If you have loose or ill-fitting dentures, your ability to eat and speak may become affected. Denture stabilisation is a great treatment for people who are having trouble with loose dentures or those who need the support of implants.
For a cost-effective way of replacing many missing teeth, dentures can be held securely in place with dental implants
With conventional dentures, the bone that previously surrounded the tooth root begins to deteriorate. An implant supported bridge or denture helps preserve your jawbone as the implant replaces some of the tooth root and integrates with your jawbone helping to keep the bone healthy and intact.
The number of implants needed will vary, for example a lower denture may only need two conventional implants, giving you a completely life-changing transformation enabling you to chew foods and smile with renewed confidence. This treatment requires minimal surgery and, in many cases your current denture can be attached to the dental implants immediately.

Using implants provides a great improvement from traditional removable dentures as they are secure and comfortable, meaning that you should not need to suffer any more embarrassing moments caused by loose dentures!
Dental Implants can be a costly treatment due to the materials used, training needed, and machinery involved in such a complex treatment. However, everyone’s mouth and circumstances are unique and so placing a set cost on a treatment is difficult without first understanding the patient.
Our staff are highly trained and knowledgeable about the latest available techniques and treatments. For an overview of expected costs please see our Fee Guide. Your dentist will provide a detailed personalised treatment plan with your specific costs after your initial consultation.
Whether you have just one missing tooth or several it is possible for the dentist to create a denture to fill the gap or gaps. Dentures can be made of acrylic or metal and may be fastened to your natural teeth using a clasp or clasps to help make the denture more secure. Dentures are custom made to fit securely round your gums, allowing you to eat comfortably, speak clearly and help to improve your confidence and self-esteem.
Dentures can be fitted straight after the tooth is extracted, so you will not have to worry about having a visible gap. However, over time your gums will shrink so it may become necessary to reline or remake your dentures at a later date. Once made, dentures can be expected to last about 5-7 years.
