Multiple studies have demonstrated that dental implants are a more effective long-term solution for missing teeth than dentures, which become unstable and must be replaced. However, securing dentures to dental implants is a reliable compromise.

STABILITY AND CONVENIENCE

When underlying bone is lost, removable prostheses can be used to replace missing teeth and support the lips and face. The use of dental implants to retain dentures provides additional stability and comfort, and serves to protect the patient's jawbone, thereby preventing their facial profile from ageing.

AVOIDING TISSUE DAMAGE

With the assistance of our expert denture technicians, we create dentures that complement the facial features of the patient. Typically, dentures rest on the gums and hook around remaining teeth, but regrettably they irritate the adjacent tissues, resulting in the loss of additional teeth. As the jawbone beneath the gums and the gums covering the jaw deteriorate, the prostheses become less stable and more uncomfortable to wear.

GUARDING THE JAWBONE

The gums were not designed to support dentures, but inserting implants to support and retain dentures will provide increased stability, enhanced comfort, and jawbone protection. A partial denture may also be an effective method to replace a few missing teeth when some natural teeth remain.
