When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height, width, and volume. This may affect the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth. The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the wider and longer implant can be. A wider and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We assess the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.

Permanent Dentures

Advances in dental technology have allowed our patients to access better treatments and resolve any issues with removable dentures.

Denture Stability With Implants

Bridges vs implants | Traditional dentures vs implants | Are implants better than the alternative?

Make your dentures more secure and permanent with implants. Do you have traditional dentures that are wobbly or poorly fitted?

If so, don’t worry; there are many dental solutions to help.

The Perfect Smile has many treatment options that target gaps to restore function and aesthetics for patients with one or more missing teeth.

Dentures are widely known to be one of the most cost-effective devices to replace missing teeth.

However, when they are ill-fitted, they become loose and move over time, which can cause a wealth of oral health problems and issues.

When it comes to restorative and implant dentistry, we are one of the best and offer a wide range of systems to suit every missing teeth case.

The Problem With Loose Dentures

Our denture-wearing patients often complain that their removable dentures cause discomfort and embarrassment daily.

As restorative dentists, we know the issue that loose dentures can cause.

Dentures can cause gum irritations and mouth infections when feeling separate from your mouth.

They can also make it increasingly difficult to eat naturally and speak.

On top of this, prolonged wearing of these types of dentures can cause the bone in the jaw to shrink; this happens when teeth are not correctly replaced.

Leading cosmetic and restorative dentists, The Perfect Smile aims to help our patients feel 100% comfortable and ensure their teeth are strong and healthy.

Stabilise Dentures With Implants

Implants can fixate and support dentures and bridgework.

As an alternative to removable dentures, fixed dentures are held in place with dental implants to stabilise the treatment and allow the patient to have a more straightforward oral function.

Additionally, implant-supported dentures eradicate the problems of dentures gradually becoming loose.

Traditional dentures:

Weakens bone in the jaw
A removable device
Must be removed to clean and sleep
It takes a few weeks
Makes eating difficult

Innovative implants

Promotes bone growth and robust oral health
Requires a short, pain-free surgical procedure
Works and operates just like a regular tooth
A few months of healing is necessary for the titanium screw to fuse successfully to the bone.
It makes speaking and chewing easy.

How Do Implants Stabilise Dentures?

In the procedure, titanium screws (implants) with integrated ball-tops are inserted into the jaw, fusing into the bone.

The procedure typically takes about an hour and can be done under local anaesthesia.

Your existing denture is modified to sit comfortably over the implants during the healing phase.

Discomfort during or proceeding with the procedure is usually minor.

Your dentist can prescribe medication to alleviate pain and suggest a modified diet during the initial healing phase.

After the implants have healed, your denture is modified to snap onto the ball-tops.

The denture will be secure until you remove it for cleaning.

Apply upward pressure to the front of the denture with your thumbs to unseat the denture.

Whilst they may be more expensive than conventional dentures, the aesthetic and oral benefits will outweigh any cost in the long run.

If you believe this is the proper treatment for you, we would advise discussing the procedure in detail with a qualified, skilled restorative dentist, who will be able to advise you on the correct treatment.

We want to reassure you that the dental implant treatment is not painful due to the proper use of local anaesthetics to numb the bone and gum deeply.

We can also use sedation techniques that also contribute to no pain or discomfort. More.

Successful Dental Implants Can Last a Lifetime

Once the implant has fused with your jawbone and tissues, the artificial titanium implant acts as an ordinary root.

When we implant a titanium implant into the jawbone, it becomes part of your oral foundation.

This offers several health benefits that include preventing any bone loss whilst supporting the jawbone structure and reducing the risk of gum disease. More.

“If treated correctly, dental implants can last from ten to twenty-five years or more.”

Dental implants can help with:

Teeth lost to trauma, accident or injury
Missing teeth caused by gum disease or lack of bone
Replace old, worn or broken dentures
Implant integrated treatments like Implant-Retained Dentures
Removable and fixed options
Replace individual tooth loss or full arches in one sitting

The longevity of your implant depends on how you improve and maintain your oral health. Read more.
