Implant Retained Dentures
What are the benefits of this treatment?
Implant retained dentures are dentures that are held in place by strategically placed Implants.
Besides feeling self-conscious about your smile, a variety of other concerns can arise when you no longer have all your natural teeth.
You may have trouble chewing certain food or speaking clearly. You may get more frequent headaches or have jaw discomfort due to the shifting of your remaining teeth.
Implant retained dentures can help alleviate all of these issues.
Why are they preferred over the other methods below?
Using dental implants to anchor the dentures keeps the dentures securely in place and relieves you from worry about slippage.
These dentures will stay in position until you want to take them out.
Additionally, attaching the dentures keeps bone and gums healthy by keeping the overall structure of your mouth engaged.
Plus, the fit of implant retained dentures are more comfortable and give you a more natural look.
How are they fitted?
First, dental implants are inserted into the jaw. These implants are tiny screws made of titanium alloy and are safe and compatible with the human body.
They are designed to mimic the natural shape of a tooth root.
Connecting elements called abutments are affixed to the screws, which then attach to the dentures.
How long does it take?
The length of time for fitting implant retained dentures varies depending on several factors.
From your initial consultation through the end of the healing period there are many steps to consider.
Each case is different, and each patient heals differently.

Why Dental Implants?
How long do they last?
What is it?
Each single tooth dental implant replaces a single missing tooth in your mouth.
This solution helps restore proper functionality to your mouth as well as improving the cosmetic appearance of your smile and your overall features.
Are they right for me?
Dental implants are one of the leading remedies for missing teeth.
To determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants, you will need to partake in a thorough evaluation of your dental and medical history as well as a physical examination of your mouth.
In some cases, if you do not have sufficient bone density, we may recommend undergoing a bone grafting procedure.
Why Dental Implants?
Dental implants provide greater support to the jawbone because they replace the whole root of a tooth, unlike dental bridges and dentures.
Implants are healthier because they do not need support from neighbouring teeth and therefore do not rely on them to last as is the case for a bridge.
Dentures on the other hand hold on to your gums and therefore are not fixed and can move when you eat and speak.
How long do they last?
Like natural teeth, dental implants will generally last as long as you care for them.
They require proper oral hygiene attention at home and by a hygienist.
With regular maintenance, they could last as long as your natural teeth.
