Implant supported dentures do exactly as they say on the tin- they are dentures that fit over dental implants. But the big differences are they act more like a set of natural teeth and are a much more comfortable set of false teeth.
Implant supported dentures won’t slip and slide like traditional dentures
since they are fixed in place, implant supported dentures make biting and chewing more natural
Implant supported dentures remove the risk of your dentures falling out and can help restore the shape and size of your jaw for a younger appearance.
These fixed dentures are incredibly comfortable and secure allowing you to eat the foods you love, boosting your confidence with a new and improved smile.
Although implant-retained dentures are attached securely to the anchors in your jaw, they are incredibly simple to clean and maintain as the denture can be unclicked and removed. Simply brush at least twice a day to remove any plaque or tartar buildup and continue to attend regular dental appointments- just like natural teeth!
When we place the required number of titanium screws, we use a local anaesthetic so you shouldn’t feel any pain at all, apart from some minor discomfort for a few days after the procedure. This discomfort is normally caused by the healing of the stitches and will normally go away on its own in just a few days.
Before we perform any type of implant, our highly trained implant team at Airport Dental will schedule time to speak to you and make a thorough assessment of your oral health and suitability for an implant. This is also a great time for you to ask questions you may have about the treatment and any available options.
