Denture Supports

If your dentures are loose or poorly fitted, your ability to eat and speak may be impaired. Owing to developments in dentistry, there is now a process by which dental implants can be used to secure a denture to the jaw.

This therapy, known as implant overdentures or denture stabilisation, offers denture-wearing patients a more permanent answer and can considerably enhance their quality of life. You will once again be able to enjoy your favourite foods and smile with confidence, knowing that your dentures will remain in place.

Here’s how it operates:

For the implants to be implanted in your jaw, surgery will be required.

After the implants have fused with the bone and surrounding tissues over a length of time, your dentures are attached to the implants using a variety of specialised attachments.

This indicates that your dentures can still be removed for cleaning, but once in place, they will remain in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I replace my dentures?

At Smile Hub Dental Clinic in Bayside Medical Centre our highly experienced dentists replace acrylic and chrome cobalt dentures for patients if they’re uncomfortable. If your dentures are loose when you’re eating and talking then you need a new set of dentures. Dentures should not irritate your gums or be constantly moving or slipping out. A lot of patients get a new set of dentures when they lose confidence in their dentures for eating and talking. Uncomfortable dentures can lead to pain and embarrassment when socialising.

Could dental implants help secure my dentures?

At Smile Hub Dental Clinic we often recommend a small number of dental implants to support your denture. If you decide to get a large number of dental implants a fixed bridge which is permanently fixed in your mouth can be used to replace your removeable denture. Implant supported overdentures or bridges can change peoples lives and dramatically increase your comfort when eating, smiling and talking.

What are the different types of dentures that I can get in Smile Hub Dental Clinic?

Bottom Dentures usually require two implants to support them in place. The majority of people struggle with wearing lower dentures. Some health insurances provide partial cover for lower dentures which are supported with dental implants.
