Tired of loose-fitting dentures? Denture implants could be for you! Denture implants are a great alternative to removable dentures. Dentures are often the only option available for replacing missing teeth. However, some people dislike the maintenance involved with more traditional dentures.
A revolutionary solution for those with missing teeth, there are a number of different implant solutions: individual dental implants, zygomatic implants, and All on Four implants. Denture implants are ideal for those who have already lost several teeth and require dentures, or already have dentures but are struggling with their fit and function.
Implant retained dentures are a type of denture that attach to specially designed implants to hold them in place. You might hear them referred to as snap-in dentures or click-in dentures. Traditional removable dentures will be held in place by suction and specialist adhesives, but implant retained dentures are attached to small implants which are placed in the jawbone. This means they are much more secure and will allow you to talk confidently and eat most foods. As they are attached to dental implants set in the jaw, they will also be much smaller than traditional removable dentures. This means you will have fewer issues with speaking, eating and swallowing. With an implant procedure, there are a number of additional benefits for your smile that you should also be aware of. These include:-

What Are Implant Retained Dentures?
What Are the Advantages of Denture Implants?
During a consultation with Gavin Laidlaw, you will be presented will all of the options available for denture implants. There are many factors to consider including the health of your jaw and your budget requirements.
Denture implants are a more affordable solution between normal dentures and a fixed bridge (All-on-4). Denture implants are cheaper than a fixed bridge, and more stable than normal dentures. They allow you to smile and eat with greater confidence. However you do need to remove your fixed dentures each day to clean them, and the roof of your mouth is covered when your denture implant is in position.
Unlike a fixed bridge (All-on-4) which takes just a day to complete, the treatment time for denture implants takes a little longer, usually 3-4 months while the implants secure into your jawbone.
Not at all, we have patients aged over 90 who have had very successful denture implant treatment without any problems.
A fixed bridge can be performed in one day, it is extremely stable, and customisable to the shape of your mouth. The roof of your mouth remains uncovered, so you can taste and chew food properly. You can also smile with complete confidence, knowing that your teeth won't move.
Yes, very safe indeed. This treatment has a 98.5% success rate in non-smokers.
There are some components on the fixed denture (effectively seals around your gums) which need to be changed every 6 months (so, there's no avoiding your regular checkups!). The dentures themselves will probably need replacing every 5 years.
As with all of our implant procedures and team as a whole, your denture implant will be overseen by our fantastic Richard Brookshaw. With extensive experience in placing implants, as well as teaching others, you couldn’t be in safer hands. He has dealt with over 5,000 implant cases so far in his career!
