One of the most tiresome aspects of wearing regular dentures is the movement that occurs when you smile, eat and talk.
With implant-retained dentures, your implants will be firmly anchored into the jawbone, so there’s no risk of movement. In fact, everyday practices like chewing and talking will feel just the same as if you had your very own natural teeth again.
A dental implant is a full replacement for a tooth root, made from biofriendly titanium. Once implanted into the jaw, the implant takes on the role of the absent tooth root.
Your newly implanted implants will be the foundation for custom-made dentures, which are screwed into place. This is much more favourable than traditional dentures, which use weaker forces (suction) to remain in position, leading to movement in your mouth.
Yes. This is one of the greatest benefits of treatment. Your implants will make sure the jawbone doesn’t shrink. This means your face will appear fuller, and therefore more youthful than if you opted for non-implant-supported dentures.
