Why should you get dentures?

Tooth loss:

  • The jaw bone may shrink up to 70% in the first year of tooth loss
  • The gum tissues become thinner and thinner over time
  • In the lower jaw, the nerves may become exposed to the surface of the jawbone, because they are only protected by a thin layer of gum tissue.

Results of tooth loss:

  • Dentures become sore
  • Dentures become loose
  • Sore Jaw Joints
  • The collapse of Facial Profile
  • Inability to speak properly
  • Inability to chew and taste foods
  • Loss of self confidence and enjoyment of life

How we can help?

Implant Retained Dentures

Implant retained dentures work very good as a retentive system. The denture is stabilized, which prevents it from moving sideways. However, it does not provide any up/ down stability to the back part of the denture. Food can still be caught underneath and the denture still rests on the gum tissue. In very thin jawbones, the exposed nerves can also be pinched by the denture. Implants that are not connected are more likely to fail and should not be put to function until after 4 months of healing.

Implant Supported Denture

Implant supported dentures are completely supported by the implant structure. It consists of 4-5 implants connected by a gold bar. This is a stronger system. With the right technique, it is not difficult to make this system function immediately. This system also provides better lip support and reestablishment of the facial profile. Upper dentures can also be stabilized in a similar manner.
