What is a Dental Implant?

Dental Implants provide a solution to the long-time problem of ill-fitting and uncomfortable dentures.

A dental implant is a small dental “post” or “screw” that is placed in the jawbone as an artificial
substitution for a natural tooth root. This provides a strong foundation to support or secure a partial or full denture.

Dental implants have the highest level of predictability among tooth replacement options, are the closest possible replacement for natural teeth, function like a tooth on its own to protect your jawbone and teeth, and are the optimal way to restore your natural smile.

Eat, Chew & Smile naturally again with Implant Secured Dentures.

Types of Implant Secured Dentures:

• Implant Supported Dentures are designed to take the full force of your bite, absorbing it through the implants and jawbone and thus functioning as the most effective and natural bite. Implant Secured Dentures require a greater number of implants and a good quality bone. These are fixed in place and are not removable.
• Implant Retained Dentures the gums will absorb the main force of the bite. They require fewer dental implants and may maximize use of stronger, thicker bone that is available. Implant retained dentures need to be removed for cleaning at night.

Why are Dental Implants a Good Choice?

With Implant secured or retained dentures you will have a more stable and natural feeling compared to traditional dentures. When dentures are secured and more stable in the mouth a greater variety of foods can be chewed effectively without dislodging the dentures. Many patients who have chosen implant secured dentures are pleased and comfortable for the first time since they lost their natural teeth. They no longer feel as if their dentures will ‘slip’ when speaking or laughing and they have improved confidence with their smile.
