Implant Retained Dentures at Brixton Smiles: A Secure and Comfortable Solution

Implant retained dentures offer patients a more secure, stable alternative to traditional dentures and we’re proud to be able to offer them to our patients at Brixton Smiles.

Traditional dentures have long been a solution for those who have lost multiple teeth, but they often come with drawbacks such as discomfort, instability, and difficulty in chewing certain foods. Implant retained dentures offer a modern alternative, combining the benefits of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. At our Brixton dental clinic, we specialise in providing implant retained dentures, ensuring you receive a secure, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth.

What are implant retained dentures?

Implant retained dentures are fixed to the jaw using implants, usually made of titanium, on top of which we then affix a set of dentures.

This solution prevents the common issues associated with conventional dentures, such as slipping or irritation, and allows you to enjoy a more natural and confident smile.

The Benefits of Implant Retained Dentures

1. Enhanced Stability: Implant retained dentures are securely anchored to dental implants, eliminating the need for adhesives and preventing the dentures from slipping or moving.

2. Improved Comfort: These dentures fit more comfortably as they are customised to your mouth’s structure and do not rest directly on the gums, reducing irritation and soreness.

3. Better Chewing Ability: With implant retained dentures, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods without worrying about your dentures shifting or causing discomfort.

4. Preservation of Jawbone: Dental implants help stimulate and preserve the jawbone, preventing bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss.

5. Natural Appearance: The dentures are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and boosting your confidence.

Why choose implant retained dentures?

While traditional dentures can help provide many patients with a functional set of prosthetic teeth, some patients find them uncomfortable and awkward. Implant retained dentures provide a much more permanent solution to the problem of missing teeth, and eliminate the need for sometimes hard to use adhesives.

They also have the added benefit of looking and feeling much more realistic. This can help boost the patient’s confidence, not only when eating and talking, which can be difficult with traditional removable dentures, but when smiling too.

What does the treatment involve?

As with other implant treatments, we first have to make sure you are a suitable candidate for implant retained dentures. This is usually established by use of an X-ray, which we use to determine if your jaw is healthy enough to fuse with the implants.Four

The treatment time for implant retained dentures is usually a few months. This is to allow time for the implants to fuse with the jawbone before fitting you with your permanent dentures. During this time, we can offer you temporary dentures, or if you already have a set, you can continue to wear your current dentures.
