Problems and issues with Loose Dentures
Patients wearing removable dentures often describe discomfort and embarrassment due to daily issues. Loose dentures can lead to gum irritations, mouth infections, and difficulty eating and speaking naturally. Prolonged use of ill-fitted dentures can even contribute to jawbone shrinkage, emphasizing the importance of correct tooth replacement.
Improving Denture Stability with Implants
Use implants to secure and reinforce dentures and bridgework.
Removable dentures, anchored by dental implants, enhance stability and simplify oral functions for patients.
Additionally, implant-supported dentures correct the common issue of dentures gradually losing their firmness.
Traditional Dentures:
- Reduce jawbone strength
- Removable design
- Requires removal for cleaning and sleep
- Require a lengthy adaptation period
- Can hinder eating
Innovative Implant retained dentures Offer:
- Stimulated bone growth and overall oral well-being
- Swift, pain-free surgical procedure
- Natural tooth-like functionality
- A few months for the titanium screw to seamlessly fuse with the bone
- Assist with effortless speech and chewing.
Implant-Stabilized Dentures Procedure
During the procedure, titanium screws (implants) with integrated ball-tops are inserted into the jaw, fusing securely with the bone. Typically taking about an hour, the procedure can be done under local anaesthesia. Your existing denture is modified to fit comfortably over the implants during the healing phase. Minor discomfort may be experienced after the procedure, reduced with prescribed medication and a modified diet. After healing, the denture securely snaps onto the ball-tops and can be easily removed for cleaning.
Permanent, Fixed Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer a permanent and fixed solution, utilising dental implants for stability. These fixed dentures eliminate the issues associated with traditional removable options, such as weakening the jawbone and the prolonged adjustment period. Advantages of implant-supported dentures include:
- Shorter surgery and healing times
- Less invasive
- Minimal post-op discomfort
- Long-lasting and robust
- Fuss-free maintenance
- Cost-effectiveness with fewer required dental implants
- Optimum comfort compared to removable dentures
While implant-supported dentures may involve higher initial costs, the long-term aesthetic and oral benefits outweigh the cost. For personalised advice on this treatment, consult with our qualified team to discuss the procedure in detail.

- Age Requirement for Dental Implants: Is There a Minimum Age for Dental Implant Treatment? While there is no specific age limit, our dentists recommend individuals to be over 18 for the dental implant procedure.
- Safety of Dental Implant Treatment: We employ Computer Guided implant placement techniques. We also employ comprehensive planning systems to ensure the success and safety of the implant treatment.
- Value of Dental Implants: Assessing the Benefits of Dental Implants: A dental implant offers numerous oral health advantages, including smile enhancement, stabilisation of adjacent teeth, and protection against gum disease.
- Pain in the Implant Process: Managing Discomfort in the Implant Process: Some slight discomfort may following the placement of a new implant, which minimized through modern anaesthetics. Post-procedure, swelling and slight aching may occur for 1-2 days. Many patients undergo multiple implants in a single day with minimal pain or distress. Existing patient have described this discomfort as no worse than that experienced after a tooth removal.
Implant Guide
Implants undergo colour matching and meticulous shaping to seamlessly harmonize with your natural teeth. Implant teeth are virtually indistinguishable from real teeth.
Long-Lasting Dental Implants
Once the implant integrates with your jawbone and surrounding tissues, the artificial titanium structure functions just like a natural root.
When we insert a titanium implant into the jawbone, it becomes an integral part of your oral structure.
This provides numerous health advantages, such as slowing or stopping bone loss, reinforcing the jawbone's structure, and diminishing the likelihood of gum disease due to better cleaning when compared to dentures.[Learn More.]
Longevity of Dental Implants
When appropriately cared for, dental implants boast a lifespan ranging from ten to twenty-five years or even longer.
Dental implants are beneficial for:
- Tooth loss due to trauma, accidents, or injuries
- Missing teeth resulting from gum disease or insufficient bone
- Substituting old, worn, or fractured dentures
- Integrated treatments like Implant-Retained Dentures
- Offering both removable and fixed options
