Dental Implants

Your smile says a lot about you and when it doesn’t look how you want it to, it can make you feel very self-conscious. Luckily, dental implants have been developed to provide an efficient and long-term solution to bring back your smile – making eating, smiling and having conversations much more enjoyable.

There are many reasons why a person needs dental implants, some of the main reasons are:

• Lost natural teeth due to injuries or impact to the face
• Poor oral hygiene resulting in tooth loss
• Frustrated with Conventional Dentures
• Dentures constantly loose, unstable and sick of using adhesives
• Wanting to be able to chew food and enjoy foods like with natural teeth
• Wanting to preserve the health of jaw bone and prevent further bone loss in the jaw
• An increase in confidence with appearance and eating in public

What are dentures with implants?

Dental implants are now more accessible than ever. The procedures are safe, efficient, backed with research and much more cost effective than it has ever been before.

Compared to conventional dentures that are supported by just resting on the gums, denture implants are an overdenture that is supported and attached to implants. The Implants that the dentures attach to work closely with your jawbone, not only to retain the dentures but the implant also helps to maintain bone and facial structures by preventing shrinking and deteriorating.

Types of Denture Implants solutions

   1. Bar-retained dentures – a thin metal bar that is attached by implants into the jaw bone. The denture fits over the bar and securely attaches into place via clips or different types of attachments
2. Implant Retained
   1. The denture is directly attached to implants in the jawbone. The implant fixture itself can fit many different abutment attachments to connect to the dentures.
      1. Ball abutment
      2. Locators
      3. Conical

3. Fixed Screw Retained
   1. All-on-4 dental Implant System
      1. This option provides a denture that is screwed into the implants, providing a denture that is fixed into the mouth like natural teeth.
      2. The All-on-4 option can provide you with a fixed full-arch denture insertion immediately on the same day of the implant procedure.
