Denture Stabilisation

If your dentures are loose or ill fitting, they can affect your speech and your ability to eat. It is now possible for dental implants to be used to fix your dentures to your jaw, improving fit and appearance. You will be able to enjoy all your favourite foods and feel comfortable laughing and smiling, safe in the knowledge that your dentures will not shift or move.

The dentist will perform a full assessment and determine exactly where to place the dental implants. These will be placed under local anaesthetic and will be left to heal for 3-4 months before your dentures are custom made to fit on top of the implants. Dentures can be either made to be fixed or removable.

Benefits

• Reduced irritation – dental implants are securely attached to the jaw, helping to reduce any irritation experienced with moving dentures
• Convenient – dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place
• Improved speech – With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip.
