Implant Dentures

Do you have dentures that wobble around, drop down when you talk or eat?

Do you have dentures that wobble around, drop-down when you talk, or eat?

Do your dentures affect your personal lifestyle or at work because they don't look like real teeth?

Dentures are not the perfect solution to replacing missing teeth, nowadays with the success of Dental Implants in replacing missing teeth, we can now replace dentures with a full mouth of Implant teeth or even use Implants to make your denture more stable and give you back your confidence and self-esteem.

What is an Implant denture?

The implant denture is like a denture but looks more like real teeth and sits on the implants for added retention so that it no longer will wobble or fall out when you talk or eat.

But if you no longer want a denture, then Implants can be used to give you a full mouth of fixed teeth that look and feel as if you have your natural teeth back. You can talk to one of our expert Implant dentists about this option too.

In summary –

How can dental implants replace my missing teeth?

Dental Implants can be used to replace 1 or 2 teeth that are missing in your mouth. This is simply done by placing 1 or 2 dental implants into the jaw bone where the tooth root used to be. Then a Crown or bridge, which mimics your teeth is connected to the implant/s. Thus giving you back that tooth root and tooth crown that you lost.

But If all your teeth are missing then, you have two choices;

• You can have many implants placed in the jaw where you have lost your teeth. Usually, you will need about 6 implants. To these implants, we can attach enough crowns to give you back all the teeth you lost. You will achieve the nearest thing to receiving your teeth back. The implant teeth will look and feel like your teeth and you will no longer need to wear a denture.
   
• If you don't mind the idea of a denture, but just want to be more secure and more natural-looking then you can have between 2 and 4 implants placed under the denture and these implants can be simply connected to a special implant denture. The implant denture is like a denture but looks more like real teeth and sits on the implants for added retention so that it no longer will wobble or fall out when you talk or eat.

I feel worried about the actual treatment, is there anything your dentist can do to make it easier for me?

We understand that a dental practice is not many people's favorite place to be. At Longwood House, we treat every patient with respect and kindness.

We will make sure that we are gentle in our treatments and our patients do comment on how they never felt anything during the treatment and how quickly they got better. Our dentists are either specialists in their field or have postgraduate training.

Our Implant dentists both have over 25 years of experience in dentistry and are excellent in relaxing and caring for the patient. We also can offer sedation with our treatments as well, which is very well-liked by the nervous patient.
