Implant Denture Stabilisation

The Lower Cost  Solution To Loose Dentures

 

 

Many denture wearing patients tell us that they hope implants  will  stop their  dentures from moving around and feeling loose when they are chewing, speaking, smiling and even kissing!

 

We commonly have a conversation that revolves around a desire to regain the  confidence to enjoy these activities without always having to worry about a lower denture moving or an upper denture dropping.

 

Denture fixatives do help but many patients have told us that even though these products help hold upper dentures in place a little better they would still rather not use a denture adhesive or a denture fixative every day. It is also a well recognised fact that a denture fixative will add little to a lower denture that is loose.

 

The cost of implant  treatments is another significant factor for may patients. The denture stabilisation route provides a more affordable approach to this type of treatment as typically fewer dental implants are used and as such costs are  reduced.

 

Stabilisation of a problem denture with implants is best suited to full upper or lower dentures although modern techniques also allow us to look at improving partial dentures with this technique too.

Stabilise Loose Dentures

If you have dentures that make chewing difficult or move around when you eat or smile we can probably help. It is entirely possible to use a small  number of implants  (usually 2-4)to stabilise your denture making it firm and comfortable in use. This can help to restore your confidence eating, speaking and smiling in public Book a consultation.

How Denture Stabilisation With Implants Works

This image shows a typical denture stabilisation on the lower jaw. 2 implants are  used with attachments that work in a similar way to clothes press fasteners. These lock in to a second part that is fitted to the inside of the denture and can be adjusted for more or less retention. On the upper jaw we usually use 4 implants that are linked together.
