For years, dentures have been a popular and straightforward remedy for extensive tooth loss. Comprising an acrylic base and teeth that fit over your gums, they offer a quick fix. However, as time passes, dentures can become bothersome, potentially leading to oral discomfort and damage.
Implant-retained dentures are an innovative solution which involves strategically placing implants into your jawbone and customising dentures that securely attach to them. The result is an exceptionally stable denture, granting you the freedom to enjoy your favorite foods and embrace a newfound confidence in your improved smile. Say goodbye to the inconveniences of traditional dentures and welcome a superior way to restore your smile.
Absolutely! Your new dentures with implants come equipped with special attachments that easily connect to the implants, allowing you to remove them effortlessly. To maintain their cleanliness, it is essential to take them out at least twice a day for cleaning. Additionally, brushing around the attachments and gums is recommended, and remember to remove your dentures each night before sleeping.
Regularly removing your implant-retained dentures is crucial to eliminate any food debris that might get trapped underneath and to prevent the growth of bacteria. Moreover, should your dentures ever require repairs, removing them will simplify the process.
Before proceeding with any implant procedure, your dentist will schedule a convenient time to assess your oral health thoroughly and determine the suitability of implants for you. This evaluation also provides an excellent opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the treatment or explore available alternatives.
