Implant Retained Dentures

Dentures have long been the choice of tooth replacement for missing teeth but as any denture wearer knows they do have their problems, such as being painful to wear and embarrassing slippage. Here at Novocare Dental we offer our patients an alternative in the form of implant retained dentures. Dental implants secure your dentures firmly in place meaning you can smile, bite and chew with confidence, without worrying what your dentures are doing.

So what exactly are implant retained dentures?

Dental implants are used for all kinds of restoration work and here at Novocare Dental we use them to act like tooth roots to hold your dentures in place. Dental implants are small screw like fixtures made from titanium which when placed into the jaw bone will over time fuse with the bone, creating a solid and natural platform. Your dentures will be attached to your new “tooth roots” to keep them securely in place meaning they will feel like part of you.

Advantages of implant retained dentures

  • Your dentures will fit securely and firmly to your gums
  • There will be less denture base to cover the roof of your mouth
  • The bite will be comparable to your natural teeth
  • Speech and taste will be improved with less denture base
  • No more sore spots or pressure points
  • More varied diet as you won’t be limited to easy to eat foods only
  • Digestion and well being will be improved

At Novocare Dental we offer a variety of implant retained dentures, including:

Removable dentures

This option is for patients who want to be able to remove their dentures to maintain them and this is done by attaching the dentures to the implants with components that snap easily on and off.

Fixed dentures

These dentures are fixed firmly to the implants and can only be removed by a dental professional.

Mini dental implant removable dentures

In some cases where traditional implants just aren’t an option for a patient, mini implants may be used to support the dentures. Although this procedure is not a long term solution, it does have certain advantages such as:

  • The treatment costs less than for traditional implants
  • The procedure is less evasive
  • A local anaesthetic is used to carry out the treatment
  • Both the procedure and recovery time are faster that with standard implants

During an initial consultation Dr. Sonny Oke will carry out a full examination of your mouth to assess the jawbone, the soft tissue, your general health, and the type of dentures you need. If you’re looking for a long term solution to problematic dentures, then why not call Novocare Dental on 01923 817942 to book an initial consultation and take that first step towards a happier and healthier you.
