverpool.

An Innovative Way To Wear Dentures

Tuesday, October 15th, 2013

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.

If you are interested in stabilizing your denture we would be happy to provide you with advice and information, as well as a consultation if you feel the treatment is for you here at Liverpool dental spa.

Get Better Fitting Dentures In Liverpool

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013

Many people have a very negative view when it comes to dentures. They picture badly fitting bulky false teeth which look and feel uncomfortable. But in today’s modern dentistry we can now offer our patients implant retained dentures which offer stability, a permanent solution to missing teeth and dentures which fit perfectly and do not have to be glued into the mouth.

What are implant retained dentures?

Implant retained dentures are the most effective denture method. Dental implants are inserted into the roots of missing teeth where they will heal with the jawbone-this provides an incredibly stable foundation for the dentures. After the implants are placed the dentures can then be securely fixed on to the top f the titanium implants providing patients with a very natural, strong result.

What happens during treatment?

Whilst traditional dentures would rely on the suction from the gums, implant retained dentures are fully supported by the dental implants and work with both full and partial dentures.

The procedure;

  • We cut into the gum and drill into the jawbone area
  • We then place the implants into the holes and stitch the gums so that they can then heal
  • After a period of time when the gums have fully healed and the implants have fused with the jawbone we will add the dentures
  • After this patients are free to continue their normal lives eating and drinking what ever they like

We use local anaesthetic so that treatment is comfortable and patients do not feel pain. Dental phobic patients can discuss other sedation options with us in order to make patients as comfortable as possible. If you are interested in implant retained dentures, contact the team at Liverpool Dental Spa in Liverpool for more information and to arrange your consultation.

Denture Treatment For Missing Teeth For Patients In Liverpool

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

Retro is certainly in at present, and you can’t get more retro in dentistry than dentures: Their usage can be traced all the way back to 700BC. Those early dentures were mostly made from animal teeth, with models in later centuries also being constructed from wood. Thankfully, the dentures we offer at Liverpool Dental Spa aren’t quite that retro… Just as vintage designs can be reproduced with all the benefits of modern technology – one need think merely of the laser turntable – so an ancient dental concept can be updated to suit one’s modern needs.

What are dentures exactly?

Dentures are essentially a way of replacing missing teeth. The can be constructed so as to stand in for a full set of teeth (a full denture), or just to fill in for a few missing ones (a partial denture). Modern dentures are made from an acrylic resin which is then affixed to metal. Partial dentures are fantastic at preventing your healthy teeth from moving about, and both full and partial dentures are great at fighting the infamous issues of speech and eating which are associated with missing teeth.

Having your dentures fitted

The process of having dentures fitted will take, on average, a month and you will most likely need to have 5 appointments with your dentist during this procedure. An impression of your mouth will be produced and this will then be used as a basis for your dentures. You will also be given a ‘trial denture’, just to ensure that you are happy with the look and feel of dentures generally. If any other work (such as tooth extraction) is required before having your dentures fitted, you will typically wait two months post-surgery before your dentures will be fitted; this allows your gums to heal. Following the dentures being fitted, you might find them a little odd to use. Don’t fret! This perfectly is normal. It is best to only eat soft foods and drink for a while after you denture has been fitted.

Are dentures okay to wear at night?

It is best, when you are going to sleep, to take them out as it lets your gums rest.
